i've been enjoying seeing people's snowflake_challenge posts and i actually have stuff i wanna post for this day!

friends at the table is an actual play table top rpg podcast about critical worldbuilding, smart characterisation and fun interaction between good friends AND IT'S GREAT. i wrote a manifesto, pls read it and listen to the podcast (or check out their episode transcripts, which are currently incomplete but the work is ongoing).

here is a snippet where they talk about a main character from their COUNTER/weight arc, ibex, whom i love.

i love austin walker with my whole entire heart. speaking of, here is a soundboard somebody made with thirty Things He Has Said, including, in tones of delight, "who's that big man?" and his classic heartfelt "aw, buddy". even if you have no idea who this man is, it will delight you.

do you like critical world building, smart characterisation and fun interactions between good friends? do you want more quality tabletop rpg podcasts to listen to? do you like any of the following: d&d fantasy tropes turned sideways, character names like Public Person and Grand Magnificent, consistently stunning and gorgeous musical accompaniment, space cyberpunk that fully commits to the anticapitalism and takes it to its most horrifying conclusion, visions of a utopian future with weird space magic and explorations of faith, characters of colour everywhere and never as an afterthought or textual queerness in not just characters and relationships but inherent in the very storytelling itself? my friends, you should listen to friends at the table.
