Tips at the Table was a Patreon-exclusive Friends at the Table series in which members of the cast would gather for a question & answer session, mainly focused on advice for listeners running games of their own. Tips episodes were recorded as livestreams and released as audio podcasts afterward. The series was mostly discontinued in favor of expanded Drawing Maps recordings; with the March 2023 Patreon rework, elements of the series were used in Gathering Information. Past episodes remain available to Friend-tier+ patrons.
