“"I would argue if you take two hours to create a fighter and then spend four hours playing that fighter at the table, you've spent six hours playing Dungeons and Dragons." -- TV's James D'Amato
As a primarily solo gamer, the most joy I experience with a role-playing game is creating different characters using the game's system and then fleshing them out into complex, interesting people. Amelia Antrim and Ryan Boelter employ this very technique, using character creation as a focal point to analyze a game's strengths and weaknesses.
Each three-episode season centers around a single game and includes special guests based on their expertise of the game. Featured games range from popular to obscure and from decades-old classics to new games still in development. Between seasons, the podcast often adds an "Evolution" epsiode featuring concepts and ideas to help players have a better roleplaying experience.
As hosts, Amelia and Ryan are knowledgeable, passionate, and very personable. Their love and enthusiasm for the subject matter shines through, and it makes the show an enjoyable and rewarding listen. If you're overwhelmed with the number of actual play and GM-centric podcasts, Character Creation Cast will give you a different way to learn about systems and could inspire you to try them on your own. Highly recommended.”Read full review »

“I did not know how much I would love tabletop games when I first played D&D. In fact, I hated D&D to start out. And once I was coaxed back to the table, I was intimidated by learning the game. And once I learned it, I was intimidated to try other RPGs.
Enter this podcast.
Because this...”Read full review »

“Really enjoy this show, the conceit is brilliant and randomly creating characters for systems i may never play is something I do in my own spare time too! The hosts are both extremely enthusiastic which helps carry through some of the duller systems. Hope to see you guys do burning wheel sometime...”Read full review »
