Overview
Barely Informed News aired a special 4.5-hour Candyland RPG session hosted by Case Blackwell, guiding seven players through a homebrew campaign from polio-ward origins to a climactic confrontation with Mr. Mint, Last of the Slave Giants. The party fractured across the board, with John and Bill rocketing to Peanut Acres via Rainbow Road while Claire and Raw Dog murdered a Starcracker in the Peppermint Wastes. The session ended on a cliffhanger as Raw Dog’s wafer consumption summoned a colossal giant, with board positions saved for a potential continuation.
