We wanted to apologize for the dip in audio quality on this episode. We somehow lost our microphone audio files and resorted to cleaning up the audio from one of the cameras. While it could've been worse, we understand that you may be used to better...

Welcome to Episode #22 of Adonalsium-Will-Remember-Our-Podcast-Eventually, AWROPE for short! Brotherwise Games sent us the Mistborn RPG rules early and we were SO excited to dig in!

We apologize for the audio and video issues, it seems that this episode was cursed!

Today, we're sending Mistborn Era 1 off with our discussion of Hero of Ages, the third and final entry of the trilogy! This one is a real doozy, full of emotions and, of course, bad jokes. We had a blast recording it!
We've updated the format of our discussions a bit, condensing the POVs in each part, which causes us to talk about general events in the book a little out of order, but we think it allows us to take a broader look at each story beat...
