For many years now, Russ and Craig have had many wide-ranging conversations with folks from all over the gaming world.

0:15.7

This is one of those conversations.

0:27.8

D6G, the lost chapter.

0:35.3

Hey, welcome back.

0:41.8

And so here we are, rugged, ragged, tired, Gen Con just behind us.

0:44.8

After a long drive to Gen Con, Craig, I need my Dunkin' Donuts coffee.

0:46.5

We're alone in Dunkin' Donuts. All of our friends are back home, sleeping like rational individuals, but not us.

0:50.3

Kind of cavernous.

0:51.5

We're freshly home.

0:52.8

Kids are in bed.

0:53.3

There's a bit of an echo because we're all alone. But we've got our coffees. What did you get for a donut today? I did not get a donut today because I ate like a hog throughout Gen Con.

So days, day, like, like, literally like a couple days before we left. I get it's Saturday and we're like leaving on Tuesday. So it's really like, I'm looking at it like, I really want to break this open and dive in, but I'm driving a Gen Con in three days.

2:06.1

It doesn't make any sense right now.

2:10.2

So, but I got to flip through the book a little bit and then we saw it at Gen Con.

2:14.3

So Craig, when you got to that booth, because Spartan Games was there.

2:19.3

This is also the first Gen Con Spartan Games games actually present at in themselves with their own boot.

2:22.0
