Joan, Robert, and Samson face off against Travis Trent, in a fight that turns out to be truly for their lives...
Also, in a masterful work of time compression, we spend nearly an hour of game time on only a few seconds of diegetic (that's "within the world of the narrative") time. Some would call this a highly successful work of cinematic exploration.
Content Warnings: AIDS and HIV, demons, discussion of sick children, knives, illness, swampiness.
Our players are Gary Slack, Sharon Mariem, Kieffer Katz, and Noah Lloyd.
