“It’s so refreshing to see a TTRPG podcast that’s not about D&D. This show is a great way to learn about how character building works in different TTRPGs and being walked through it with the game’s creators is fun. Ryan and Amelia are engaging, warm hosts.”

“Actual plays can be hard to get through if you can’t vibe with the actors. Luckily, I don’t have this problem with Character Creation Cast, and not just because it’s the rare role playing podcast that is not an actual play. Amelia and Ryan have wonderful chemistry. If nerd snark has you down,...”Read full review »

“Thank you so much for this episode!
I’m sure a lot of us have had experiences that have been sub- optimal and we did not have a mechanism for putting a halt to it- and as an older player, I remember a time when trying to express that would have been anathema. I’m so glad it’s not anymore.

It’s not only a great introduction to new games, but the hosts and their guests take some time to talk about how the characters act as a window into how the game works.
