No promises. No promises. But anyway, anyway, anyway, we've got quite a bit of news this week. It's quite a big, big news week, especially D&D news. Oh, so what's going on? Yeah. Yeah. So what order are we going to do this in? I think, I think this week, because normally we go, let's do all the non-D&D news first and then the D&D news. I reckon we shake it up a bit and alternate.

I'm going with Sigil, is officially live. So that is the 3D virtual tabletop. From Wizards of the Coast. It ties into D&D Beyond. There was closed beta testing going on for the last year, I think. Six months to a year.
