Welcome back from Winter Break! I was busy while we revisited some classic adventures, and went off and had a brand new one. On this edition, we preview Minimal California, a pared down adventure with a purpose, a destination, and... would you believe things that went awry?

I should have shownotes but I'm still on winter break mode... it's a good episode and you should listen to it!
