2025 Summer of Plunder Commander Roundtable – Blood & Pigment Podcast Special Episodes 23 is Live!

It’s a little late, but we got the big post-Summer of Plunder episode recorded with all/most of the volunteer commanders for each national team in the campaign. This took a while to get scheduled, and even longer to edit, but it’s here!

Blood & Pigment Podcast Episode 23

We have a cast of 10+ on this episode, but it moves along pretty quickly! Each commander gets a moment to share how the campaign went for their team, how they strategized, communicated, awarded prizes, and had fun together over the course of this year’s Summer of Plunder campaign. Then near the end we opened it up for questions/accusations and general back and forth before chatting a bit about possible changes to the campaign for 2026
