Nominate Your Favourite RPG Podcasts of 2020!

It’s that time of year again! Nominate your favourite RPG podcasts of 2019. As a reminder, here are last year’s Top 10, and here's 2018. Who will take the crown for 2020?

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.

My nomination: The League of Ultimate Questing www.theluq.com
which is an: Actual Play Podcast

Why?: Full of humour, drama & intrigue... everything a decent story needs. Law (the DM) presents an amazing homebrew D&D world, that feels vibrant & continuously alive beyond what is shown to the cast & listeners. He then populates it with a wealth of NPCs that run the gamut of fun & bizarre all the way to down right evil, conniving and bloodthirsty. The cast fuel the story with their own responses and characters, showing character growth alongside the character levelling. They skirt the edge between full on drama & rules &rolls bogging down the flow really well. It's the podcats I download every week, when it releases without fail.

And then there's the half time sponsor ads, which are AMAZING.

Why: tldr It’s great and hilarious and serious and riveting.
The players and the DM are all very intentional about the intersection between storytelling and the unique aspects of TTRPGs. They take things like traits and features and the randomness of rolls and really deliberately use them to tell stories. They are there to play the game of course but it feels like their real goal is to use the game to draw out their characters, and to see how their characters behave in a given situation. They don’t do what’s easy or what would be the best way to “win” unless it happens to suit the character’s state of mind and personality and abilities. They really inhabit their characters.

It’s also funny and heartwarming and heartbreaking and has all the feelings.

Party of One link
For AP

Party of one is one of the best AP RPG podcasts out there. Jeff’s One V One format is excellent for creating an intimate atmosphere and a solid introduction to new systems.
