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.

Okay, then if Lord Gosumba's channel isn't considered a podcast,
I would like to nominate the channel for the Category: Actual Play.

Would this be acceptible?
The entire poll is about podcasts. You need to nominate a podcast. :)

Podcast: New Crits on the Block
Why: They have the key ingredients for a great podcast.
1. Storyline - The DM is great a crafting an addicting storyline that leaves you wanting to keep listening and gives you all the feels. You will definitely enjoy all the character development from each player as the story evolves.
2. Humor - Literally laugh out loud stuff. If you like to laugh and enjoy way too many pop cultural references this podcast is for you.
3. Production quality - Great audio, professional set up, audio editing is awesome, and they produce their own music for every episode.

I Nominate "New Crits On The Block"!

Why? I am not a podcast person, not at all. I have a hard time paying attention and really creating a world just listening to Podcast. Its why I can't do Audio books. However, with New Crits - i'm hooked. From the first episode where 20 seconds in the DM Jake is Roasted, you are set up for a loveable, hilarious adventure where you don't know what the party will do next. Be warned: Do Not Do Dishes When Listening. I have accidently broken a glass drinking cup from laughing so hard!

Actual Play - www.newcritsontheblock.com
why? an amazing podcast which has grown from strength to strength and has grown throughout 2020 and become one of my favorite podcasts. The characters are well thought out and the campaign is brilliant. they have also made a wonderful international community which just shows how good their podcast is. The theme song is one of the best ones ive heard.

New Crits on the block - have you heard the news about these guys?


Funny, gripping and full of heart, this adventure takes you through CHAD INFESTED FORESTS, ski resorts and sweet sixteen dance parties while keeping it real and keeping it DND fantasy.

If you like a laugh and something just full of personality and love, please go check these guys out. You won't be disappointed.

Actual Play - Very Random Encounters
They keep it lively by trying many different game systems.
They take randomly generated characters and breathe life into them with wit and empathy.
This is a team of people who support each other so each can shine.
And, there is good production quality.
