Table Talk is not your typical D&D, TTRPG podcast — we aren't here to run you through our campaign. We're here to talk about everything else in the space of tabletop role-play gaming. Tune in to Table Talk every week, wherever you get your podcasts, for tips, tricks, and a healthy dose of rambling from your tabletop roleplay girlies.
