A whimsical cartoon-style illustration titled "Half Past the Unlucky." It features a colorful two-story building resembling an emergency room (ER) with a Red Cross emblem. The upper floor shows hospital beds with smiling stick-figure patients, while the lower level has waiting room chairs and more stick figures, including some in trash cans, adding a quirky touch. A white ambulance with red accents and a wheelchair sit in the foreground. Snowflakes and a crescent moon decorate the black background, enhancing the festive and humorous theme.

A Role Playing Game

Every Caverns and Creatures campaign needs three things: Knights! Wizards! And political discourse? When a group of friends finish their long-running C&C campaign, an exploration of what comes next turns into a heated debate over political differences that might be more treacherous than any monster.
