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.

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!
