Here's the 2nd half of Episode Zero, immediately following the previous episode with the crew hitting up Chultan meat pie stands in the docks district... Like I said last week, this was originally just an hour long one-shot designed to test our chemistry at the table, and to see whether or not this whole "recording a podcast" thing would work, that turned into a two and a half hour game session that was SUPER fun. Admittedly, the recording quality isn't quite up to our usual standards, but like we said, it was originally just a test. =) Next week, we've got another short rest setting up the start of Season Two, which will debut MAY 1st!
