Welcome to Anonymous Tabletop Episode 44.

In this shoot from the hip episode we find ourselves still isolated and once again have to Skype in the Crew, Patrick misplaces his moose hat when he sits in for a sick Tim, and Lathan buys some new toys to go with his brand new 3-D printing podcast.

Then, we discuss the perils of pre-ordering the new 40k, Katie turns up the volume on Pat when we talk podcast merchandising, and we prove that you get what you pay for when it comes to the quality of our show.

And finally, Katie starts a virtual garage sale to sell Dave’s stuff, we revisit Star Wars Mad Libs to see if the sequel proves worthy of the original, and we outsource Patrick’s job to Lathan when he finds it too hard to dig into Tim’s Sack. I don’t blame you Patrick, that thing makes me sick just thinking of it…

Welcome to Anonymous Tabletop Episode 43.

In this tech issue filled episode we still manage to maintain our social distance as we Skype in the Crew, Lathan prints up the perfect mascot for 2020 so far, and we dedicate this recording to a very special little boy.

Then, we discuss different ways to keep track of our listeners, talk chewing gum and questionable children’s toys, and Lathan heads down the rabbit hole yet again when he goes on about his 3D printing.

And finally, Tim tests out his improv chops when he’s put on the spot for an impromptu Tim’s Sack. I’ll give you one guess how that turns out. I bet it’s printworthy..
