JudgeCast #306 Friday and the Five Stages of Grief

We do circle back on Anger a few times. And acceptance is a bit iffy, but….
In this episode, Bryan, Charles, and Marcos talk about the most recent Judge News. In case you haven’t heard, Wizards of the Coast has cancelled their relationship with Judge Academy effectively killing the company and abandoning judges. In a substantially more candid episode than usual, we talk about the announcements from WotC, Judge Academy, and a new player on the scene, Judge Foundry. We also talk about our thoughts on what happened, why it happened, and what we think about the future.
