What is the hardest thing about being a GM?

Which other league have you had most fun in?

Who was the first friend you made in sim leagues?

Both of you are amazing people I never really had the chance to spend a lot of time with. Tell us more about yourselves if you are ok with this. Where do you live? do you work/study?

Thanks @xjoverax for the sig!

Recording is done, another 3 ish hours in the can to be split up between 2 weeks

     

Episode 3 goes out tonight, Episode 4 early next week. Get your questions in for the next recording session.

     

Episode 4 is live, next recording session will need new questions so feel free to ask them.

     

On a more serious note, were there any surprises for y'all in the post-season?

Presuming there's more released about expansions by the time these come out, what are some general thoughts?

If you had to choose 3 active members of the SHL to go on a cross-country road trip in a Yugo, who would you choose? Would the answer change if it was a modest-sized RV/Camper Van? You cannot choose more than one member of the D&D group.


Why the Ace firing and later bad words suspension threads for your first Thunderdome history lesson, and not "he hasn't regressed his own player yet"?
Alternative Gems:

• Rush Suspension. Apparently 3 other people got suspended at the same time? Separate Link for Rush Ban
  
• The Time Some Guy Created a P2W Imitation League (Bonus: The Same Guy Tried to Sell His Steam Account and 1-vs-Multi the Anchorage Armada (But Mainly Asslap, the GM))
  
• SHL Old Head Gets Suspended, Carlz Tries to Grandstand. Lol
  
• Old-Old Dragons Had a Meltdown About "Ok Boomer" (Bonus: Part 0)
  
• The Great Gnomedab Controversy of 2021
  

Side note, my two takeaways from those threads were: 1) On the topic from one of your past episodes of people we miss, I don't know about y'all, but I miss ml. I hope wherever he is, he's doin' well. 2) Finn just telling Carlz to fuck off in apropos of nothing in every punishment thread through quarantine sent me.
