In this episode of TableTalk Friday, we pull three real D&D Reddit threads and give our best advice on each one. From a DM who never roleplays and lets players cheat, to a party so afraid of danger that they “call the guards” instead of facing encounters, to a GM struggling to run sessions when a player only has a tablet and phone—we break down the problems and offer solutions you can use in your own games. Whether you’re a DM or a player, you’ll find tips, laughs, and lessons you can take to the table.
