What could possibly go wrong in a place where nobody can die? We're answering just such a question courtesy of patron DiploRaptor in the first episode of this two-part series where Death has loosened its grip on a single city! Rob brings the fun, Courtney brings the horror, and a very sleep-deprived Daniel brings...the gnomes. And tales of Disney employment. And questionable financial advice related to Peeps Pepsi. Daniel, please get more sleep.
