    Well, we're back from the downward spiral--a never ending pitfall of work and unpleasant experiences--to bring you more of, well, us. After tripping and eating gravel at the starting line, our second recording actually came through. As far as my pandemic addled brain can recall, we discussed D&D, jobs, gaming etiquette and, like, I don't know, spiders I guess. We're taking a bit of a different stance going forward, as Dungeons and Dragons is a little, uh, completely devoid of interesting conversation points somewhere close to 100% of the time. The new Matt Mercer book came out, granting us ANYTHING to latch on to so we could talk about our hobby that we love oh so dearly. This, however, marks the beginning of a new era--an era where we talk about D&D but also uh other stuff too.
