About This Podcast
Above Table is a podcast for Dungeons and Dragons homebrew and indie supplements. Each week your hosts Phil and Josh will pick a theme and explore all the amazing homebrew content around it. Want to play a Bard that isn't a schmoozing singer? Got an idea for a Nigella Lawson inspired Warforged? Tasha's Cauldron of Everything running dry? We got you covered! Every Wednesday, Above Table shines a light on all the different ways to play the world's greatest roleplaying game. If you're new player, working on your 100th character or a DM for life, get inspiration for your next game each week with Above Table. If you're curious about the creators behind some of our favourite projects we've got A Short Rest, lovely chats with lovely ttrpg creators, which is released on Sundays.
