  • Great podcast!

    New podcast from experienced podcasters (I’m a longtime fan of the 40k podcast one of the hosts has been doing), and this has the same quality and fun I’ve come to expect. Enjoyable and thoughtful discussions that help me relive the games I played when I was a kid, and makes me want to play them again!
