Somewhere along the way, Will promised I'd share links to games I made at DigiPen and probably one or two other things I've forgotten about. Those will show up at Patreon.com/waystonepod for all the world to see.

A quick programming note: We've had a lot of stressors pop up at us lately and our buffer isn't as big as I'd have liked, so we're going to stick with an every-other week schedule going into our coverage of The Wise Man's Fear (which starts in two weeks!) until I have a comfortable lead-time for editing.

We determined that course of action by running a twitter poll - if you'd like more involvement with this kind of decision, check us out @waystonepod on Twitter.
