And we'll be back sometime next month with our next bonus episode, on the Tough Guide!
(NB: "The True State of Affairs" contains discussion of child abuse and pedophilia, and thus so does our episode.)
Our first S3 bonus episode drops today, discussing Dalemark as a series, with an eye to the Guide to Dalemark and a long stopover on the early proto-Dalemark novella "The True State of Affairs"
Believe it or not, this one was supposed to be short.
