Hey now, Kabbalah's Jamie here.

And before we get on to the episode proper, I needed to talk to you for a second about the big event that's coming next week.

If you're listening to this episode when it releases, it is May 26th.

And next week on Wednesday is, of course, June 2nd, which is when we're launching our 2021 fundraiser over on Kickstarter.

Now, I know I come back at you every year with this and talk to you a little bit about it,

and I got to do that again here because really, honestly, this is the most important thing that we do every year,

because this is the major way that we fund the show, that we make sure that the show

can continue going on. At this point, we do weekly content. We do the secret cabal gaming

podcast, three-hour show every other week. We do our role-playing show, Lords of the Dungeon.

We also do the Secret Cabal Express, which you're listening to now and our new Ministers game

show Battle Tome that comes every three months.

And putting all of this stuff together takes a lot of time. And we wouldn't be able to do it

if I couldn't be doing this full time. I try really hard not to saturate the show with commercials

and all kinds of different stuff that will overwhelm the content of the show. I want this to be

the most pure show that it can be. And I want to entertain you guys the best we can. And this fundraiser is how we do that. Now, of course, it goes without saying that last year was an absolute nightmare year for everybody, us included. And it was really difficult to do everything that we really wanted to do last year because of the pandemic,

because of the social distancing and all that different stuff. But one thing that came out of it

was that it really solidified in our minds how important this show is to us personally.

We really are proud of the show we've put together here. And it's the most important thing

that we do with our lives. And it's the most important thing that we do with our lives.

And it's so exciting to us that we get to get together and make this show, put this

entertainment together and put it out there. And the feedback and comments that we get are just

absolutely wonderful or overwhelmingly wonderful. And we just hope that we warrant your support. Everybody out there,
