Clapcast 18: Open To Big John Sponsorships (Feb 2019)

Hey everyone! February sure came and went quickly and its a tiny baby month, so today's Clapcast and tomorrow's Tips at the Table are a little late! Whoops!

Just as a heads up, this clapcast will not have any insight into a hot grapey. I don't want everyone to keep their hot grapey hopes up for a whole hour.

Hey everyone!

Happy new year, and welcome to the Road to Season 6. Join Austin, Dre, and Janine as they play Dialect, a game by Kathryn Hymes and Hakan Seyalıoğlu and fill in some of the gaps between the end of Twilight Mirage and the beginning of what comes next in the Divine Universe. 

This one went LONG so I split it into two parts. The first part is us creating the setting (or "isolation," in Dialect's parlance) and our characters. The second is when the story kicks off...

Live at the Table Audio - BFF at SHUX Live Show (+Quick Update!)

Hey everyone! I know there are people out there who very much prefer audio over YouTube links (we are a podcast after all!), so all of the Live at the Table's we've had! Sorry for the delay with this, it slipped past me in the flurry of Content!!

Live at the Table: The Very First Episode

HI FOLKS!

Today I bring you a very special episode of Live at the Table! 

A long long time ago (before we had a Patreon!!), I did a fundraising livestream for some dental work I needed to get done! Austin, Keith and Art were kind enough to join me at the end of my 12 hour stream and we... decided to record an episode of Friends at the Table, for some reason? It was GREAT and we had FUN and now YOU can listen to us play Lasers and Feelings! 

Enjoy!...
