We mustn't dwell on it... Not today... Not on Sammy Hammy Day!

Come join us for part 2 of Hannah Shaffer's Damn the Man, Save the Music, as our team of players do everything they can to keep Revolutionary Records from falling apart during Sammy Hammy Day!

Linton (https://twitter.com/NearFutures). Those of Us Who Know Better is a tabletop roleplaying game about transgender superheroes whose powers come at a price. In a time where there's a lot of anti-trans hatred in our country, it was exciting to play a game that allowed everyone to experience trans joy for a bit.
