I've released a new #ttrpg. About electroconvulsive therapy and memory loss. I could write many words about it, here. But I've already poured out my heart in the Itch page and in the pages of this game. I hope you visit and play the game for yourself. Link in reply.

More photos of Essential Enemies 8: From Underground, the latest issue of my quarterly monster manual zine.
