Meet Cadiver "Beef" Pokestear, a wily drifter who was arrested and hanged for picketing for the right to loiter - but the hanging rope snapped, so he still wears it around his neck as a symbol of defiance to any lawmen who come after him.<br><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/ttrpg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ttrpg</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/FrontierScum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FrontierScum</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/yeehaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>yeehaw</span></a></p>
