Here’s What the Table’s Talking About
Everything the Many Sided Media Team Is Currently Reading
Let me tell you, reader, it’s been a busy spring! Elliot, Shenuque, Brian, and I have been working hard on a lot of cool stuff—including a pretty huge new project that we’ll be announcing very soon—so we decided to take this week to share with you all the articles, Twitter threads, YouTube videos, Kickstarter campaigns, and other newsletters we’ve been following recently.
And in turn, we’d love to hear what’s caught your eye lately! What projects are you most excited to back? What articles or posts gave grabbed your attention? Which APs have you counting down until their next episode release? Leave a comment to let us know, and we’ll see you soon with more exciting news from MSM.
P.S. Be sure to scroll to the bottom of the page to listen to The Wildsea: Episode 2 - Of Icher and Tea and Brian and Elliot’s spectacular Talk of the Table interview with Jasper William Cartwright on life after Dimension 20 and what he plans to do next.
