Session 64 - Horsing Around / Redonkadonkey / And we said Neigh, we are but Men

Good work everyone! You're cop killers now. It's always been a bit moral-grey-area in this game but I think you've finally tipped over into being the monsters in other people's stories. This hasn't happened before so I'm interested to see where you take it!

On numbers, even the overflow game needs an overflow game at this point, so if you're thinking of inviting friends maybe hold off for a few weeks!
Alternatively if somebody wants to try running a game, your time is now!

I've been out all night eating too much food so I'm too full for email-based witty banter right now. See you next time!
