Some gaming nights are pure magic, while others can feel like herding cats with all the sudden breaks, interruptions, and immersion breaking habits. Join the 3RPG hosts as they discuss ideas for keeping your table both fun and orderly.

Comments:

We spent a stupid amount of time looking for the 'Snakes and Fire' PSA video mentioned in the intro, but the internet failed us. On the plus side, we now have free nightmares from seeing all the body horror they casually used in many of the other videos and commercials. (For the curious, and the vintage horror fans: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEddGK7C0IA)

Timestamps:

00:00 Intro

5:20 - Managing your table, what does that mean?

9:15 - Time boundaries
