This post explicitly talks about some late-game aspects of Risk Legacy that some people may wish to keep unspoiled.

The theme for tonight was clear:…
Rutherford B. Haze would like to say hello It’s here, it’s here! Our summer seasonal, Rutherford B. Haze, has entered the building. And the jockey box. And the beer lines. Some of it has gone into growlers, and I lost track of it after that.
Inauguration Day Next week you’ll get to meet Rutherford B. Haze, the latest in our storied lineage of beers. The period after B. is important, by the way. It provides gravitas.
