Goodbye My Friends Ep 265

jeudi 29 février 2024Duration 02:24

Ladies and Gentlemen, people of all genders, and gifted woodland animals, this is Ben Riggs, Brad Davies, and Sarah Babe coming to you with a very special message.

Since starting Plot Points in September 2013, we have put out 264 episodes. Today, we announce that Plot Points is going dark.

Running this podcast has been a tremendously fulfilling experience, and we can only hope that our listeners have gotten as much enjoyment from it as we have. 

We’ll maintain our email (plotpointsemail@gmail.com), Twitter (@PlotPointsPod), and keep the archive of the show open.   

Remember, you can still find more of our work out in the interwebs. Both Brad and Sarah are part of Theatre of the Mind Players. You can find still more Sarah on Encounter Party and Romancing the Game. Buy Ben's book, SLAYING THE DRAGON anywhere books are sold.  and Reading the Dungeon Master's Guide Aloud will doubtless find a home somewhere. 

Thanks to our endlessly generous patrons, our loyal listeners, and the TTRPG community that welcomed us with open arms.

For the last time for the foreseeable future, we are Ben Riggs, Brad Davies, Sarah Babe, and the always wonderful Producer Chris. 

-Brad, Sarah, Chris & Ben
