We recorded another podcast! Holy smokes, folks, and welcome back to the Play Greater Podcast! Can you taste the Gen Con in the air?! We sure can, and we cannot wait to sink our teeth into a slice of proverbial Gen Con pie.

Listen as one of your hosts Christopher and at least two of your hosts Paul tear through introductory banter and news with wild abandon reaching a potpourri of podcastian postage and their popular pinwheel of prompts.
