Bugs and Ella get sold on a time share in an Alternate Universe


Author of The Amelia Temple Series and Shadows Over Ravenkirk, Vivian Moira Valentine brought to our attention something truly monumental. Did you know you can play pretend with yer gay lil friends and it’s cool now?

finger to ear piece I’m sorry my apologies I have been informed that it’s more of a begrudging tolerance and a Chris Pine vehicle.

That’s not important what’s important is there is a Pro Wrestling Super Hero Table Top RPG.

Ella Tailor (Wednesday Night Fake Fights) has a Theory of Everything

Bugs Maytrix (Podatag Podcast, Attic Magic) has a Magic Card for Everything.

Together we are going to prove that Everything is Wrestling.
