Laid out on the table is three notebooks, three bumper stickers, and a moth man plushy. The spiral bound notebook says the Cryptid show on the cover. The other two notebooks say collar, journal and host journal.

There's about 8.5 million people in New York City. There are 38 whole states that have lower population than that. -Its GDP is about $1.3 *trillion* just for the city itself. The one city carries about half of NY State's economy. It makes 60% of Canada's GDP in an average year. (Including the metropolitan area, it handily out-earns Canada) It also takes in about 57 million tourists a year, in a good year, from here and abroad (so when the tourism industry takes a nosedive due to, say, COVID or international boycotts, it matters.) There's also a less-obvious thing: When things go sour economically in NYC, people stop spending money. with THAT many people, even small changes in spending habits are going to make a difference, and just through 'that group of 8.5 million people is spending less, we're gonna have to start laying people off' or "a lot of people moved here from NY because they can't afford to stay there", that affects the entire US.

Screenshot of a Wikipedia page for James Price. The text says he was an English chemist and alchemist who claimed to be able to turn mercury into silver or gold. One challenge to perform the conversion a second time in front of credible witnesses, he instead killed himself by drinking prussic acid.

An image featuring Randy Milholland’s head shot in a frame composed of severed hands holding each other. The text says “ my next stretch goal guest is… $75,000… More art! A picture is worth 1000 words and to help illustrate these illustrious critters. We’re adding even more art to the book. Courtesy of the singularly talented Randy Milholland not only will you get to see an all new array of abominable animals you’ll also be able to feast your eyes on some beautiful scenes with hosts and callers galore and even a conspiracy board keeper or two.”

An image that says “a very Cryptid crossover: a brush with the black flies. Something foul is a foot or afly in the town of Evergreen Maine. The townsfolk are torn; some are fearful, sensing an evil writhing just under the surface of their sleepy mountain town, while others drift peacefully through their daily routines, a look of rictus euphoria on their face. A shadow flickers at the corner of your eye… an eye that will remain securely non-compounded. If you’re lucky.”
