Two worlds, two shows, two casts - one ridiculous tale! We joined forces with our good friends at StoryQuest to perform “Crossover Chaos: A Rootin-Tootin’ Turbocharged Adventure” live at The Elysian Vault in Los Angeles back in March. When a Weird West posse and a cyberpunk hacker gang (and their nano-grandma) are smashed together into the same story, anything goes! Is that enough of an interesting premise to justify these two casts of friends laughing a bunch on stage together - and save one fairy’s job??-- links --Website: wanderingpathpod.comSupport our show: patreon.com/wanderingpathpod-- sponsors --- Mage Hand Press, whose fantastic D&D expansions Valda’s Spire of Secrets and Dark Matter are available now at their website, MageHandPress.com- Cantrip Candles, 100% soy wax candles designed to enhance your tabletop game through the magic of scents.

It’s an absolutely jam-packed detour this week! SO much has happened since our last one. First off, we had to gush about our amazing experiences performing live at Comic-Con, and marvel at just how those prequel elements weave into our main story. And then we’ll dive deeper in with some bigger questions: Does Fran actually take caution from the cautionary tales in front of her? What are all those Constellation-sonas up to when Ibra’s too busy with their own moop? What’s the endgame for Gordon’s slime mold friend? How does playing conflict, romance, selfishness and strife work, exactly? And finally, we’ll get through the backlog of listener questions we’ve been letting pile up over the past couple of months.-- links --Website: wanderingpathpod.comSupport our show: patreon.com/wanderingpathpod-- sponsors --- Tab for a Cause: Raise money while browsing the internet!

Welcome back to the Detour! This week we can’t stop talking about how much fun we had at our live show at WonderCon 2025, playing new characters and interacting with fans! The callouts, the submitted skate-trick names, the will-they-won’t-they between all of our Junior Skate Champs… truly an experience we will never forget. Once we settle down from that, we get into the conclusion of the abandoned factory quest, where that leads our characters for the next arc, and what the hell the players think it all means so far.
