NOTE:

This Draft was produced as part of a larger project that never ended up coming to fruition. Producer Ryan Verrill took the time to pain-stakingly remove all references to that project so that this Draft could finally be released to the public. As such, there are moments when it is apparent that something has been cut out. But do not fret! All picks, gameplay, and movie discussion remain fully intact. We are pleased to finally be able to present this Draft, and we hope you enjoy it!
