THIS WEEK: Tiddly and Danfinity are back from GenCon 2026 and share stories about new games they found, D&D One-Shot shenanigans, and their shared love for dice. We also discuss the latest friend slop sensation, Big Walk: do we like it? is it fun with friends? are their walkie-talkies? All this and the gaming news of the week in this episode of Need A Rez!
