We finally made it, no more waiting! We’re here on an off-week to really just gush about how great Shadowbringers is. We mean tremendous. Just phenomenal. This is a spoiler-free episode (the worst thing we do is name zones that were already in the live letters) so you don’t need to worry about plot details being inadvertently revealed. We discuss our impressions of the story, the music, and first feelings about job changes and just our general feelings a few days in.

We know not everyone can play as much as they want right now, so we’re hoping we can fill that Shadowbringers hole in your day with us discussing why you should have even more desire to play Shadowbringers. Kristen couldn’t make it for this episode but she’s here with us in spirit and feeling the same giddiness over this release that we are, we promise.
