Established on May 5, 1905, by Robert S. Abbott with 25¢, Chicago Defender was the foremost Black newspaper of its day. Boldly proclaiming itself "The World's Greatest Weekly," it had a profound impact nationwide. 2/3 of its readers lived beyond Chicago. Abbott ingeniously expanded by enlisting Pullman porters, who established a distribution across America, especially the hostile South—a catalyst for the Great Migration.

HOW TO SPOT A RIP CURRENT:
IT'S WHERE THE WATER LOOKS EASIEST AND SAFEST, with no waves breaking or rolling in.
NEVER ENTER THE SEA HERE.
If you get caught in a rip, DON'T FIGHT IT. You can't swim back to shore against it; you will become exhausted and drown.
Instead, SWIM ACROSS IT, parallel to shore. You'll soon be out of the current and can then easily swim back.
Boost, please, and make sure your friends and family know this when they hit the beach.

- Photo of a beach, taken from a balcony above. There are (mild) waves breaking all along the shore, excerpt for a corridor right on the middle, maybe 20 metres wide, with no breaking waves, no seafoam etc. The person who made the photograph has drawn a big circle around round this corridor to emphasize it. It *looks* like this should be safe. It's not! This is a rip current. It will pull you very forcefully out to sea. It's dangerous to fight against it. Just go with the flow (literally), let it carry you out a bit, then swim across it, parallel to the shore, and you will soon be out of it. (remote)

Reviewers described it as a kind of roguelike, which sounded cool! But I kept rolling samey encounters with high headcounts that took forever to resolve. And like I said before, there's no creative component that really requires this to be a tabletop game.
So I guess I COULD automate some of it, but it hasn't been good enough to inspire that kind of devotion

yeah I'm just not having a good time with Alone Against Fear. I just got an encounter where I was attacked by ***3D6*** zombies, and the chance, even if it's just 1/216, that I might have to manually roll attacks for a total of 19 different characters was nearly enough to make me close the pdf.
