Happy #ThrowbackThursday everyone!
This week we're sharing our live recording of Knights of Potcedonia from Dragonmeet 2023!
Potcedonia is a tiny world made from magical castaway foodstuffs threatened by looming dangers that its even tinier knights must face!

FYI I’m especially keen these days to talk to:
- folks who were at the D&D Live events 2017-19
- AP creators pre-2010(ish)

- any game designer or AP creator with Shakespearean or pre-1800 projects (existing or any stage of development)

I don't usually do this, but I will be at #PAXU and would love to know about your booth/panel/other cool thing.
I'm in the final stretch of the first draft of the AP book, so would also love to talk to folks I haven't had a chance to (along with familiar faces I''ll be glad to see again).

Heidi Alexander, the transport secretary, rules out metal detecting arches at stations, pointing out that with the number of stations and entrances to each it's basically impossible. She says that overall, UK trains are a pretty safe place to be.
