    We figured this show was getting too easy to make. Why not do two shows at the same time? Chris Whitpan head of tabletop for PAX/ReedPop, and Ryan Hartman VP of Penny Arcade are here to share invaluable wisdom about conventions and how they work. Back to back, you say? Nah. Still too easy. Let's splice them in and out of each other. This is either a contender for the next Poddies (made up) or a trainwreck. Maybe it's both.

    Every game needs a Yugioh-style dueling contraption for your arm so you can game on the go. Gloomhaven would double as a workout.

    It's a board game edition of Family Feud! Tom shaved his head and grew a caterpillar mustache just so the audio would sound aerodynamic. Listen as our poor host inevitably has to explain the rules multiple times as we blunder through.
