Penance RPG is a homebrew style of RPG podcast created out of the belief that actual play storytelling should allow for not only free player choice for any and every decision but equal consequences to these decisions.

I love Penance RPG’s take on rpgs! Clever and unique homebrew ideas, creative twists on standard adventures and systems, unpredictable players and a DM who can and will roll with the chaos come together to create a podcast that separates itself from the others by taking the familiar and making it something entirely other. I listen to several ttrpg podcasts, and Penance is always the one to take me by surprise and keep me captivated.
Great stuff from these peeps, I’m glued to my phone every episode no matter what!
One of my favourite TTRPG podcasts! Always fun, creative and unpredictable!
Long time fans, first time review. We don't usually listen to RPG casts, but the storytelling and interactive play make Penance an extremely worthwhile and entertaining listen...check them out.
This is a show with creativity, heart and variety. Worth the listen/watch!

A lively, homebrew-driven RPG actual-play podcast noted for its chaotic yet cohesive storytelling, strong character chemistry, and playful banter. Episodes balance high-stakes fantasy plots with humorous, personal moments, inventive world-building, and a fast-paced, session-by-session narrative that keeps listeners coming back for clever twists, memorable NPCs, and collaborative problem-solving. The show is often praised for engaging dynamics among a tight-knit group, ambitious homebrew content, and high energy, while continually refining audio clarity and production as it grows. Fans likely appreciate both the epic stakes and the lighthearted, communal vibe that makes strategic decisions and improvisation feel earned and entertaining.
