“I started this podcast late in June 2022 to try and learn how to GM a game I had never played before but was very interested in. I am now caught up after finishing episode 126. A few handy tips I have learned to help when I GM:
1) Always say math is hard when trying to buy time as the GM
2) If players are consulting you or asking important questions, keep the suspense up by completely forgetting what they said or ignoring them if they take longer than a few seconds to get the point across.
3) Slowly nerf the players' characters and claim that the publishers of the system have released "new content" to shift the blame.
4) Ducks can never be combatants under any circumstances.
Apparently if I follow these steps, no matter how bad of a GM I might be, my friends and I will have a ton of fun. I doubt we will be able to compete with the most bingeable podcast on Earth though. Thanks for the hours of laughs, and reminding me of my days around a table with friends in college. Dan, you might be a bad GM, but a few of the brief stories you have told really inspired me to be as cool of a Dad for my little girl as you seem to be!”Read full review »

“I have tried to listen to a number of RPG play podcasts and never really got on with any of them. Most either take themselves far too seriously, have atrocious sound quality or, such as Critical Role, might as well be an radio play, its so polished.
GPOPA hits a perfect mid-point - they are...”Read full review »
