Nominate your favorite TTRPG podcast of 2021

As December approaches, it's that time of year again -- where we take nominations for your favourite TTRPG podcast of the year!

Every year on the Morrus' Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk podcast, along with this website, we hold a giant poll to find out what are the most favourite tabletop RPG podcasts of the year. The voting is divided into two categories -- TALK, and ACTUAL PLAY -- and each years, two podcasts win and enter the HALL OF FAME. Once a podcast has entered the Hall of Fame, it is no longer eligible in future years.

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.

Here are last year's winners -- What Would The Smart Party Do?, and The Unexpectables. Who will take the crown and join the Hall of Fame in 2021?

How To Nominate

• Post your nomination as a reply to this thread.
• One nomination per person per category.
• Must have released at least 3 new episodes in 2021.
• Include the podcast name (tbe accurate) -- and a LINK to the show's website. If I have to search for it I’ll just move on!
• Note which category your nomination is in -- ACTUAL PLAY or TALK.
• PODCASTS, not YouTube channels or Twitch streams.
• It cannot be your podcast or one you are involved with.
• Its primary focus must be tabletop roleplaying games.
• If a group puts out multiple podcasts, they are combined into one nomination.
• Those which have won before are not eligible.
• Please say why, as we read those comment out on the show.

Nominations will be open until Friday December 3rd. After that the shows will be put to the public vote and the winners announced on the Morrus' Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk podcast.

Be sure to follow the above rules. I’ll only be compiling valid nominations which do so!

This is genuinely my favorite PRG podcast. I have been listening for years now and this podcast is a great mix of RPG news, peaks at new kickstarters and interesting guests. I have checked out other podcasts but I always seem to come back to hear about what Morrus and Peter are up to.

Theatre of the Mind Players for Actual Play.

They are an anthology-style actual-play group that hosts a variety of non–D&D games, leaning mostly into indie games but also on occasion dipping their toes into IP-based games. I had taken a hiatus from TTRPGs and was very curious as to how some of these more modern games played out, and I found Theatre of the Mind Players when I was looking for a playthrough of Over the Edge. I couldn't stop there; they introduced me to a number of new TTRPGs, such as Masks, Mork Borg, and Tales from the Loop, and their extended playthrough of Delta Green was, honestly, extraordinary. The troupe has real chemistry both with one another and also with the GM, Rob Wieland.

Also, the players have very distinct personalities themselves, and what I honestly love most about watching their videos/listening to their podcasts is getting to know the players themselves through watching them play these games and these characters. It's like in the old days, when people said that they felt as if they actually Walter Kronkite because of his nightly newcasts (& how some people reportedly feel the same way watching streamers play), I felt as if I had become friends with TMP through viewing of their games.
