0:00.0 | I'm pulling out the parking lot. We all know what that means. It's time for another drive from work. |
0:06.8 | So I did this podcast this morning. I think I can do it better. We're going to do it again. That's why I'm doing a drive from work. |
0:13.2 | It's my last chance to get it this week, but I think I can do it. Okay, so today I'm going to talk all about the making of the Forexian arc. |
0:22.6 | So I did a whole podcast about the making of the bolus arc. |
0:25.7 | People liked it. |
0:26.5 | They said, you should do one about the Frexian arc. |
0:28.5 | I said I will once we finish it. |
0:30.5 | So we have finished it. |
0:31.9 | So now I can talk about it. |

1:13.9 | like we just keep seeing the same characters set after set. We like a little more variety. |
1:20.3 | So we decided this time to structure a little bit differently. The idea essentially was we wanted |

1:29.9 | telling stories and then we sort of lead into a story and then it would ramp up over time was the |
1:36.3 | idea. That was the plan. Okay, so sort of we started at Throne of Eldrain. War of the Spark |
1:43.5 | ended at Thorn of Eldrain. So we started a Throne of Eldrain. War of the Spark ended at Thorn of Eldrain. |
