More than two years of this stuff…
While I am cognizant of the fact that our little podcast here has a small and silent fanbase it amazes me that despite irregular uploads, content droughts, our constant contrarianism, and general autism that we have people that want to listen to our stuff.

Many proponents of D20 systems hide behind assertions that people can like what they like. This is certainly true, to an extent. However, a role playing game system exists to facilitate a unique art form, and can and should be critiqued on the merits of its ability to accomplish this.
