Tonight Chris and Dan start off with some news and some what we have been playing chat.

Including a discussion about our recent 6 hour game of forbidden stars.

Then Isaac Vega and Jonathan Gilmour join the cast to talk about Dead of Winter Expansions (Holy scoop!) , Ashes, and News at 11.

And finally all 4 of us play a game of News at 11. This was one of those things that was just truly fun as all hell to do. Some random fun improv and a great game to boot, so you better run and pick up both Ashes and News@11 at Gen con.
We all had an amazingly fun time that we hope everyone will love this episode!

Thanks for listening!
