PARTIZAN is the sixth season of the tabletop RPG actual-play podcast Friends at the Table. Chronologically, it follows COUNTER/Weight and Twilight Mirage, and like those seasons it is set in the Divine Universe. It has a direct sequel in PALISADE, which picks up five years after PARTIZAN leaves off.

PARTIZAN has a small but relatively active fandom based largely on Twitter and Tumblr, with fanfiction typically posted to AO3.
