Just discovered your podcast, and I'm here starting at the beginning. Fantastic! Thanks for sharing your sessions. We just got started playing 6th edition, and it's great to hear some sessions to get us prepared. (Also, January 24, 1924 was a Thursday, but who's counting?)

Glad to hear it, and thanks for listening. Hope you enjoy the rest of the Scenario, the Campaign, and ... well ... all of our other adventures.

The music is the 8th movement ("Catacombs") of M. Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pictures_at_an_Exhibition).
