Dear Reader,

I hope this publication is a balm in trying times. As such, I’ll get right down to it.

For this month’s features we are so happy to bring you Laurie McRae Andrew on Spiritfarer (cover art by our very own Stu Horvath) and Edward Kane on Bear Pirate Viking Queen.

For this month’s Funeral Rites, brought to you by Exalted Funeral, Orrin Grey writes notes in class about The Molt.

And now, the regular rogues we’ve got a pretty full house! Oluwatayo Adewole brings the noise. Elijah Beahm achieves legendary status. Jay Castello calls symbologists cowards. Maddi Chilton fires the first salvo in a Pentiment subtheme. Emma Kostopolus is next up in the secret Pentiment subtheme! Matt Marrone follows in the great American tradition of having his sons work on his farm. Natasha Ochshorn reminds us most of the worst jokers won’t read a book. Emily Price has spent the last 30 years finishing the Final Fantasy VII remakes. Justin Reeve unpacks in Hyrule. Rob Rich has thoughts on a little cat friend. Levi Rubeck casts magic and slashes at giants. Ben Sailer stretches his legs into the new and familiar. Phoenix Simms is at the nexus of time and space. And Autumn Wright is in dialogue with Grace Benfell.

For the rest, I’m going to keep it short and sweet.

Trans rights are human rights. Eat the rich. Resist and dismantle fascism.

See you all in the next Exploits!
