Jason joins us for our second Improv episode. This time we have Robin Laws discussing his new game, Skulduggery. We had some major issues with the sound on Robin's side of things, so apologies for that. The content was so good, we felt the story still needed to get out.

Another thing we should mention is this month marks the four year anniversary of TGTT. We'll talk about that in an upcoming show, but in the meantime, we'd like to thank our listeners who have been with us all this time.

Hey folks,

I just wanted to put out an update and let you all know what's going on with TGTT. When Veronica and I got back from MACE, there were a couple technical glitches, caused by me, that prevented the show from coming out. By the time they were solved, the holiday season was in full swing for me, as I was training my holiday staff (most of you know I'm in retail--MALL retail).

It's taken me some time to get my body re-acclimated to the ridiculous time and effort I put in at my day job during this season. So I have to get the shows out when... read more
