Paula and Banz! Y'all were so close to beating 🏴☠️ Pirate King! And you went way over to keep playing -incredible! Apparently Banz hates co-op but had a good time!
Broken OBS, sticker parties, raids galore. Forget the game, the stream was gold!

...we always use a DICE TRAY when we play.
Should there be one in the game? Or as an Add On?
