Welcome to Anonymous Tabletop Episode 14.

In this episode Joe pines for a missing organ, Tim actually talks about a tabletop game, and Katie asks the rest of us to liven up before we all go crazy and she immediately regrets it.

We then find out what movies the crew wants to check out this Summer, Tim and Dave try their best announcer voices with limited success, and Joe takes an impromptu nap before we coincidentally have one of our most coherant discussions ever.

And last but not least, Geeky Jean tells us where to go, two huge blobs battle a third in Celebrity Death Match, and we reach into Tim’s Sack and find it’s full of monsters. Who would have guessed?

Robert on the other hand is drinking all the coffee, so he is in a pretty goofy mood. Robert also has way to many books piling up in his reading queue. Which he could probably get through if he wasn’t playing so much Destiny. On top of this the boys Deep Dive the Tales From the Loop RPG, the new hotness from the Free League.

Welcome to Anonymous Tabletop Episode 12.

And finally, Tim reads more erotic fanfiction that brings this show to an unexpected close as technical difficulties wipe Tim’s Sack from the recording. Oops..
