Finally, we settle into one of our favourite topics - Hobbying! Tips, tricks, and trials that make us love the game!

Seeing Stars
This week, we put out a request on Twitter (@ref_get) about what we should talk about this month - and thankfully, Jeffro came through! This month, we talk about how our Roll20 mini-tournament went and our teams that we took to it. After, we start chatting about stars and their proposed roles in the new system. Hint: they are a big deal! And we definitely don't talk about Adam. Or the Old World Alliance.

Josh and Scott are joined by Darcy and Lair as we run through our twelve days of Christmas, just like our former Prime Ministers, Bob and Doug Mackenzie.

We run through the recently released FAQ in our Rumour Mill, introduce NAF-man, run through the four remaining God-like stars for Hammerslam, and introduce the idea of the "chainpush" to the rookies. All in all, we are just four friends looking forward to playing games in person again soon.
