The Howling Salt Mine

Mischievous Dice Rolls, Shout Beats Storm, Pregame MLD | HSM 225

The Howling Salt Mine

Show Notes

Today mischievous dice rolls that could get people DQed, a spelltable opponent misunderstands and shouts through a storm win, and a pregame discussion mentions MLD in bracket 2 and yet the game is still played.

Also, Tony went to a world cup game, but Sam wouldn't let him talk about it so we talk about Sake and orange juice pulp instead. (You're welcome, everyone.)

Also whether you are a lore head or not buckle up because Sam takes us on a mini deep dive because hey, he's a lore guy now.

The ethics of scooping when you're goaded, the karma of colluding in a tournament of three player games, and a story where Sam searches for the salt. Valgavoth is best friends with Sire of Insanity, Dan Lewis is a card, and fancy icecream.
