Love all the podcasts, I'm a churchmouse who cannot afford a cold beer at a family picnic, so I have not funded you at all. but, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the Adventure Zone. I have an idea for the next story, which, if it has not already, I can't believe hasn't been suggested: Horses. Each character begins with a horse companion, that in the game context, serves as a mecha. Some natural, some robotic, some cyber, some magical or supernatural. I can't wait to hear TAZ: Plainsrunners

I think I need to take a break form this podcast while I eat my apple. I laughed while I was swallowing and little bits of apple nearly went down the wrong pipe.

I'm not super clear on why they still wanted to draw Scalibur after they realized Ahn was lying to them. he kinda seems like a bad god.
