Uncover the hidden social dynamics shaping the TTRPG community, and why cliques are quietly holding some players back. This episode dives into the often-overlooked world of online and offline groups, revealing how exclusion, favoritism, and echo chambers foster unspoken barriers, and how you can navigate or even break free from them.

Discover the subtle signs that your favorite game groups or online spaces might be more cliquey than you think. We break down real stories of players feeling shut out despite their passion, and explore how these patterns aren’t exclusive to gaming but exist across all facets of life, from parental groups to professional circles.
