In Episode 97 of Playin’ and Slayin’, Ty and Troy settle in for a cozy, late-year catch-up: games played, hobby progress, Kickstarters backed, and a little Adepticon/DepthCon narrative plotting. They also expand the library segment into a mini year-end reading chat, talking Malazan, Primal Hunter, Critical Role’s Mighty Nein animated series, and more of their favorite books and media from the year.

There is also a video version of the podcast: https://youtu.be/A_gxT7qQejQ
