Episode 18 – How Do You Solo? Interview with The Snek of Vol’dun!

Show Notes 

Welcome to Episode 18!

First episode of 2025 and Season 2 of Solo Queue is an interview with The Snek of Vol’dun, a vocal proponent of making the Sethrak a playable race.  A chance social media encounter turned into a great conversation with a fellow solo player.

Still planning for a regular episode in January as part of the twice-monthly plan for this new year.
