Hey, my gaming peeps!
The thing I’ve been working on for far longer than I’d intended is finally done! You can get it as a pdf or pod at DriveThruRPG. Link in the comments.

Polite Society has funded! And then some!
I'm very excited to start working on this. And hey, if you are one of the folks who backed the campaign or asked about writing and drawing and what-not, please head over to this page: https://www.facebook.com/politesocietyrpg

Sign up, like it, follow it, and introduce yourself. That page will be our town square community--our Plaza of Dark Delights, so to speak, where we'll hack into all of the things in the zine and I'll be getting feedback and opinions from the assembled.

Thanks again, everyone, for making this happen! I won't let you down.
