Transcript

Mages. The assembly. Which way? Best that rank. Best, Zadeh. So Yasha is our big barbarian lady. And coming back to Yasha after, you know, over two year campaign and being able to put a show together and sort of rewrite a little bit of Yasha's tier. It was great. And it's been absolutely awesome to be back in the room with the greatest people and to get another go at another campaign, and an animated series that I am so proud of. We all are so proud of it, and it's been so fun. And I just yeah. It's the best.
