Summary

Strap in folks! This week, Jeremy, Jasper and Candace the Magnificent address the effect that the US's tariff hike now has on the TTRPG industry, and then - on a lighter note - how to run horror games in a way that fulfils your players. If you're a small TTRPG-related business owner who's been affected by the tariff hike, and want to talk to us about it to give us a better insight into what's happening, please get in touch at producer@tbhalflings.com. Speaking of horror...
