## Resource

What is this? A good freaking episode?! I told you 2026 was going to bump up the quality, and this episode is where I started putting even more effort in scripting than ever before. Far from perfect, but this is actually pretty darn good. Hope you like it, and expect more like it from now on, but with a bit more anger and verve ^^ Type: Review | Book: The Dice Man | Writer: Luke Rhinehart
