In a rare and dangerously content filled distraction from usual, here's a quick guide to the landscape around squadrons.  What consoles make sense, what controllers make sense, and what's this VR business?

For Fun And Profit

Also fine!

Misleading Title

This is definitely fine, and not a disaster

A one-shot set in the Deadlands Universe, using the Savage Worlds! system by Pinnacle Entertainment. It is Travis's favorite setting, and I wanted to share it. Pinnacle has made the Deadlands Reloaded handbooks free to everyone during quarantine, if anyone is interested: https://www.peginc.com/store/helpin-hands-bundle/

We're also using the newly released Foundry VVT, mostly because I wanted to try it out. Bear in mind that

1) I'm a newb at virtual table tops generally, and

2) even moreso with foundry, because my only previous experience was as a player on roll20, so don't hold that against foundry (or do, I don't own stock).
