Episode notes
Episode 1 - Welcome to Yharnam
Join the table at The Games & Gather Podcast. No scripts. No actors. Just five friends navigating the highs and lows of TTRPGs together. Whether we're laughing through a botched stealth roll or making a heart-wrenching sacrifice to save the party, you hear it all exactly as it happens.
In this session, GM Garrett has 4 unlikely hunters awaken in a mysterious house under unknown circumstances. Now the 4 strangers must leave the house and get ready for the hunt... Expect epic roleplay, tactical combat, and choices that carry real consequences. This isn't a show performed for you—it's a home game opened up for all!

About The Games & Gather Podcast:
Stories where every decision matters. That's the foundation of The Games & Gather Podcast.
Five friends. One table. Unscripted TTRPG gameplay where role-play drives the adventure and consequences stick. You won't find rehearsed lines or polished performances here, just real gameplay, heartfelt moments, and the kind of epic storytelling that comes from putting your trust in the dice and each other.
While D&D is our anchor, we explore everywhere: the gritty survival of Fallout, the mind-bending terror of Call of Cthulhu, the galactic struggles of Star Wars, and the heroic conflicts of Mutants & Masterminds. Each system brings new mechanics, but our commitment stays the same: authentic storytelling where every choice shapes the outcome.
New episodes posted every Monday! So pull up a chair. There's always room at the table. A story worth gathering for. We'll see you at the Table!
