I too greatly enjoy your show but it annoys my wife as I keep answering in the dragon's voice for 24 hours after watching one.

Very cool dungeon and I really like the dragon mini, I've been after one that doesn't take up too much space

@Kikuchiyo Thank you! I'm assuming you're talking about wanting dungeon tiles that don't take up too much space (as opposed to wanting a compact dragon miniature- though I certainly understand if someone wants dragons of all sizes).

The hex tiles I used measure just under 6" (around 15cm) on a side, 11 3/4" or around 29.5cm across from corner to corner. They're about 1cm or 3/8" thick, so they're pretty easy to stack and find space for. They also double as a trivet (I had to look that word up) for putting teapots or flower pots on to protect your table, so there you go!

I have just found your shows and quite enjoy them.  I am probably in the minority as I have hearing loss from my army service which makes certain voices unintelligible even with hearing aids when there is background noise.  Unfortunately, your decision to overlay the soft voice with music means I have to watch with volume off and the not very good subtitles on.  I have the same problem with many TV shows. 

That said - keep producing them (ideally without the unecessary music) as I find your programmes very interesting and useful.

@Kikuchiyo - My mistake! And of course, who wouldn't want a small dragon! The one featured in the latest video is this one (not sure if it's available direct from Reaper in all markets): https://www.reapermini.com/miniatures/figurefinder+plastic/latest/07131

@dadlamassu - Thanks for watching and for the feedback! While I don't think I'll get rid of all of the music entirely as I think it adds to the character of the show, I'll try to boost the vocals and lower the volume of the music or find another solution for the muddy vocals (talk clearer or record when my kids aren't asleep both come to mind- not sure if I'll be able to). All that said I do want it to be accessible to anyone who wants to see it so I will definitely try to make it better in the future- thanks!
