Greetings Avatars,

Release 45’s Postmortem Mini-Telethon is going to be Oktoberfest themed in honor of our new Munich, Germany based publishing partners – [http://www.traviangames.com/ Travian Games]! They will be helping us kick off the livestream. As we [https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/?p=75617 announced last month], they are partnering with us to bring Shroud of the Avatar to other regions around the world. Travian Games is lucky enough to be headquartered where [http://www.oktoberfest.de/en/ THE Oktoberfest] happens every year in September, hence our choice of the theme.

This latest telethon continues our new monthly Postmortem Mini-Telethon format, as announced for [https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/?p=75252 Release 44] last month. See below for the details!
