Thank you to all of our participants for contributing their wonderful stories, all of the folks who featured us on their corners of the internet, and the players who bought, played, and shared our tales. We truly couldn't have done this without you.

For now, we're passing the baton to the Games for Gaza Bundle that's raising funds for the Medical Aid For Palestinians organization. While we're not officially affiliated with the organizers, nor do we have any content in the bundle ourselves, we stand in solidarity with those on the occupied Gaza strip.
