Happy nautical new year, nerds! This one has Adron, Travis, and Ian sailing the seven sleepy seas to create an adventure that can help some old fogeys stay awake. (Fogies? Fogerties?) Plus: rabid sleepytime bears! Plant clones! Weak shanty attempts! Wow! 🏰 RE: RE: New Year, New You Clippings To all Royals and Royals employees: we see that you are trying to clip your plant clone to create additional clones, and ergo i.e. e.g an entire plant clone army of yourself. Well let it be known that any attempts to unionize these plant clone armies will be squashed immediately. Squashed! Gardening joke! Dictated but not read, Travis Royals

And baby eldritch blasts! 👶 RE: RE: To all parents of Royals and Royals— You are invited to a wonderful night of BLOPPI ON ICE!

34 – Oops! Fall Druids
OH MY GOURD. Travis and Ian nestle in to share cider recipes and the best way to stay cozy while adventuring and covered in pumpkin guts. Or demon guts. Either way, its natural and so we support it. 🏰 To all Royals and Royals team-members— The employee refrigerator in the break room is there for you all to use, but we have to establish a few rules. Please add your name to your food so when Travis steals food from it, he will know who has good stuff. Also please label whether or not it includes GMO fruits, vegetables, etc. GMO stands for Guidanced Magical Organism. I know it will give you a extra d4 to get your work done, but some people prefer to not consume them Thank you for your cooperation. — R&R Humanoid Resources

33 – So Cool It's Spooky
Aaahh!!! Real hipsters! Ian, Travis, and Adron teach all of us nerds how to prepare for a cool people Halloween party. The answer involves lots of bird meat and very little clothing. Plus: Adron's first stand-up meeting! The coolest hat ever! And invisible make out sessions! 🏰 To all Royals and Royals team-members— You may have noticed four very skinny duergar have taken residence in the kitchen. This is Mr. Royal's new "entourage". They are relatively harmless, though their judgmental looks may cause some psychic damage... and insecurities about your outfit. If you want to get on their good side, we recommend giving them a carton of Marl Burrows. Huzzah! R&R HR

JUMPSCARE! Travis and Ian are making a modern horror story set in the spookiest place of all: the suburbs! It's a choose-your-own adventure that is equal parts trick AND treat! Plus: shin kicks, loose s'mores, and lengthy descriptions of garage paint! 🏰 To the witches and warlocks of Royals and Royals- The cinnamon brooms are intended as seasonally appropriate decor and should not be ridden around the office.
