Join us for a (not so new) review of a sourcebook that was hot off the presses when we recorded, but is now probably outdated enough that you’ve already moved on to Daggerheart (like we have) as we unpack the 2024 New Player’s Handbook! This long-awaited update to Dungeons and Dragons 5e, now One DND, by Wizards of the Coast certainly made some much-needed improvements, from its layout, finally ending the debate on whether potions should be an action or bonus action, and Robert Lopez’s personal favorite, Mexican Orcs.

Woah there, it’s been a minute! In fact, it’s been long enough that theoretically, you could’ve had a baby! Join Maddi and Robert for one of our favorite Table Talk traditions, session zero, where we shoot the shit and talk about what we’ve been up to, get philosophical about why we like the TTRPG’s, how to win at roleplaying, and getting mono. Don't think too hard about that last one.

Fetch and Smoke have 2 hours left until they become fish food. They’re plan is fool-proof (or Fetch-proof, if you ask Smoke): Blow up a cell tower, ambush the convoy, get the package and deliver it safely to Codfather’s lair with absolutely NO hiccups on the way. But add a friendly neighborhood vigilante, a lot of guns and a few grenades, things look like they might be shaping up in Fetch and Smoke’s typical fashion- chaos.

Welcome back to the 14th episode of season 2 of Table Talk! It has been a while since we last uploaded for you all, and on today's episode we'll get into why. The short answer? Life. The long answer? Everything in between. Pull up a chair as we trauma dump about the last 3 months of navigating all nine layers of scheduling hell with no wish spell in hand, the ridiculous amount of one shots we've run in between, and what's to come for the rest of this poor season and a sneak peek into the exciting season 3.

Gather round the campfire and let the nectar flow for the second episode of From Our Table to Yours - Camp Half-Blood edition for our “Media to TTRPGS (shitty working title)" miniseries! Join Maddi and Robert as they adapt the bestselling Percy Jackson by Rick Riordian series into playable mechanics in 5e, where your Godly parent determines your class, from the spellcasting abilities of children of the Big Three to the fighting capabilities of children of Athena to Ares. Led by one co-host who’s a longtime reader of the books and another who has only seen the movies (and loved them), be assured we totally know what were doing. Just ignore the 20 minute long debate we have on how to actually kill Percy Jackson.

Welcome back to another episode of Table Talk! Join Robert and Madi for the newest installment on a reoccurring segment, From our Table to Yours, where they kick off their first of many "Media to TTRPGS (shitty working title)" where they turn their favorite media from books to video games into a bare bones TTRP system. Today's session is all about The Last of Us, a gritty and dark post apocalyptic United States post-fungal-zombie-outbreak where anything that can go wrong...absolutely will 100% of the time. Using the lore from the award winning video game series The Last of Us by Naughty Dog and the incredibly popular MAX live-action adaptation, our intrepid hosts create a brand new hybrid system mixing mechanics, gameplay, and character creation from 5E AND Kids on Bikes. From replacing hit points with three hits total to assigning benefits of being from the cannibal club, listen in for a fungus filled session to help you fill your players with an inescapable feeling of certain death! But ask for consent before traumatizing them! Just good manners.
