Summary

Twilight Imperium tournament season is upon us and Hunter and Matt are officially freaked out. There are clearly a lot of people vying for a spot in the upcoming Patreon tournament, so today we decided we needed to set the record straight on the structure of the tournament and give some important sign up information. This is one of those episodes that exists in the moment and won’t really be listenable in even just a couple months, but...it’s important information! And if you don’t care about that information, there is Tech Overview errata and some community “drama” that we address regarding whether or not our show is “gospel.” Music provided by Ben Prunty.
