DTCB - Read Through Development

The script’s perfect! Of course it is. Why would it not be? It’s the best version of it there’s been. Until you reach the Read Through session, that is.

It’s far from perfect. Pass the binoculars…we’ve some distance yet to go.

Review: James IV - Queen Of The Fight

“I don’t know anything about this history”
