Posted by Troy
In this episode, we talk about our recent Weekender event, the games we played, and all the hobby that we did in prep for that event as well as the upcoming Adepticon. We also head into the BoD library to discuss everything we’ve been reading and watching. In crowdfunding, Troy shares some of his tales of woe. And finally, we announce the faction for the charity army.
