Also, the amount of love shown in this thread to our little podcast is incredible. It still feels weird to me occasionally that a thing I do with friends for fun is a thing that real people actually listen to and enjoy. But it is the BEST! This "little" podcast (as you call it) took over a huge part of my life. For the first time since Lord of the Rings came to the cinemas I bought merchandise for anything I liked. And I found a community on this forum that is in some parts as geeky as I am, a thing I missed with my closest friends. I share a huge junk of interests with them but RPG is not one of them. And the story is immersive and the characters are well made and acted. Also RQG gaming has very often made a bad day a lot better for me being hilarious. So for me it is not a "little podcast" but as cherised a some of my favourite books, like Terry Pratchett and Lord of the Rings (which I all habe read for several times, just as I listened to most of the episodes more once). I just hope all of you will just keep the episodes coming for a long time. For all that it gets a bad rap at times, the "Interwebz" phenomenon of building nerdy and fun communities over obsessions with silly things has made such a difference in the lives of people who may not have close friends they can spend time with on a subject. I admit that while I am now in a far better emotional and physical place, it was such fan bases and obsessions that helped get me through a seriously abusive childhood where online gaming was able to give me an out. I'm so glad that this "thing you do with friends for fun" is able to reach and bring joy to others @brave_Sir_Robin ... you're all doing good work. Even Alex. And we respect his craft.

I have been on the other side of this many times as a random geek making friends in some small nerdy corner of the internet. It's great that RQ is doing the same, and I'm really glad I get to chat to you all about it. The weird thing is I'm also a big fan of the podcast. I have a ton of merch too, and I'm a patreon supporter. Geek pride!
