Titterpigs is a podcast dedicated to the discussion of tabletop roleplaying games. Ironically, it's also the acronym for the commonly used #ttrpgs hashtag. Hosts Scott and Keith will dig their way into your eardrums and infect your brainpan. They're out to prove they have no idea what we are doing, but that won't stop them! With nearly 70 years of gaming experience between them, they have a few opinions. More importantly, they seek to be positive goodwill ambassadors for the hobby.
