The Thirteenth Hour Podcast

Ideas on a new Thirteenth Hour short story and card game - Logan and Aurora want to get married in the Fairy Chateau, which is very expensive and booked for years in advance. What chance so two unemployed penniless orphans have?

Piece of cake, right? Wedding planning's never easy, even in a fantasy story!
