AND THIS FRIDAY AT NEW YORK COMIC CON https://www.newyorkcomiccon.com/en-us/explore/panels/panel-information.html?gtID=746937&panel-name=WIFN-The-Beauty-of-Blackness-in-Professional-Wrestling

On this review episode, Kendria and Travis dig into another section of chapters of book three of The Land. Our steadfast MC goes from having a cathartic night full of joy, acceptance and honoring the dead, to being assassinated and sent to respawn in one of the worst, most painful ways imaginable for a man. The village leaders supported Richter in his revenge plot and even provided him the means to pull it off. Richter asked for more and now owes a favor to a forest, spirit wolf! We find out what the rewards are for defeating opponents nearly double your level. The loot is certainly exceptional. Running from a 15 foot Rock Giant with a healthy stamina pool is so unfair! @Ddustpodcast (twitter) Ddustpodcast@gmail.com (email) 415-787-5229 (voicemail)

After multiple months off, Kendria and Travis are back talking about book three in the Chaos Seeds series! Picking right up where book two left off, what is our MC going to doing about the two new prisoners captured while he was away? Randolphus is playing a diligent chamberlain role, but is there more to him and if so, what? Why is Richter so determined to explore the catacombs beneath his place of power alone? Krom gets his magical forge and it is heavenly! After dozens died in the bug bear attack, Richter extends an emotional olive branch and the entire Mist Village is better off for it. @Ddustpodcast (twitter) Ddustpodcast@gmail.com (email) 415-787-5229 (voicemail)
