This week, David Lee sits down with Rayne Grimm of ‪@FennecFables‬ to talk Pokémon Tabletop United, traps, environmental storytelling, and... sigh Monster loving in TTRPGs. Kay returns part way through the episode to dive into playing the game together, tension and timing in horror games, and more!
