More Complaining, Plus Some Pioneer Content

It's another week and that means another #wotcgaffe. The boys air their greivances about WotC's mistreatment of Carmen Handy and even have enough time to chastise SCG for loosening their covid restrictions. If you want to get straight to the Pioneer content, I suppose you skip to the 35 minute mark, but why would you?
