JudgeCast #58 – Missed Triggers in Little China

Okay. You people sit tight, hold the fort and keep the home fires burning. And if we’re not back by dawn… call the president.

On this episode we have special guest L3 James Bennett on to discuss the new (super new) IPG! We talk triggers (Everyone loves triggers!), the other policy changes (We should rename a past episode due to some of these changes), and the newest MTR. Also for some reasons we make a lot of references from Big Trouble in Little China!

And of course we read all the e-mails from listeners just like you.

 

Here is a list of all the many and varied articles about the new IPG:
