Yep, its another Wednesday night. I missed last week's Tavern Chat with GameHole Con but I'll be there tonight.
In truth, I'll need a nap just to stay up as I'm still catching up from GameHole (what a fucking blast) but I'll be ready by 9 PM.
Use the following link if you haven't stopped in and joined The Tavern's Discord Server prior:

See y'all tonight...
