Episode 32 is here for Running The Table! Today we discuss something very important in Table Top RPGs through three different stories: Setting The Tone. Each of these stories includes some variations in why players and game-runners (GMs, DMs, Storytellers, etc) need to discuss their goals and how they want to set the tone of the stories they are telling. This includes some good, some bad, and some lessons! Next episode we will be diving a bit deeper into the how of this topic.

On Episode 30 of Running The Table, we're going to be reading through and discussing one of my all-time favorite D&D stories: The All Barbarian party! This story of hilarity and heroism may be well known, but it can still teach us a lot about roleplaying and rolling with the punches as a DM or GM.

Hello and welcome to Running The Table, a TTRPG discussion podcast! This episode we're experimenting a little bit - I have received a few requests to discuss some of the basic rules of some games and how to effectively leverage them. In light of those requests, today I'll be covering statistics - those things that govern how capable of certain things characters are. We'll also be going over how you can leverage these statistics for immersion of all things!
