    Wow, this was absolutely stunning to watch. Jason really is such a Master at what he does. Everything came together so beautifully and I really love this design for DM screens. The aluminum Wyrmwood logo was beautiful against that dark wood.

    Holy crap, you guys definitely need more content like this on the channel. This is the sort of thing I came looking for when I heard there was a Wyrmwood channel and was initially pretty disappointed.
