Clapcast 06: On Dogs and Bullfrogs

A juicy clapcast coming in fresh! This one's a long one and next month's is going to be........... The Teased Long Talk.

Heads up, there's talk of some uhhh...,, murder/dismemberment talk from minute sixteen to eighteen. Nothing graphic or anything like that, but for anyone who listens to this particular Friends at the Table media output when they don't want to hear about murder.

Hello 2018!!!

Hey everyone, Ali here! I just wanted to give an update now that we're all entering 2018 together: a perfect time to reflect and look forward! 

Time is so weird. It's hard to know whether it's more surprising that we've only been doing this for five months or that we've been doing for five months already. "Well, if we make money off this one day" was a joke for so long and a pipe dream for even longer that now that it's happening it's like, oh, right. We'd talked about i...

Clapcast 05: Pistachio Armor

Hey everyone! Here's another Clapcast comin in for you, hot and ready! There's claps! There's jokes! There's bits! And they're all here, for you, our supporters!! 

While I have everyone here, let me say three things really quick:

Live at the Table TONIGHT!

Hey everyone! 

So, let me start by being straight with you: the end of the year is a bad, busy time for everyone, especially everyone who makes this show. Between holidays, traveling, big end of the year stuff like GOTY and finals AND our holiday special, its just a lot! 

Because of this, we've made the decision not to do a poll for November and December's Live at the Table. We would never want to skip a month on any patreon shows, but not having control over the games that we ...

My mom has this saying. She says that if you want to get something solved, you go to the detectives. If you want to get something sorted, you do it yourself. And she’s a detective so I spent a lot of time thinking that my options were one or the other but then our basement started getting haunted and I didn’t know what to do.   Mom didn’t believe me.
