  • Don't Fudge the Dice! How to Balance Encounters in Your RPGs
    Jul 7 2025

    In this episode of That RPG Podcast, we talk about how tariffs may affect tabletop gaming, share tips for game masters to balance encounters and avoid fudging the dice, build a tyrant as a BBEG, and explore the outer wilds in a Spelljammer-adjacent adventure. Freedom at your table means more than rolling the dice: learn how everything from adventure cadence, radical transparency in game mastery, and an open-door policy at the table can improve your players' enjoyment of the game.

  • Avoiding Toadtalitarianism at Your Table: Safety & Inclusion in RPGs
    Jun 1 2025

    In this episode of That RPG Podcast, we review the new Daggerheart RPG, analyze good and evil in Andor Season 1 and 2 through the lens of the OSR+ ethos system, and discuss safety tools that help foster a more inclusive environment in RPGs. Crafting a fictional moral philosophy for your characters might be hard work, but maintaining a moral standard in the real world is even harder; hopefully these tips make your life as a game master easier and give your table peace of mind.
