This episode was recorded before C.A. Suleiman was accused of serial sexual assault and sexual harassment. Darker Days does not condone the guest's actions and they will not be invited to return. This episode is left here for posterity.

But before they get started there's plenty of Onyx Path discussion, shout outs to the listeners, and an update regarding Forgotten Lore #4. First the group tackles the storytelling elements and setting that Colin developed for Mummy the Curse, including a few player spoilers, so watch out! Next they discuss the hanging dolls of Isla de las Muñecas in the Secret Frequency. Finally, the hosts discuss Mummy's fine art with Sam, and learn a bit about gaming in Paraguay along the way.
