This is the first of many bonus episodes. Bonus episodes will be in addition to our standard weekly episodes. Many bonus episodes will be on topics that we hope you DON'T need help with or have to listen to as they will address several problematic situations and in some cases some mature content. But us being new on the scene and this being our first bonus episode, the subject is very simply just the 3 of us GMs talking about ourselves and describing some of our experience.
