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.

Thanks for the nominations for the GROGNARD files and the kind words, much appreciated.


What would the Smart Party Do? has been great in 2018: Baz and Gaz have had an extraordinary work rate this year.


They're easy-going, likeable and extremely knowledgable with a real desire to inspire interest in the hobby. The GROGNARD files has featured on their pod, but it doesn't invalidate my nomination as many will have also gained their selfless promotion of the projects that they admire: from indy games to mainstream, from dyed-in-the-wool gamers to those discovering the hobby for the first time; they have an interest in it all.


I like many podcasts, but this is the one I enjoy for its insight and entertainment.

The Rolistes Podcast. https://rolistespod.com/
Kalum goes out of his way to bring news from the rpg world by going to conventions, interviewing players, game designers, game publishers, gaming clubs etc... He's always keen to hear and investigate what others are playing in other countries. Also this year he had the funniest actual play recordings. Check out the lone wolf one for a good laugh.
