Absolutely amazing!
Seen a lot of discourse about TTRPG rankings, possibly because I haven't posted my perfect and unassailable opinions for a few years.

I’m not great at promoting the podcast at Gencon. I only talked to 4 or 5 people about it. But each one of them was such a cool person with a great perspective - I wouldn’t trade it for the world. It’s good to be with your people.
