Welcome to the Saving Throes podcast! This is my Tabletop role-playing game podcast, part of the Red Rooster's Gaming Coop network where I talk gaming and gaming culture every week. Each episode will feature a topic or theme along with my take on current happenings in the world of tabletop role-playing games and semi regular updates on the games I am currently involved with, or new games or products I have come across.

This week's episode was inspired by a recent video from Seth Skorkowsky on YouTube. Table rules are something that every table should have. This isn't the same thing as a session zero, but more like ground rules for play at your table. These "rules" are not system dependant, scenario reliant or in any way tied to a specific game. They are truly just a set of expectations and common sense rules you would like observed at the table. It sounds easy enough, but I am willing to bet many of you out there have had someone run afoul of one or more of these proposed table rules I am talking about. To be honest, my own table rules arent codified or anything, most typically act as unspoken and unwritten rules that my players just seem to know (at least I think they do!) Tune in to hear what these rules are and if and what the exceptions are.
