In this episode we’ll bring you back to that emotional day last summer when he walked out of the San Quentin gates, free at last. Our work in prisons is supported by the California Arts Council, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, independent foundations, and donations from listeners like you.

Episode 8! The boyz are back! All 4 Funkatronic Rex employees convene before Alex leaves for Europe. Games are played, questions are asked, debates are had. - Hobby Highlights : As employees of a game store, the irony is you don’t actually get to play many of the games you love. However this week seemed different! Micheal gets excited about the teaser of his Seraphon army for Age of Sigmar 4th edition. Court gets psyched about finally being able to play some 40K with a buddy, Ailan and chats about the Crusade campaign they are both in.

Episode 7! Getting to know the Dungeon Master, Hiroko! We are joined by our wonderful and hard working store DM, Hiroko. She leads our Dungeons & Dragons Adventurer’s League group on Tuesday nights and has set a great example for those new and experienced to the hobby. We get schooled on D&D vampiric lore, chat about Mike’s baseball player character, and the importance of a good Dungeon Master. - News : Lord of the Rings the Living Card Game! Once again we had a wonderful all day event dedicated to Court’s favorite card game. Our custom Warhammer 40K slow-grow narrative campaign, Whispers from the Deep kicked off with high energy! Thank you to all who joined us and apologies to those who didn’t get to sign up. We will keep you posted on the unfolding narrative. - Hobby Highlights: Micheal is in vacation mode, Mike’s kitbashing gets gross (link for pics below), Hiroko makes an amazing D&D prop but you might not want to check her browser history. Court finally jumps into Battletech! - On A Nat 20: Mike attempted to hit Court with cleaning the fish tank for a year. Court discusses new lore for the Nat 20 game but Micheal ain’t having it. Hiroko locks Court into joining The Curse of Strahd campaign…in a unique way. Lastly, Court becomes Mike’s doppelganger and everyone else has to dress like Court! - MAIN TOPIC: CHATTING D&D WITH HIROKO The irony is real. Four dudes running a friendly local game store but none of them play Dungeons & Dragons. Shame. Well thankfully Hiroko intrigues and educates us with not only some D&D lore but her unique story into gaming. TPKs are real but the love and passion shared by our good friend and DM squared was absolutely tangible. This was a very special episode for us and we are so grateful to Hiroko for her hard work, kindness, creativity, and support.
