  • The Full Nightbane
    2026/08/17

    Folks, it's a full Nightbane episode. That's right, if you for some reason aren't aware or haven't listened to the bonuses, Merritt frequently has Niki and John playing legally-distinct-from-Clive-Barker's-Nightbreed tabletop role-playing game Nightbane in bonus episodes.


    This full episode is just a long version of that, complete with character creation and a short campaign. Do you like how Niki and John played? Do you like Lizard Caplan and Jenna?


    Welcome to If You're Driving, Close Your Eyes, a listener-supported comedy podcast where three noble explorers chip away at the crumbling foundations of reality, five or six simultaneous topics at a time. Hosted by Niki Grayson, merritt k and John Warren, and produced by Jordan Mallory, with music by Jordan and art by Max Schwartz.
