Because DLC is your downloadable commentary for the week delivered the way we love it to be. And that is completely free. Thanks to our patrons at patreon.com-slash-dlc-pod. They bring the show to you and in return, they get some cool stuff. Including ad-free episodes. They get video versions of the show. Although not this week, because Christian's still out. And an entire bonus.

This show, we call paid DLC, it features myself, Lana Boshinsky, and for the last few weeks, Danish Syed, special guest, Phil and Infra Christian, who is out right now. And it's been a blast. I hope you've checked that out. Patrons get that show exclusive to them. So check it out patreon.com-slash-dlc-pod. DLC, of course, the show, all about games. And there are many forms. Games played on desktop, laptops and consoles.

Also games that involve dice, luck, and cardboard. I am your host, Jeff Canada, the Spell with two ends in one T. And I am joined this week, once again, because Christian is somewhere out there beneath a blue sky.

I will join once again by our friend, Lana Boshinsky. Hi, Lana. How are you? Hi, Jeff. I'm so good. You know, it goes unspoken. Nobody needs to say it. But I will. Christian is slacking. I'm here to pick up the slack. I'm happy that I could be here. And hopefully Phil, a slightly Christian shaped hole in everybody's hearts. Phil, ask a please. You're reshaping that hole right now. Oh, yeah. I'm like, this is what you get. Travel in the world. Whatever. It's it's awesome.

Have you on the main show? Of course, Lana's been been almost in almost every of the page shows lately. And it's been awesome having you there too. So folks can, can double dip on the Lana Boshinsky by becoming patrons. So I highly encourage it. It is an unstructured crazy show of nonsense.

I'm like this one, which is highly structured and very prepared. Oh, yeah, there's bumpers. If there's a bumper, it just whatever comes after the bumper is immediately validated as being very on top of things.

Well, I look forward to validation happening numerous times this episode. Hey, we got lots to talk about. We got lots to dig into. You know, it's kind of a low for releases, but we still got big stuff to talk about. I think we're going to do some tabletop time this episode.

And all of that is because we have an awesome guest to do all of this with you know that DLC always stands for your downloadable canada.

Usually you're downloadable Christian, not not the last few weeks, but this week we are excited because once again, DLC stands for developer literary contributions because we have the author of the game dev business handbook as well as the co host of the virtual economy podcast.
