a screen shot of a letter reading: "S.M. in Morganton, GA: Thank you Electoral-Vote.com readers for sharing all your hobbies! I loved the diversity and also the similarities. I held my breath for a few posts cause I was like "Where are my political junkie TTRPG nerds at?" Then I found my people! WAVES to M.F. in Des Moines and R.L.D. in Sundance. I got into politics and gaming at roughly the same time. At home in the 80s and 90s, CSPAN and NPR were the preferred background audio. Meanwhile, my peers were exploring these dark escapist role playing games: The World of Darkness. Now I am 47 and running games for people all over the world as the overlap between tech and TTRPGs has exploded in recent years. What was once an analogue activity (table, pencils, dice, paper, a multi CD stereo, lamps, and imagination) is now being done in a Discord chat room (or Zoom, or Twitch) with immersive audio, die "bots," and, coolest for me, the ability to play with people from all over the globe. My current games include players from almost all U.S. time zones, as well as Australia, Greece, Bermuda, the U.K., and Germany. I love using urban (and sometimes suburban and rural) horror to help me and players make sense of the world. The stories we co-write in real time provide an outlet, an escape, and possibly most importantly, a laboratory for finding new and creative ways to deal with the horrors of the real world away from our "table." I say this as the Storyteller/Game Master/Dungeon Master and I hope that I am providing that space for my players as well. I'd love to hear from people who have taken their hobbies pro. I am toying with the idea of running paid games but I am also concerned about losing the passion."

Image of text that reads: D.E. in Lancaster, PA, asks: In Marvel's Captain America: Brave New World, James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes, a.k.a. the Winter Soldier, announced he was going to run for Congress. In the MCU's latest film, The Thunderbolts*, it is revealed that Barnes was elected to the House to represent his home district in Brooklyn. Do you think a 108-year-old man (cryogenic stasis, for those who don't know) from a modest background, who was best friends with Captain America and fought beside him against the Nazis in World War II but was later captured by the Russians, was augmented and brainwashed to become a feared super-powered assassin (the Winter Soldier), was later operated by Hydra (a secret villainous organization bent on world domination) to assassinate a lengthy list of victims, who has a vibranium artificial arm gifted to him by a wealthy but secretive African nation, but who after being de-brainwashed, fought alongside the Avengers to save the world, be elected to Congress in our universe? And is Bucky Barnes a Democrat or a Republican? Inquiring minds have to know. (V) & (Z) answer: New York City has already elected a congressman who fought the Nazis, worked as an assassin, was re-armed by Africans, and helped save the world. His name is "George Santos."
