We were just kidding about the Season 1 Episode Guide being the only update this fortnight! We were in no way coerced by WGPRN's new benevolent tyrant Vince into putting out another episode.

The real meat of this episode is a review of World of Darkness: Midnight Roads, a sourcebook for stories on the road, with story hooks for mortals and supernatural splats alike.
