Lessons from an Insane Dentist

Learning in a Post-Apocalyptic Vault

In an undisclosed location in Europe, we escaped from a post-apocalyptic vault and saved humanity (you’re welcome!) Even though the booking software for the company said that there was a minimum of three people needed for the room, we still signed up for it, hoping they’d let us play with two people when we got...Read More
