Drawn from the Undertow is part of Audio Entropy, a podcast network started partially by DftU members over a decade ago. Each year, we like to do a charity marathon stream, and now that I've started writing newsletters I (Crystal) can promote it here! Beginning tomorrow, and running all through the weekend, we're streaming for 60 hours straight to raise money for the Palestine Children's Relief fund!

During the week of December 28 - January 3, we'll be taking a small break from your regularly scheduled Threadspinner Playtest to put out a few mailbag episodes, answering your questions that you send in to [email protected]! This will be similar to the "mid-mortems" we've done for previous seasons, where each campaign reflects on the story so far and answer any questions you have. Please send as many emails as you'd like by December 1 to [email protected]!

With the core rules in a solid place, at least for now, we get to work adding some more Actions to each Pattern!
