34:00 Free Cities Draft: We like things- A lot (Spoilers)

What up Ballers!
We are hot off the back of the brilliant Season 4 playtest day, and in this most inauspicious episode number there is the classic Roll Better ramble about various Guild Ball goings on (the Blacksmiths fluff, an ominous tweet from Sherwin, the Minerva Ltd Ed Wonder Woman mini), but the sexiest bit of this episode is that we managed to get an interview with Jamie Perkins to discuss the Faithful: New Beginnings!
This is the first time we've had an interview on the podcast so we are very excited. The interview also includes a mystery guest! Don't forget to message us at rollbetterpodcast@gmail.com or find us on our facebook page @rollbetterpodcast to comment or criticise.
