As always, the podcasts are divided into two categories: ACTUAL PLAY and TALK. Actual Play podcasts are podcasts where the podcasters play an actual tabletop RPG for your listening enjoyment. Talk podcasts include interviews, reviews, discussion, opinion, advice and news.

Hall of Fame
Last year's winners were Tablestory (Actual Play) and The Grognard Files (Talk). These two podcasts joined The Adventure Zone, and The Good Friends of Jackson Elias in the Hall of Fame, and are not eligible to enter this year.

How it works
This is the nomination thread. In this thread, anybody can nominate their favourite tabletop RPG podcast in each of two categories (Actual Play, and Talk).

Once the nominations close, they will be compiled and the full (valid) list presented in a poll for public voting.

The Top 10 in each category will be announced first on Morrus' Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk, and then later posted here to the website.

Rules for valid nominations:
  • podcasts, not videos
  • must have released at least 3 new episodes in 2020
  • the main focus must be tabletop RPGs
  • must not be your own podcast
  • must include a link to the podcast’s web page
  • if a group puts out multiple podcasts, they are combined into one nomination
  • say why
  • podcasts in the Hall of Fame are no longer eligible
  • one nomination per category per person only

Nominations open for two weeks, until Sunday 29th November. The poll will come shortly thereafter. The results will fittingly initially be announced in our podcast and posted here as an article later.

Nominate your favourite by posting in the replies. You only get to nominate one in each category (Talk, Actual Play). Make sure to check the rules above or your nomination may not valid.

Podcast: Polyhedron - Polyhedron Podcast — Metahedron Studios

Why: I've listened to Polyhedron for years and they put out steady and entertaining content about tabletop RPGs. They cover not just details of games themselves (like mechanics and setting) but discusses industry news and interviews with developers. They dedicate the time and funds to good equipment and editing, to make a clear presentation of entertainment, and occasionally side-track into ribbing each other and the sort of jokes that show they are friends. They've hosted panels at local conventions and always make it a point not to shy away from the enthusiastic 'let me tell you about my character' energy of the crowd, because they get that gaming is so personal to players. I like it because it's like sitting in the room with my friends talking about gaming, and I miss that a lot about 2020.

I nominate Very Random Encounters!

Type: AP

Site: vre.show

Their show is centered around using as much randomness as possible for story, character creation, villains, and much more. This was the first AP I listened to and their entire catalog is quality. It’s genuinely one of the most creative pieces of media I’ve seen at all!

I nominate Orlanth Rex's Podcast Vexes for talk and for actual play How We Roll. Thanks.

Talk: The Good Friends of Jackson Elias

Play: Red Moon Roleplaying

Why? They are simply the best actual play podcast around blowing others out of the water. Very into the emphasis on role in roleplay. Highly recommended!
