In this crossover episode, the hosts dive into an exclusive first look and live playtest of Weaver—a brand-new, original tabletop card game designed for 1 to 4 players. Inspired by the immersive storytelling of Dungeons & Dragons, Weaver eliminates bloated character sheets, complex math, and long setup times in favor of sleek, fast-paced deck-building mechanics.

Whether you are a veteran TTRPG player or new to tabletop gaming, discover how Weaver blends collaborative storytelling, strategic board control, and fast dungeon crawling into a single 30-to-40-minute card game experience.

Weather forecast banter and storm chaos. Fallen palm tree nearly crushing a parked Jeep. Bad experiences with gym bros, ego lifting, and sled pushes. Knowing when it’s okay to walk away. Obsessing over board game YouTube channels. Communist Monopoly and assassinating Julius Caesar on a game board. Making CandyLand painfully unplayable. Reimagining the Game of Life. October horror movie round-up. Watching Other Mommy in theaters and the kitchen-sink horror trope. The terrifying Taiwanese found-footage film Incantation. Hell House LLC and Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum. Five Nights at Freddy's vs. Willy's Wonderland. Spooky season vibes.

Back from being sick. Wonka AI competition show on Netflix. Selling a loved ones voice to AI feels so wrong and it puts a dark cloud over a show that should be just joy. Maker Faire Bay Area 2026. So much to look at it was overwhelming. Walking robots, giant GameBoys, Burning Man flaming octopus cars. Getting sooo sick and dealing with the airport is a horrible experience. Getting older, getting sicker more often. Need to start taking a cocktail of vitamins and just everything. Animals that should be AI but are real. Terrifying spider with a carved crown.
