Wraith is a World of Darkness setting with the highest potential story catharsis to those involved. To rise above and find it, first we must hit rock bottom.

The largest payment eliminated by DOGE was $38,468,659 to the American Institutes for Research in the Behavioral Sciences for transition support services to adulthood for disabled children served under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.

The missles in this video cost more than that.

This is both remarkable and totally unsurprising.

Here’s a person Trump hired to advise him on war and peace (though realistically probably just war) who has absolutely no idea what the Constitution says on the topic.

Hard to capture Idiocracy more perfectly than this clip. Heaven help us.

A mockup of the Blades '69 book where the 69 has been crossed out and replaced with 69 in bright purple. 
Below that, the bio for April Kit Walsh which reads: April Kit Walsh writes games about feelings, vulnerability, and caring for one another, including Thirsty Sword Lesbians and End of the Line. She used to be a swordfighting ballerina, but claims those days are behind her; she has absolutely no idea who that masked heroine with the sword and the tutu might be. When not writing RPGs, April is a civil liberties attorney working to protect the rights of criminal defendants, activists, journalists, and everyone else impacted by the technologies of control or empowerment.
Next to the bio, the description for the $420k stretch goal:
Blades '69: The Sexual Revolution
The 1960s were a time when the counterculture challenged establishment norms around sex, love, family, and a person's right to choose what happens to their own body. How does this conflict manifest in Doskvol? How does the Consensus exercise control through these dimensions of human experience, and what struggles and delightful deviancies does your group want to explore? Blades '69 is a combination of a worldbuilding exercise and safety tool to help you bring themes of both real-world and fantastical sexual liberation to your game.

yeah yeah we saw all you sly posters going "Blades '68? ...just ONE off."
Well we're not COWARDS. Challenge accepted!
At $420k we'll commission April Kit Walsh (designer of Thirsty Sword Lesbians) to write up... Blades '69

Instead of bringing back Firefly, how about a TV adaptation of 'The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet' instead.

A group of fantasy explorers stand in a cave littered with trash and remnants of previous explorations and devastations; purple light shines down from a large hole above them. Ahead of the group, a creatureβ€”seemingly asleepβ€” lays, its body twisted around itself like chainmail. Will they wake the creature? The text reads: I just backed Numenera: The Amber Archive on Backerkit!"

We return to our Impossible Landscapes series today, as Winters hunts old records, while Webber and Hawking make the worst of their house call.
