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.

If actual play is admissible, then I nominate Sounds Like Crowes http://www.soundslikecrowes.com/ a Deadlands Reloaded podcast.

 

[Sands999]

Dungeons Master's Block - These guys are consistent, have a great attitude, have fun conversations and give good advice for anyone trying to run D&D games of any edition. Have a blast and listen to the DMB!

GODS FALL - great podcast with an intricate story that unfolds in a way that mixes live play and audio drama like an old radio serial. The creator even came out with a great campaign book based on the story in the podcast, which I happen to have! The story telling of Aram is as incredible as any fantasy novel you could be inspired by!

Dungeons & Randomness - This is a fun group of people who have a good global community of players from all over the world. They have been consistently playing D&D campaigns for some time. The most amazing thing about this pod cast has been listening to the transformation of the Dungeon Master's life. He started the pod cast as a factory worker who was always told that he shouldn't follow his ambitions, and through help with the community he transformed his life so that he was able to do this pod cast and make a living by doing it! He even eventually meets his wife. The blend of real and fantasy is truly inspiring in this epic podcast.

Since it has already been nominated, I won’t mention the glass cannon podcast, easily my favorite rpg related podcast, and it’s not close.

dnd is for nerds tends to have me chuckling every episode

 

[Fandabidozi]

Drunks and Dragons are my favourite and have really been hitting it out of the park this year. Unfortunately I don’t know how to link the site...

 

[tgmoore]

I nominate Hobbs & Friends of the OSR.

 

[Maggan]

How come no one has mentioned The Grognard Files (https://thegrognardfiles.com)?



I instead nominate Total Party Kill.

I second the nomination of Hobbs & Friends. Jason gets some fantastic guests and the conversation seems very unscripted like a conversation among friends.

 

[Morrus]

Links, folks. No link, no nomination.

 

[Evan Franke]

I nominate The Iconic Podcast (season 2) (https://iconicpodcast.com/).

While its focus is on 13th Age, it is a rich mine of ideas for any kind of fantasy game. It is fun and approachable and useful! They have released 18 regular episodes so far this year (with a few other extras)!

 

[DM Howard]

Dungeons Master's Block - These guys are consistent, have a great attitude, have fun conversations and give good advice for anyone trying to run D&D games of any edition. Have a blast and listen to the DMB!

I second the DMB, such a quality podcast. DMs and Players should do themselves a favor and listen to every episode of this fantastic podcast.

 

[thedicemechanic]

Grognard Files, no question. Lots of other great content out there, but nothing tickles the intellect AND pulls the heartstrings like Dirk the Dice and pals

[MNblockhead]

Since nobody has nominated it yet, I'll throw in Dragon Talk (http://dnd.wizards.com/dragon-talk/podcast-hub)

Anyone who plays D&D should listen to this for the news and especially the excellent "Lore You Should Know". Once of the few gaming podcasts I never miss.

 

[Broccli_Head]

I renominate Hobbs & Friends. Link is attached this time

[WeAreContinuum]

I would add the following to those already nominated: Hearty Dice Friends https://rowanrookanddecard.com/hearty-dice-friends-podcast/ from Grant + Chris of ROWAN ROOK & DECARD

 

[Scott Dorward]

I've got three that I really enjoy listening too:

1. Blasphemous Tomes
2. The Coriolis Effect
3. HowWeRollPodcast

Blasphemous Tomes because every episode is interesting to listen to and the hosts really know how to do a podcast. Plus I'm a big Call of Cthulhu fan.

Thank you very much for the kind words! We really appreciate it.

I hope it's not rude of me to offer one minor correction. While our website and publishing imprint are both called Blasphemous Tomes, the podcast is actually named The Good Friends of Jackson Elias.

Thank you again!

Yes, thank you very much for that correction, obviously got a bit confused when I was looking for the website and just copied the page title. I have updated my post with the correct name. Thanks again and I look forward to many more episodes from Paul, Matthew, and yourself!

Happy gaming!

Hey everyone! A couple of podcasters have contacted me and pointed out that a week isn’t long enough for them to get the word out for nominations, given that most podcasts are weekly. Fair point.

The nomination period is being extended to Tuesday 18th December.

 

[corwinlinnel110]

I gotta nominate Role Playing Public Radio. Ten years of actual plays and advice, and still providing insight.
