GM: the voice of the Escape Vector Podcast

Casper Cloudshot (Magician) is played by Trevor Brookes
Bek Fallows (Sellsword) is played by Kaitlyn Meloche Ratz

Kaitlyn and Dakota are 2/3 of the Came To Play podcast, often about indie and cult favourite video games. Trevor Brookes is a recurring guest. They are so much fun! I love every episode.
