Declassified Episode 11 – Convention Prep (2018)

  By , , , , ,

It’s Convention Season, and this month’s TransMissions Declassified has Darryl, Yoshi, and Jeremy going over everything you ever wanted to know to get ready to attend one.

If you enjoyed this and want to hear our other Declassified episodes and our other benefits of supporting… Continue reading
