Hi everyone, Gressel here.

Before we get to this week's episode, I want to take a moment to address recent events.

Black Lives Matter.

The six of us are united with those standing up against police brutality and racial injustice

in response to the murders of George Floyd, Hamad Arbery, Brianna Taylor, and the many, many others

who lost their lives at the hands of police in this country, including David McAtee, Brianna Taylor, and the many, many others who lost their lives at the hands

of police in this country, including David McAtee, a black restaurant owner in Louisville,

killed just this week by police who turned off their body cameras.

In addition to our food-based COVID-relief charity donations, we will be making donations

to appropriate causes to support this righteous fight.

Racism, hatred, and state-san sanctioned murder have no place in civilized society.

The six of us are taking this time to listen, educate ourselves, and support those in need.

We encourage all of you to listen to voices from the black community.

Hear the pain they are feeling and extend empathy and compassion.

Take action how you can.

To our listeners who are part of that community, our hearts are breaking for you.

We are with you, and we support you.

We present this week's episode without further interruption.

We hope that the next hour and 38 minutes will provide you with some joy and a few laughs.

Fantasy gaming and storytelling is an escape for a lot of us,

a way to navigate the complexities of our world through symbols and myths, through story and song.

But we cannot look away as our fellow Americans are treated as less than human by the most
