inclusion in a wojackpost might be the worst thing to happen to Du Bois since the feds stole his passport. i will do it four more times. "Matthew, Day has dawned. Of course a little Virginia farm cannot bound your world. Our feet are set in the path of moving millions... The Great Central Committee of Yellow, Brown, and Black is finally to meet. You are a member. The High Command is to be chosen. Ten years of preparation are set. Ten more years  of final planning, and then five years of intensive struggle. In 1952, the Dark World goes free - whether in Peace and fostering Friendship with all men, or in Blood and Storm - it is for Them - the Pale Masters of today - to say... Our chart is laid.

For people who haven’t been keeping up with Paizo’s releases, TME is a revamp of Golarion's Notfrica (oldheads might recall the Expanse from Heart of the Jungle, Sargava: The Lost Colony , and the Serpent's Skull adventure path in the last gen) for PF2E; it's served as a launching pad for other stuff that's come out focusing on the Expanse, like the Strength of Thousands AP or The Slithering .
