Things are going great, Sean. Yeah, I'm having an absolute blast on this Monday. Let's see, what am I doing? Yeah, I did a lot of looking at monsters, and that was kind of inspiring. And I had an amazing, amazing game of Deadlands on Friday night where I really had to ponder, like, why is our group so much fun? Like, it was that good a session.

And speaking of silly but okay, let's talk about our listeners. Our listeners are all okay. Some of them are a little silly, but not the people who write to us. They are generally very serious. So we're going to take a couple of those emails right now, starting with Tentacles Squelching Wetly via our Patreon Discord.
