Titterpigs – The TTRPG PodcastEp. 16 - Player Etiquette and ConductShow us on the GM screen where the players hurt you! :-P

It is something that is not discussed as much as the Game Master's responsibility at the table and it is something that is quite often overlooked or excused when it comes to their faux pas. We feel that just isn't right and have come to bring to your attention some of those issues and what you can do to be a...

After doing a little catch up, we touch briefly upon the playtest, but focus more so on the potential boons and banes of there direction we think OneDnD may be going and postulate on how it could affect the hobby overall.
