PTG Chit Chat 14 – March Chatness
It was a wild few days and the end result was that even though we had some neat potential topics, we just didn’t have the spell slots to put them together. The end result is this — MARCH CHATNESS, where we once again talk about something that’s giving us life in gaming and something that’s giving us life outside of gaming. We also realized this show is the first show of our sixth year, which is absolutely WILD. Hear us fail at math and gasp in astonishment in the outtakes!
