  • I freaking love this podcast, and not just because I'm a friend of the show 😆. Celeste, Neal, and Derrick are excellent hosts who are as nerdy and "oh this is cool"as the rest of us.

  • Fantastic resource

    This show is an epic boon to anybody considering running any TTRPG. I started listening back in November 23 (from the beginning) and have been hooked on every episode.

    This show is the catalyst that made me realise that I COULD run a game for my friends and I am now 12 months into a fun campaign which our long suffering forever DM now gets to play in.

    The only trouble I have is selecting which elements of the countless great ideas to use in my games.

    Thank you to all the amazing hosts and g... more

  • One of, if not THE, best podcasts there isfor DM/GMs

    I was looking for a podcast that wasn’t just a bunch of play through of their sessions/campaigns- or some sort of debrief of past sessions. I wanted to hear from other DMs having conversations about aspects of various TTRPGS and this is EXACTLY what I wanted.

    Super informative, super cool ideas being shared and very fun to hear some of the same thoughts I’ve had as a DM outlaid between experienced GMs

  • As someone who has very low confidence and is quite new to dungeon mastering, I decided to try to learn as much as I could to get a grasp on things. Of every resource I have come across, this podcast offers the most robust, yet consumable advice that is applicable for all styles of gameplay. They are so helpful and fun to listen to on my commute to work! My games wouldn't be nearly as consistent without the assurance of seasoned veterans/enthusiasts on this pod giving such in-depth, versatile... more
