Dice Ex Machina
Dice Ex Machina is a new series on Saving Throw that involves everyone from The Broken Pact, with Riley Silverman taking the reigns as the GM, Gaurav Gulati taking a producer role behind-the-scenes, Ashlen Rose and Jordan Pridgen staying on as players, Reuben Bresler joining the players as well, and the addition of Danielle Radford to the cast as a player. Dice Ex Machina is also a mix of Magic the Gathering and D&D, this time delving into the Greek mythology-inspired Theros setting. While there may be some easter eggs from The Broken Pact present, these are two separate campaigns that don't require previous knowledge of each other.
