Taking nominations for best RPG Podcasts of 2018!

The Gauntlet's Fear of a Black Dragon takes a look at (mostly) TSR-era and OSR adventures, analyzes how they play, and then pivots to deeper discussion on GMing a particular facet of that adventure.

I nominate Heroes Rise Podcast (https://heroesrisepodcast.com/), a Dungeons and Dragons podcast featuring information on all the latest Dungeons and Dragons news, including new book and adventure module releases; reviews of helpful tools, apps, and physical merchandise for your table; and tips and suggestions for improving your game, no matter which side of the screen you’re on. Be sure to look for new episodes on Wednesdays wherever you get your podcasts.

I'd have to go with The Broadswords. Great storytelling and really funny characters.

You Meet In A Tavern

The storytelling and imagery is like no other D&D actual play podcast imo, the DM is super talented. It has made me laugh, it's made me cry, it's made me literally have a go at the DM on discord for ripping my heart apart.
But it's also so much fun. The three PCs (Tug, Derf and Karl) all bring something different to the podcast. They have a really good balance of getting through the story, emotinally reacting to what's going on all whilst larking about being mates having a good time playing a game. They are all incredibly creative and interesting.

I don’t expect this to go anywhere but I’ve got to mention Happy Jacks for years of dedication and really upping their game on the actual play front. One shot actual plays get their own feed and ongoing in another. Watch them live of listen as a podcast. The same solid advise and chatter over all these years.

Without a doubt, System Mastery Podcast (https://systemmasterypodcast.com/category/podcasts/system-mastery/). Jon and Jef provide a comedic experience while going through the good and bad, great and terrible of RPG design. An indispensable resource for anyone interested in creating their own RPG systems or writing supplements for existing games.

 

[The Rolistes Podcast]

https://rolistespod.com/ the rolistespodcast is mostly interview based with some actual plays and really quirky songs you've probably never heard before. Excellent game of Lone Wolf and also Nephilim, that I do recommend

Thanks for recommending the show Berraka
