OUR NOVEMBER SCHEDULE

Our livestreams are on pause for the moment due to work scheduling. We will let you all know as soon as we can get back to it--we love spending Monday nights with everyone o YouTube! In the meantime, here's what we've got cooking in November:

• November 1: ASOS, Tyrion II
• November 8: ASOS, Arya I-III
• November 15: ASOS, Catelyn II
• November 22: ASOS, Jon II
• November 23: Patreon Episode #41 release for all $5+ patrons. Following up on Catelyn II, we're digging deep into the fiasco at the Fords and debating who was at fault. Was it Robb (Jeff's take) or Edmure (Emmett's take)? Only one of us can be right, at most!
• November 29: ASOS, Sansa II
• November 30: Fevre Dream, Chapter 23 for all $5+ patrons
