This episode Deanna is back to join an open discussion about what to do when the inevitable happens and your gaming event fails. We announce a new local event, and then Gwen returns to talk about the games we’ve been playing (which is a lot). This includes a couple of local game nights and us hosting the board game area at the annual Windsor Sakura Anime Festival.
