even though I’m not gonna be a host of ttrpgbc anymore, I still want y’all to support this show with everything you have. it was a joy to work on and I’m sure will continue to be a joy to listen to post hiatus :>
This is a full, longer post very intentionally, but here's the TLDR as well: We're going on a hiatus for a multitude of personal reasons, and when we return, Finch will no longer be a host on the show. There is no ill-will and no big issue between us. Please respect our privacy about the matter!

So, it's been a little while. Here's an explanation for that (kind of), and a heads-up that we're taking a brief hiatus, until at least after PAX: Unplugged this year.

Due to what can only be accurately described as “a series of unfortunate events”, we will not be putting up an episode this month, but we will still be covering “Something is Wrong With This House” in May!
