The Scones Alone

After a long wait, it finally arrived:  So much swag  Feverishly digested it over several nights. Invited players in with promises of British cheekiness, Arthurian legends, Nausicaa , Alien -esque body horror, and Jacob's Ladder  style "your world is no longer correct" creepiness. But no clear explanation of what's going to happen. Cause I need their minds wrecked.

And it's not just the rolling, there is also the time spent flipping through pages to read the result of each roll. After doing that, I think I'd be unlikely to use other information from ...
