Hello ladies and gentlemen hope you're all staying safe. We're going to keep you occupied this month with a bunch of stories by Fritz Libber and a bonus episode of Strategy.

But first we want to tell you about this month's sponsor, The Thorn Claw Manor Illustrated poker Deck and Art Book by Steve Ellis.

Two years ago, Steve created the first Thornclaw Monster Family card deck featuring

portraits of the first 18 family members, but since then the stories have expanded and

more creatures have joined the family.

So in this Kickstarter he's funding a second deck with all new characters as well as pins and

art prints with descriptions of the characters.

These illustrations are beautiful.

I love them. We'll link out to the

Kickstarter and share some images on social media, but there are

deep ones and nymphs and kathuloos. I'm gonna buy 54 different

frames and put all of these all over the house and a second deck to play with.

I would recommend getting a third deck with which to murder as well.

What? Oh my God.

Speaking of which, I don't want to raise the stakes too much, but if doesn't hit a certain number I don't know if you know this yeah

If that doesn't happen he promised to murder one of our listeners. Oh, jeez

Yep, did you ask him to promise that? Look, we're running all this advertising stuff on our own I don't know much about it I said you know I love the

cards Steve let's just establish a CPM that's cost per thousand

impressions you know the acronym's a little confusing because it stands for

cost per millet meaning 1,000 in Latin so I was like let's just establish that

rate for a spot at the top of the show and then maybe you murder somebody as well.

I don't know whether that's the best practice or not.
