Episode 11 - The Vagabond Meta - We're declaring the first week of May as VAGABOND WEEK! And no discussion of the Vagabond is complete without exploring the massive meta of the Woodland's most-feared faction. As a special treat, we're joined by two wonderfully knowledgeable guests - Matt Martens and Hunter Donaldson from Space Cats Peace Turtles - the unofficial podcast about Twilight Imperium (and Root sometimes!). This expanded crew tackles the table talk, the crafting conundrums, and how to beat the meta at its own game.
