If you’re looking for answers, this ain’t your roundtable. Instead it’s a lot of generative (unanswered) questions about who gets to be an authority, what it means to teach & evangelize for TTRPGs in different contexts, & more.

Hopefully the start of more conversations with more folks, more places.

Tune in Monday October 20th for our latest Talk of the Table Roundtable.

This conversation with @friede.bsky.social, @itsquinns.bsky.social, and @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social is all about teaching TTRPGs through actual play and finding more on-ramps into this hobby for new players.

I remember the day this was announced I serendipitously had a meeting with Elliot to catch up post Gen Con 2024. Zombies are so my thing and Elliot was so kind answering all of my questions then offering me a door 🥹 This game is heartbreaking and thoughtful and I'm proud to be a small part of it 💜

It's released today, and so we want to throw back to our playthrough of The Time We Have: A Conversation Between Brothers

In this one-shot Sam and Khalil play two brothers, one infected and one not, and their final days together.

It is a stunning game.

I had the pleasure of join in to illustrate a card for this game by @moreblueberries.bsky.social .

A perfectly ordinary, not sinister door at all! Totally normal and you should go through immediately :-)

It's a really, really beautiful deck and game and I hope you'll check it out!

THE TIME WE HAVE is a poignant, affective game that uses every element of its design to resounding success. elliot has made a real gem — it was a pleasure to be a stretch goal writer on this one

Promo image for THE TIME WE HAVE reads "Tragic zombie storytelling for ANY apocalypse". The front and backside of a card show, the door of a distressed conference room in pixel art style (illustrated by Raul Volpato) and a preview of a tech-y startup sounding email (written by Caro Asercion). Promo text in the bottom left corner reads "The Time We Have - available now"

This game is something special, one of a kind. Elliot's a brilliant designer and if you don't own this game you're missing out on an all timer!

I had the pleasure to write a door card of a magical necromancy fantasy apocalypse so play TTWH in your dnds and heartbreakers!
