D&D General D&D Podcasts that are edited like a story instead of a game?

[Charlaquin]

Dark Dice meets all of your criteria. It’s a podcast, narrated and edited like a story, even going so far as to have voice actors do the NPCs’ lines, with the majority of rules talk edited out, apart from the DM occasionally asking for a check or save and the player saying the total they rolled. Off the top of my head I don’t remember the average length of an episode, but I’m pretty sure they come in under an hour each? Jeff Goldblum also happens to be a player in it starting from the second season, if that interests you. Also, it is a horror campaign, so I don’t know if that will affect your interest positively or negatively, but it is something to keep in mind either way.

I'm looking for a D&D podcast recommendation. Do you know of any D&D podcasts that...

• Are podcasts, not just YouTube videos
• Are edited more like a story than a game (it should sound more like a radio drama than folks hanging out)
• Cuts out rules discussion, folks adding up numbers, etc. That's the part of D&D podcasts I tend to really not enjoy.
• Optional: are not too long, maybe less than an hour each episode?

Thanks for any recommendations!

Oh, I put this in D&D General, but really they don't have to be D&D Games.

Try Red Moon Roleplaying. Fits your wishes to a tee.

There's a show called The Anthologists on Spotify that just came out and is exactly this. Their first episode was 30 minutes and is listed with chapters like an audiobook instead of episodes

There's a new show called The Anthologists on spotify that sounds just like this. The first episode was 30 minutes and are separated in Chapters like an audiobook instead of episodes. I like it, and it'll be a small investment to check it out

Can I ask what benefit you would get from a podcast about a game campaign that cuts out all the game aspects? Why not just listen to a fiction podcast? This request is very confusing to me. Every time I listen to a game podcast that downplays the game I find myself annoyed and disappointed.

You can ask, but note that the post is over two years old....

It's kind of like Worlds Beyond Number where they focus on telling the story because they know the game so well they don't have to pause during combat to figure out what to roll.
Honestly, WBN is a wonderful example of what I think the op means.

Because I hadn't heard one before and I think it's an interesting idea.

I also enjoy improvised podcasts. Is that okay for me to listen to, even though it's unscripted fiction? I was unaware my tastes had to be justified!

They don't. I just don't understand the appeal personally.

Organizing by story is powerful and memorable. It is part of the appeal of narrative immersion and theater of the mind style.

Editing the gameplay for its story, including plot points and so on, seems worthwhile to listen to. It can inspire gameplay as well.
