This week, Adam and Tiana talk about upcoming plans in the ongoing Westgate Patron game, where the party is about to start building political alliances within the city. We use that as a springboard to talk about how to set up those sorts of situations for your players, and ways that players can engage within the situations.

This week, Adam and Tiana are feeling TOTALLY NORMAL, NOTHING TO DISCUSS HERE, and talk about what a despot looks like. Dictators and despots can be incredibly intricate TTRPG villains, usable in a number of circumstances ranging from mustache-twirling to "doing the wrong thing for the right reasons."

This week, Adam and Tiana take a tool from politics and political coverage to talk about the best predictors for the survival of a TTRPG table. Because while we do our best to stay away from national politics, we do agree that there are politics inherent in table dynamics, and we want to give our listeners every chance to stack the deck in their favor.
