424: POK Mailbag Farewell! (Also Matt Announcement)

This week we've got a weird episode for ya, we went to the Galactic Council to ask them for questions regarding the end of the POK era of the TI. A lot of it involves Hunter and Matt looking back at their 8 years of working on the show but also we've got a discussion at the end that pertains to Matt's continued involvement in the show. It's a bit of a downer but I hope y'all will stick with the show even if Matt will be less involved going forward.

421: Blood on the Clock Tower Appreciation Podcast (ALSO THUNDER'S EDGE TEASERS ARE BACK, ALSO ALSO TI DIGITAL ANNOUNCED WOW)

This is easily one of the craziest episodes of this podcast we've ever produced. So first up we're going to cover FOUR new Thunder's Edge component teasers because I got to make it up to you for all the weeks I wasn't able to share the new stuff. Then we're going to talk about the new announced Twilight Imperium game "Twilight Imperium Digital" and only after all of that will we get into the meat of the episode where Hunter, Matt, EJ, and some fun guests talk about our shared love for the social deduction game BLOOD ON THE CLOCK TOWER. If you've never played this game before hopefully you'll get a good idea of why people love it and what kinds of gameplay experiences you can find within!
