Description
Since 2007, the Pathfinder community has been gathering around tables all across the world to roll dice and share exciting stories about dungeons, dragons, and their many magical acquisitions. Each week, we will drill down into a different RPG-related topic that has sprung up from conversations at our tables over the years. While the vast majority of our content is specific to Pathfinder 2nd edition, we occasionally dip into other staples of the modern rpg landscape.

Send a text In this episode, we dive into the idea of "Attention as Currency"—a homebrew framework for GMs and players to better understand and manage the emotional and cognitive energy spent during TTRPG sessions.
