This is the final episode of Project Bestiary. It has been so much fun working on this podcast over the last several months, and I appreciate the support of everyone who listened to it. Unfortunately, I need to make more time for myself to work on my games and spend time with my family, so I've made the difficult choice to cancel Project Bestiary.
