Welcome back to the weekly Tabletop Games thread! This thread is where we can talk about all kinds of RPGs, card games, board games, etc. Whether you gather around a physical table in the real world, or use a virtual space to play with friends who may live far away from you, this is where you can discuss your favorites, ask for and/or receive recommendations, recap your recent adventures, or even find some people to play games with!

Discussion Prompt: This week’s thread is brought to you by the over-tuned encounter I ran for my group on Saturday night. Let’s say you’re running what is meant to be a medium-difficulty combat encounter in your RPG of choice, when almost before you know it, two player characters are down, and the others are fast running out of hit points. How do you pull out of a death spiral and avoid an anticlimactic TPK?

If you would like to suggest a prompt or contribute a write-up or discussion topic of your own, let me know in the comments!
