So sit back and join Teja and Cameron as they coach Mahli-Ann on how to stop being a player and start being a master - a dungeon master.

How Much Does Cam Love Ro? (A Belated Valentine's Special)

2/28/2024
Hey all, we're back again. The crew is still scattered to the winds with various tasks but we have a delightful episode today, once again with Cam and Ro. This time they're going through classic relationship quizzes to determine if they'll go the distance. Sorry for the delay in this coming out - it was supposed to be on Valentine's day but the editor was busy/lazy/distracted/pick your excuse. Point is, blame him and not your favorite hosts (he can take it). We'll hopefully be back on schedule soon. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
