Minions and Musings

This was ready to go back at the beginning of February. For whatever reason, it never published and I didn't go check on things. So, you can hear me talking about stuff when I had a snow day from work. Wonder what I talked about? Because, I honestly don't remember.

The first game session has occurred. Naturally, I have a couple thoughts about it. I speak on a couple things I need to be better with and things that were good. I also start a side rant about people and hangups with prepared material, but cut that short before I say too much.

I still haven't written anything down. I do speak about not going to Mythic Con this past weekend and the reasons for it.

Yep.... I'm back. Man, getting back to making a podcast was harder than I thought it might be. But, I was not about to podfade away. Nope, not me. When I'm done, I'll say I'm done.
