Game Master of Darkness: Meta and Progression

Emerald Specter 141: Divided

Emerald Specter 141: Divided

The United States of America is no longer a united country. Sure, on paper, we appear to be a united nation working towards a common goal, but there are two definitive factions working to actively tear the nation apart with wildly different agendas and neither seems to want to see the fact that their own agenda has little to do with being an actual working government for the people as is stated…
