The Hijinkscrew is deep in the belly of the beast this week. Deeper and more bellyish than ever before! Having infiltrated the Temple of the Howling Hatred, they have finally achieved what they set out to do fifty episodes ago - find Alton's parents. Well, parent. To say there are dangers lurking around every corner is an understatement. Remember, belly, beast.
Also on this week's episode: Alton enjoys some father-son time; Hunter has a bad idea; Fulgrim has a good idea; and Ian has some serious issues with Bangarangsplaining.

What do you get if you take Conan the Barbarian, Dune and Mad Max, and throw them all together in a D&D themed blender? You get Dark Sun! On this week's mini-episode, DM Tom leads the Hijinkscrew through a discussion on why Dark Sun is his favorite setting, even though he hasn't really had a chance to play much of it. But how can you not love a setting that's got despotic mad sorcerer kings, a unique take on magic, and super gross insect people?!

Ding! What's that sound? Is it the sound of the party hitting level 7? Well yes, technically it is. But it's also the sound of them hitting level 8 because that last adventure was so friggin' long and this damn campaign has to end sometime!
The gang is all here on this week's episode to talk about their shiny new toys and abilities that they earned for all their hard work and murder. There are new spells and hit points to increase, ability scores to improve, and some first class back pedaling from Jordan, who admits he was wrong about multi-classing, but somehow it's still Aaron's fault.

Be sure to tune in for the half thoughts and false promises ASAP!

The party continues their desperate climb to freedom this week, but come face to face with the true power of the Circle of the Scarlet Moon.

Things are going just great for the party this week. I mean, at least they're out of their prison cells now.

*SPOILER ALERT!*
It's a departure from our regular D&D yammering this week because we're talking all things Logan. You may have heard of it. It's the harrowing tale of a man with knives for hands who discovers he's a father and must take a roadtrip with his old school principal. Pretty standard stuff.
But seriously, we're going to spoil everything about Logan on this episode. So if you haven't seen it yet, feel free to toss this one on the back burner until you can check it out. We also devote a few minutes to bash on the older, much worse Xmen movies and hear about why Centurion is the greatest comic book character from Stephen.
