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.

Why?: I dont think they get enough love for being one of the better 5e actual play podcasts. Great world building, solid house rules and home brew along with great role-play, story-telling and encounter building.

Category: Actual Play

Why: high production value, their fake commercials are hilarious and they can bring the drama like nobody's business. Strongly recommend to anyone who likes their actual play podcasts with a bit more polish and effort.

I'd have to go with The League of Ultimate Questing. Set in a World where adventuring is a major league sport. With hilarious in-word advertisements, lovable color commentators and a fantastic cast.

Why: This is a fantasy world where questing is a major league sport! Great adventures, hilarious fake ads, and an amazing discord community!

These guys have been gaming together for years, and are a great example of how to blend homebrew and standard rules.

One of the few gaming podcasts dedicated to the best space RPG ever - Traveller (2nd Mongoose). They have a companion site for folks who want to see the math involved in maintaining a merchant/mercenary campaign in a non-fantasy world.

Talk: The World Forge Podcast

They do a wonderful job inspiring my world building. Every time I get stuck I turn to their backlog to see if they have done an episode around whatever it is I am thinking of. Listening to Sam and Piper flex their creative muscles always gets me doing the same.
