Friends at the Table is a long-running weekly TTRPG actual play podcast focused on "critical worldbuilding, smart characterization, and fun interaction between good friends." Its GM and host is Austin Walker. Seasons alternate between different settings and continuities, which has resulted in the creation of overlapping sub-fandoms.

Friends at the Table's smallish but dedicated fandom is active on Twitter, Tumblr, Cohost, and Discord, where fans post episode reactions, discuss plot and character developments, share fanart, and arrange fests and challenges. The fic-writing side of the fandom, while somewhat less active than the fanart side, typically posts fic to Archive of Our Own. An active contingent of fangame developers creates short fangames, often using Twine or bitsy, and an array of other types of fanworks can be found, including but not limited to vids, fan songs, and fan crafts.
