Picture of the Month!
There's nothing here- for now!
Every month, we will be offering an antag token to the person who sends in the best picture!
This picture doesn't have to be taken using an in-game camera, and can be of anything happening on TGstation. The funniest or most impressive picture taken will be posted in the newsletter, with the winner credited and given a big ol' antag token.

Pictures can be sent in by directly messaging @kinnebian on discord or through a post on the relevant players club forum. They must be from a recent round on /tg/station.
