1594I know I'M still pretty new as a DM. but I'm honestly surprised to see so many verbally dumping on Spez TBH. We all live the damned if you do and damned if you don't part of handling reddit but we don't seem to be giving the same courtesy we'd expect.

1684mannoslimmin
1685@x_minus_one no. CTRs american volunteers were unpaid. They paid foreigners because they didn't believe americans deserved jobs. My CTR cheques were awesome
1686norsefenrir 4
1687Issue is you can't prove that it was a one-time joke though. We have no idea if it's been done before, or if it'll be done again or whatever.
