Gen Con lesson #1: Get the comics cast out before Gen Con, because you’ll be too busy afterwards to deal with it!

Gen Con lesson #2: People listen to the Comics Cast! It was my first time at Gen Con & it was really great to meet a bunch of listeners of the CC and our APs. Thanks, everyone!

We wrap up our play through of Durance in a dark little tale of desperation and upheaval. Once an oath was broken, the spiral was impressive in its acceleration and finality.  To get a good idea for the tone of this episode, go brush up on the long term effects of radiation poisoning. Enjoy!
