Gathering Information is a Patreon-exclusive Friends at the Table podcast series hosted by Ali Acampora where the cast talks about the process of making the show. It was created in March 2023 during a rework of the Patreon, in order to combine elements of the 'behind the scenes' nature of certain Pusher rewards, Drawing Maps, and Tips at the Table. It is available for Telepresence+ tier patrons, and currently being released monthly.

| 05 | Developers Blog | Oct 4, 2023[2] | 2:05:09 | Ali, Austin | This month I decided to bring Austin on so we can just talk through some of the moving pieces in the FatT office right now: Realis, Grandpa's Farm, looking to what we'd like to record in the winter, and of course... some discussion of Palisade! As you'll hear in the episode, part of the reason this release was a bit delayed was Austin wanted to get on call again to discuss some of the conversation around the latest faction turn!
