Bear Acquaintances
Look, it happens. Periodically, a bear murders someone and takes over their online identity in the search for snacks, companionship, and remote networking opportunities. Sure, being married to a 700-pound bear who ate and replaced your spouse is annoying but, like the common cold, it’s something we all live with.  Bear Acquaintances is a slice of life epistolary game inspired by We Bare Bears and Gail Simone's Bear Incident on twitter. But with more casual murder. Play normal humans, bears pretending to be humans, and less normal humans pretending to be those bears and send comfy letters and well-meaning advice to each other. Also, the hilarious consequences of that advice. This game is part of the #SaveThePost Jam.
