Hey, this tournament was pretty much the model for how a Discord tournament should be run. This, pretty much exactly. There were some definite problems with the set, which I'll try and post about later today in the discussion forum, but in terms of logistics this tournament was a model of how to ru...

My goal is to cover all major eras and genres from early games to the modern day, and I plan for every packet to have content from each era and genre.

For those of you who care about such things, HSNCT podcast editing is nearly (83.3%) done, and with any luck things should be on their way to Jonah mid-to-late next week at the latest--to hopefully be posted soon after.
