  • Follow the Leader is a show that's really committed to doing TTRPGs right. Right by participants, right by listeners, right by the games. The whole cast models good collaborative behavior. The show is funny when it's time to goof, it's serious when it's time to have feelings, and it showcases some fascinating games that I'd otherwise not have encountered.

  • An Extended Universe of Awesome

    For those unfamiliar with Follow the Leader, here is the premise: a group of friends play GMless games together, each using their own cast of original characters.

Sometimes, arcs will exist within the same "universe", and therefore be stand-alone but connected adventures. Other times, the arcs exist as flash-in-the-pan one-offs, brilliant nonetheless. I have been listening since this show start... more

  • This is the podcast that made me really believe in, and be able to envision, roleplaying games without a GM. Here's some cool nerds with good ideas playing games where they tell stories and build worlds together, and it's great!

  • Cool folks cool games

    There‘s an approach to gaming and storytelling here - partially necessitated by the GMless focus - that is so interesting and so thoughtful. I‘ve found out about a few great games from this already, by listening to people talk through weird and emotional stories with them, and I expect many more. Also the theme song‘s very soothing :) Thanks for a lovely listen!
