Episode 284 - LVO & The 2026 HPC Prize Drawing

Episode 284 is a little later than planned, but it's packed with content worth the wait.

Adan and Carl kick things off with a recap of Adan's trip to the 2026 Las Vegas Open, where he and his fellow Ork warbosses brought the propa krumpin' to the tabletop. By the end of the conversation, Carl may just find himself convinced to make the trip next year.

Next, the show sits down with Todd Kinkade, one of the founders of Tablewar, to talk about their generous support of The Independent Characters Hobby Progress Challenge and the work being done through Tablewar Charities.

That conversation leads right into a recording of the live HPC 2026 Prize Giveaway, as Carl and Chelle hand out prizes to the lucky winners of this year's challenge and unveil the HPC 2027, complete with a fresh slate of bonus point opportunities to chase.

Las Vegas stories, a great partner, and prizes galore. We hope you enjoy Episode 284!
