Looking forward to watching this ... Still says "this video is private" in patreon

Yeah was just about to say the same thing. Should we be able to watch it here? I remember doing that with the last one.

Link Barony

It's working now, thanks.

Shocked "shenanigans" was never mentioned. Didn't know it was undone by so many other things. Great video. Can't wait for the next one.

Yes! Has there ever been any better deck to capture the unfathomable possibilities of magic? It truly is impossible, and absurd. Thanks a heap Sam. I knew I needed this essay my life the second the notification hit my retinas. Many thanks.
