  • Not always correct and perfect, but always thought provoking

    I don’t think I’d be friends with Rob or Val. Gotta bad feeling they get obnoxious with their politics. Fortunately, I care about the art and not the artist. They are good at putting on this podcast. They are great community leaders. We need more standard bearers like them. Keep up the awesome work fellas.

  • Really good, small but

    I love the cast, love the energy. Nice to hear guys that cultivate and motivate the community. One small question? Why are Canadians and The English so obsessed with US politics that it has to mentioned on almost every cast. Gaming is escapism for a lot of us, remember that.

  • I’m really enjoying these.

    These podcasts are too short! There I said it.

    Now, apart from that, these pods are really really helpful to me. I’ve painted minis for a long time but only. Ow have I tried to play the game and the thought and theory contained the episodes has been vital.

    Please keep going and maybe make them longer……………….

Q: What do you think of the Carmine Dragon's potential return?
I know that dragons were supposed to have a heavy thematic role in this edition, so I expect more dragons to come we might see even further fantastic creatures, like the Toad Dragon.
