Category: Panda’s Talking Games

Join pandas Phil Vecchione (Misdirected Mark, Gnome Stew, Encoded Designs) and Senda Linaugh (She’s A Super Geek, Gnome Stew) every Wednesday to answer listener questions about playing, running, and designing TTRPGs. Is your game making a funny noise when you start it up? Does the story feel clunky or lag when you try to accelerate? We’ve got you covered!
