Thank you.
hello and welcome to all the role-playing game players game masters designers and fans out there this is mastering dungeons i'm sean here with my super energized co-host teos abadia happy almost labor day but happy return from pax days yes i uh i am a weird mix of energized by everything that happened at pax and exhausted by how much energy it took to run everything there plus my work week
I believe it. So good packs. It was an amazing packs on a number of levels. I got to see that game. That was really fun. There were some very, very hilarious things like Omen drawn escaping the dad like duties of his business franchise by going to the bathroom and hiding there for an hour. And then Perkins sent him messages. So he's like getting the messages while he's on the potty.
And then he casts create water, washes his hands and looks at the crowd and says, because I'm not an animal. It's just the kind of dad humor I'm here for.
that's that's that's what we love about uh at kink yep and uh and let me just say the packs i mean i can't i don't know that i can share the full numbers of how many people came but it was twice as big as last year it was and and then some it was unbelievable we had two fire marshal
type incidents where everybody was working together to solve how do we handle the massive amount of people who are trying to run in and go straight for the D&D area. It was a sea of people and just shocking. And anybody out there listening, if you were one of the folks who came by and said hi and thanked us for the show,
thank you again um if you admin thank you if you dm'd thank you if you played thank you it was so cool to see great people we had robert pasley from uh our patreon he was there yeah what an incredible guy he's running and and then he's like you want me to run some more and then you want me to keep running and then then he says you know i have dinner with my wife i should really go
Lots of stories like that are just people going above and beyond where they needed to do that. And what else? Yeah, we got the anniversary special die. We had the uni and the hunt for the last horn preview of the 2024 rules adventure that I mean, players loved it. They had so much fun going back into the world of the of the 80s and comic, what do you call it, a cartoon.
And and they just, you know, played their hearts out and were super positive. And that was one really interesting thing is The entire weekend, I really had just one person who said anything about not being excited about D&D in 2024. And they weren't a player. They were just somebody kind of walking by. And everybody else was just so excited, so positive. They either didn't know anything about it.
