Nate and Roman take a look at Wyrd Chronicles #6. It has some great how-to articles on a few different painting techniques and building your local community we recommend you go read in detail. We also get a moment of nostalgia for M2E and horror at time being a flat circle since this Chronicle came out right as M2E was announced! Then, on to the main event, the story - "Formaldehyde Nights". Liste...

In this episode Doug, Vic, Roman, and Nate reveal our 'fixes' for Henchman Hardcore, as well as reveal several cards from the upcoming Bonanza Brawl expansion. 2024 saw us hard at work flexing our game design muscle, and this is what we have to show for it (besides the keyword rewrites).   Ha...
