Cory Booker and Chuck Schumer are useless until you realize they are probably the Republican’s Joy Division and, as machine Democrats, don’t care as long as they profit with the other politicians. Despicable.
Yes, Cory, Trump is enshrining insider trading. What are you doing? NOTHING.

We’re currently working on our Secret Stretch Goal, a Brindlewood Bay crossover mystery called Estate of Affairs! The Murder Mavens investigate a murder mystery; the Latchkeys are behind the scenes of the filming of that episode of Brindlewood Bay!

Update 17: Secret Stretch Goal #1: Brindlewood Bay Crossover Mystery · Public Access Analog Horror Mystery TTRPG
We’ve just unlocked our $450K stretch goal, Gathering Dust, and so now it’s time to reveal our first Secret Stretch Goal! If we can raise more money than Brindlewood Bay did during its Kickstarter campaign, we’ll make a crossover mystery that can be played with both Brindlewood Bay and Public Access. The mystery is called Estate of Affairs. The Brindlewood Bay version is a classic murder mystery involving the death of a wealthy cattle baron in New Mexico… and the greedy heirs trying to lay claim to his estate. The Murder Mavens are in New Mexico on holiday when the local sheriff, aware of their reputation back in New England, ropes them into the case. The Public Access version of the mystery is a Lost Transmission about the filming of that episode of Brindlewood Bay. What starts as a normal day on location for a small group of production assistants turns into a nightmare of ancient pacts and blood sacrifice. The mystery will be presented so that Side Characters, Locations, and Clues account for both the Brindlewood Bay version and the Public Access version. And there might even be a circumstance that causes them to literally crossover with one another…In order to beat Brindlewood Bay, we have to raise $477,518 USD. If unlocked, this stretch goal will be a digital download.
