Howdy and welcome ventures to Episode 9 of Campaign 2 of the Venture Mid-Inch Podcast.

I know many of you listen to us on Spotify, and now good news!

Spotify is introducing a rating and review system for podcasts on their platform.

For all of you who listen on Spotify, it would be an amazing help for you to give us a rating or

review to ensure that other people can find us easily and help with our metrics.

And as always, an incredibly special thank you to our Patreon donors for getting us here.

It's thanks to you that we were able to have a blast at Pax and meet so many of you in-person,

which was an absolute delight in just the best way for me to end this year.

Of course, a special thank you to Emily Mayo for composing our theme song and

Serenscape for providing additional ambient music.

Now, one of our sponsors this episode is Dwarven Rations.

Made in Bermuda and Shift Worldwide for 20 years, Dwarven Rations makes artisanal cakes

with the dedication to quality.

These cakes are fantasy themed and made by a dedicated group of gamers,

nerds and artists. They have an abundance of flavor from the traditional lemon and

madagascar vanilla to chocolate to swizzle, which is like a rum punch, coconut and a rumm

ginger, which is in the spirit of a darkened stormy.

And each box includes a random tabletop RPG die for you as an extra special little treat.

And for those of you who want a new merch product for your fan base,

but not have to worry about buying and paying and shipping inventory,

then they even have cake cakes for you that you can customize with your logo and everything.

These are great for starting up merch with little to know up front costs.
