In the final part of these sessions, myself and the fantastic Sean Overton (ShadowOpal) (along with a special guest) discuss some of the community's perceived issues with the Through the Breach game system and offer insights into how we have worked around or even leaned into these issues to find enjoyment.

This time we look into comments on how to run games as Fatemasters, the Destiny system and how to introduce it in-flight, online resources and more!
