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

This is one of those conversations.

D6G, the lost chapter.

Greg, I know we're getting ready for a big road trip to Gen Con here, but I said specifically,

I did not want to stop unless it was dunk. We were in this place here. It's his Starbucks on it. What is this about? We were running out of gas. Oh, wait. Is that John? I reckon it's him from that video podcast. Is that painting? Is that met off, John? Is that you? Hey, guys. how you doing?

Excellent.

What are you doing here at Starbucks in the middle of nowhere?

Well, as a matter of fact, I'm actually at work right now. Really? Are you a Starbucks barista? I am not a barista. I am a process engineer. I actually design roasteries. Designed groceries.

See, I didn't even know that was a thing.

So if you go to Seattle, there is a very special Starbucks there.

To date, there is only one Starbucks where we actually roast the beans in the actual store.

And I was the process engineer for that job and did all the startup on it.

And now we are opening one in New York City and Shanghai.

Do you get to go to Shanghai?

I have not had the chance yet, but I am imagining that I will.

Awesome.

You'll love it.

It's like sci-fi central.

Really excited about it.

We're opening, there will be like five others, but I'm, I don't even know where most of them are going to be.

So I couldn't even talk about it if I wanted to.

But they're really exciting.
