Mike and Chris talk about their interests this summer, as wills are tested by the deluge of Warhammer releases and the nostalgia for World of Darkness. They've been playing a lot, but not recording much, so this episode contains a plethora of roleplaying game, wargame, and video game reviews! But with limited time and torn interests, will they spend their remaining free time in 2023 trudging through the grimdark or embracing the gothic punk?
