Whoops. Amber had a really off day. Running one-shots takes a lot of mental energy it seems.
She tried to play Fate’s Fickle Winds by Nathan D. Paoletta with Brandon but they both had no energy. Lesson learned here: Don’t push yourself too hard! So no game this week, but here are the outtakes from Damn the Man and Lasers and Feelings!

Pro tip: don’t take a business trip thinking you’ll have time to prep for games at night. That’s not how business trips work. And it’s why I ran Abnormal by Avery Alder instead of the Warren for this episode.
Content Warning: Abnormal is a game about body horror, focused on the betrayal of one’s own body and senses. If you have any sensitivities towards this subject matter, you may want to skip this one.
The Witness: Brandon
The Horror: Kristin
