Ursula Vernon's Hugo acceptance speech included this delightful anecdote-slash-metaphor-slash-encouragement. https://www.patreon.com/posts/91410900

"Homicides in the U.S. dropped significantly in 2022 and have plummeted even faster this year, putting the country on track for one of the biggest declines in killing ever recorded, crime statistics show"

Imagine that - Republicans are lying about that one too.

I'm not a fan of dueling games, but Unmatched isn't bad. The first few times I played, I switched characters every time and didn't get to know their cards before playing. Big mistake.

This month, I played three times as Medusa. By today's third play, I knew how to use my advantages and manage my hand.

Sinbad and Medusa were both still standing when we defeated Angel and Willow. It was all but over after I played a lucky Gaze of Stone against the defenseless Willow.
