This week we delve further into the Dark Forest, in this second, and concluding chapter of our Trophy Dark playthrough. Will we all survive this game that is explicitly about doomed explorers? I think our chances are pretty good!

The tower rises above the world, and tumbles down as man's hubris clashes with the Divine Ego. The city of a thousand tongues languishes as people strive to live with the celestial gifts. Throneseekers ascend the tower, searching out the profanely sacred places, looking for glory, looking for peace. SPECIAL GUEST GM Caleb Wimble!
