We felt like we did a bad job with this topic last time so we decided to give it another shot. Do you think we did better?

In the long awaited full-spoiler followup to our fan favorite Crown of Candy episode we were graced by K (@ck.cosplay on tiktok) who helped provide both inside and an authentic crown of candy feel to this new OC!

"this podcast is one of my favorite story games"
