  2. Hype for the Future 142G: Unorganized Counties in South Dakota

    Overview While every county located within the State of South Dakota is an official unit of government within the State, the particular counties of Todd and Oglala Lakota (formerly Shannon) within the State are identified as dependent on external counties for duties, namely the Counties of Tripp and Fall River. Even though Oglala Lakota County exists within the State of South Dakota, the community of Hot Springs within Fall River County takes the duties of the county. Similarly, Todd County […]

  3. Hype for the Future 59D: The Township Codes of Maine

    Overview Though the west-central townships in Maine are often named townships, most of the townships further east lack proper names and have generic alphanumeric codes that may be experienced by hikers and local and remote travelers alike. Such codes include the following: WELS: West of the Easterly Line of the State (townships in Northern Maine) BPP: Bingham’s Penobscot Purchase ED: East Division MD: Middle Division ND: North Division SD: South Division BKP: Bingham’s Kennebec […]

  4. Hype for the Future 59C: Specific Townships

    Big Townships Within the State of Maine, the Big Twenty, Big Ten, and Big Six Townships receive special designations related to being larger than standard Maine townships by land area. The Big Twenty Township is pinned to the combined areas that would be Township 20, Range 11, West of the Easterly Line of the State and Township 20, Range 12, West of the Easterly Line of the State. Big Ten Township refers specifically to Township 10, Range 17, West of the Easterly Line of the State, while Big […]

  5. Hype for the Future 59B: Legal Definitions of Maine Township Names

    Generic Township Names Generally associated with the northernmost areas of the State, including within Aroostook, Penobscot, and Piscataquis Counties, the generic township names are apparently similar to the names of the Public Land Survey System, except that the State of Maine, derived from Massachusetts, has been surveyed in the metes and bounds system. The numbers of townships increase northward, and the numbers of ranges increase westward from the easterly line of the State. For […]

  6. Tribes in Alaska will be eligible for $150M for cleanup of contaminated lands…while $300M will be set aside for tribes in the lower 48 states. Territories and #unincorporated communities will each be eligible for $50M in funding, while communities near the Southern border will receive up to $100M

    A GOP spending proposal would rescind $1.4B in environmental justice grants. Regan, Podesta and other officials vowed to fight the Republican plan, which Biden has strongly opposed.

  7. “Boy, this was our land before the war,” his grandfather would reply, pointing to 40 acres running from the cemetery to the water to the jungle, over the road and back almost as far as their eyes could see.

    “We’re taking care of it because we hope, one day, in the future, our land will be returned to us.”

    Roy didn’t really understand what his grandfather was talking about; it would take him years to realize it was related to Guam’s status as an “#unincorporated #territory” — which means the island is a #possession of the United States.

    It was just normal that no one residing on Guam could vote for president, that the U.S. territory had no senator and only one, nonvoting, member of the House

  8. Next time I play #Unincorporated with people who have no frame of reference for the kind of town it's about, I'll just show them this video and tell them it's anywhere from Tier 1 (Land Unknown to Dollar General) to 4 (Town) on the scale.

  9. Trying an experimental #Unincorporated series with a 10-year time jump in the middle.
    I did not expect to go into that time jump with one character leaving town in a hurry to escape his debts, one betraying her friend and making a Faustian bargain with a ghost, one becoming a hermit haunted by his experiences literally being possessed by said ghost, and one just saying fuck it and leaving out of boredom.
    Things got *eventful* in the last hour!

    #ttrpg #indiegames

  10. The first time I ran a playtest of my #ttrpg #Unincorporated, I made a little playlist based on the session. I've added more songs for each campaign, and encouraged other players to add music, too. It became a feedback tool to gauge the general vibe people feel from the game.

    It has 53 songs now, has both Spotify and Youtube editions that are slightly different, and I love it. I listen to it when I'm working on edits. Maybe it'll reinforce the tone.
