In The Business of Gaming we check in on the state of crowdfunding through the lens of the recently concluded Trail of Cthulhu 2nd Edition campaign.
There are ants, ants, ants as big as well they’re quite small really but they’ve nearly completed a program of global conquest so Fun With Science takes a look at their supercolony wars.
Grab some cotton candy or a corn dog as the Word Hut offers a course on 1920s and 30s carnival slang.
Finally, at the behest of beloved Patreon backer Paul S. Enns, Ken’s Time Machine glimpses the dark timeline where an 1866 proposal by a US Congressman to annex the British North American colonies actually went somewhere, depriving Canada of its origin story and the world of Canada.
