First up, though, Jeff Naumann tells us about the two days of Age of Sigmar happening at Siegeworld 2018, Aug 25-26, in St. Louis, Missouri.

Some personal, quite-subjective reflections on AoS, it's community, Warhammer Live, podcasting, and more. Speaking of podcasting, I've gotta get better at breathing through my nose, and pick up a microphone windscreen. Good lord. Hopefully the breathing isn't too annoying. Thank you to everyone, guests and listeners alike, who's made doing this podcast so worthwhile. Here's to the next 25 shows.
