In this episode we discuss our thoughts on the current state of narrative killteam and some of the things we’d like to see in the future. To help us we’ve surveyed the public and can bring you the results.

As a forewarning, a servoskull was found gnawing through our vox-caster so our audio is less that our new standard but we hope you enjoy our ramblings nonetheless!
