    It's official we are gearing up for season two of our show, after our much needed hiatus and networking stint that was 2021, its time to hop back in the chair and chat with some of the amazing nerdy creators that exist on the internet! 

    Now, much to everyone's surprise I am sure we are going to be keeping with the theme of D&D and TTRPGs. We are going be chatting with new creators on Tiktok, explosively successful kickstarter projects, and some familiar faces who have really cemented themselves as leaders in the space. 

    So, get those arcane focuses ready and get ready to rage. It's time to dive into Season 2! Coming April 8th! Oh, and all of our episodes will be video recorded and put on YouTube as well!
