  • An RPG Adventure Hook... In Space!
    2025/07/14

    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.
