  1. Nice to see you back! I hope things have calmed down for you. I’ve been really missing the podcast.

    The fish minis are pretty cool, I have to say. You might have just made me buy my own set with that picture there. I’m intrigued: did you create your own rules for the various fish, or are they pulled out of one of the books I don’t have?
