Campaign 2 promotional poster unveiled

 * Brian shows a teaser photo of the cast in their costumes for the first Campaign 2 title sequence, which look like they're from the late 1970s. They linger on Matt's large retro glasses.
 * Matt has some middle school photos like that "the world will never see." Laura thinks they looked like they were in a cult.

Quotations
Sam: Matt doesn't want to reveal anything that might come into play in the next campaign. Matt: There are some great DM's Guild things I am working on in the future around that so I don't want to spoil anything. Brian: Yeah. How do you think I got this job?
 * Liam: Does Sylas Briarwood even take a shit?
 * Matt: Let me tell you, making allies with demons always turns out well.
 * Matt: I'm not trying to be like, "the world sucks out there so come to our place where everything's great!" I'm like, the world there sucks. Come to this world where some things do suck but people are standing up and making a difference. People are trying to actively make the sacrifices that are necessary and stand up and be heroes in the face of injustice and probable loss because somebody needs to... The good stories come from people that are frustrated with the world and want to make a difference and the only way they can is with a pen and pencil.
