Read, Play, Game

SPOILER WARNING: We discuss things that happened in our Heart - Play (Part 1) episode, so if you haven't listened to it yet we would recommend doing that first!

We wanted to include our discussion on character progression without interrupting the narrative flow of the game. So we're adding it as a bonus episode!

Our characters get a couple new abilities... but mostly we descend into a bit of madness ourselves.

**NOTE: On the Rules Lawyer's audio track there is a bit of background noise once or twice that we couldn't remove. This is due to a highly energetic pet turtle that was in the same room and was having a few filter issues. We apologize for the sound but please direct any complaints toward Timothy the turtle**
