I found this podcast on Google (sorry Apple) and it has the older stuff. I loved the content until it suddenly switch format from parodies and skits to just another podcast of hosts talking. Went from something unique and funny to dime a dozen podcast format.

I've been listening since it first started, years ago. It's great, the variety between different systems is awesome, and the overall cast is great.Read full review »

I started listening a few years ago because of some specific content that I was interested in. I have gone on to consume their entire library. There is enough variety to spark interest, and everything is good enough quality that you will find yourself enjoying things you would not have thought to...Read full review »

I love this show. It’s I a chat show about table top roleplaying games. The format is that the host (Ross) invites a revolving cast of co hosts to talk with him about a single gaming related subject for about half the show. They then talk about what interesting nerd related media they have found...Read full review »

Bringing up un proven allegations up about people I’ve never heard of is bad form. Be a professional.

Might change my review if it changes. But you can remove your old episodes if you sound like an unabashed, uneducated fool. I was going to give them the benefit of the doubt, but then they said, “In high school”. I’m ashamed to think people like this still exist in the world. But I’m willing to...Read full review »

Generally average and listenable. STAY AWAY FROM THE GORGON EPISODE! It’s dreadfully bad. Possibly best example of how to be a bad game master. How those players didn’t leave the room is a wonder.

Excellent content and quality, except for the GM's girl / GM has crush to player syndrome. As a GM James always makes Kat's character as central character. Other PCs are fairly useless compared to what Kat has. She is more like a co-GM with GM PC, than a player. James is good GM, and...Read full review »

RPPR is a weird niche intersection of high concept ideas, horror themes, sci fi, lovecraft, action movies, vaporwave but somehow they pull it together into something impressive.
Zac Gross via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/19/17
This podcast has a wonderful blend of dedication to a relaxed atmosphere with humor and talk of RPGs that doesn't tend to happen in other podcasts. Instead of just "well, you should do things like this," you actually have the episodes they're referring to in the actual play feed....Read full review »

Just found this Podcast a few months ago, and I've been loving it. Not only is it funny, but the content is top notch as well. I can easily relate to their style of play and appreciate their advice and gaming observations. The whole crew is great, but I do want to give a special shout out to...Read full review »

I originally found this podcast while looking for Night's Black Agent Actual Plays. I feel in love with their wonderful humor, awesome characters, and amazing stories. I have opened up to a wide range of different RPGs, many that I would have never heard otherwise. Many of the players bring...Read full review »

As someone going to GenCon the first time this year I really enjoyed getting to hear some of your tips and tricks for navigating the con.

RPPR is a podcast devoted to tabletop RPG topics, as well as interviews with game designers, panels from conventions, and Game Designers Workshop, where the host reviews his work on a new RPG in real time. The topics are insightful and unique, and I've learned and laughed quite a bit from...Read full review »

If you're a fan of RPPR actual plays, check this out right now! If you're intersted in TTRPGs in general, their creation process, ideas for developing campaigns, and the wider 'ttrpg lifestyle', this is a massive recommend.Read full review »

RPPR has been moved to the top of my Podcast list. Literally, they are the top spot now. I don't play all of the game systems that they discuss in the show, but I take something useful away from each and every episode just the same. They give useful advice focusing more on "why"...Read full review »

I can easily say that this show has heavily influenced the way I write and run games today, and I wouldn't be as strong a writer as I am without it.Read full review »

I'm always curious on what the next RPPR episode or actual play is going to be with all the diverse tastes in the group. Tons of tips & information on different settings, rules & more goodness in this stellar podcast. Not only has RPPR got me hooked on their podcast but opened my eyes...Read full review »

Good and great.

Really enjoyed this one. Interesting cast, solid audio, proper editing - a real fun and informative D&D podcast.

They've been around for a while and it's still the best. High quality GM and players always coming up with new kinds of crazy.

I love this podcast along with RPPR Actual Play. I do with Tom would interrupt less. It makes it a difficult listen at times.
Slimjimzv via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/06/14
The show has some decent material, but the overall annoying characteristics are too overwhelming to ignore. The one host needs to stop doing his "black voice," which sounds like the spirit of jazz from mighty boosh but is mighty offensive. The technical annoyances are over the top....Read full review »

A great show about RPGs and things that RPGers love. Very informative for GMs. Ross and Tom really are a great team.

Ross Payton and Tom Church deliver a great show with a nice mix of content and banter. This show is one of my favorites, and they earned every carat of the Gold Innie awards for best podcast.

RPPR is a fantastic podcast which gets better and better. The hosts, Ross and Tom, have a simple, winning formula which is pretty much hard to beat – they talk through a discussion topic on role-playing or the RPG industry for about half the show, then go through a series of “shout-outs” or...Read full review »

This podcast is amazing. The guys really give you a different perspective for gm'ing that other podcast dont do.they break it down, make is simple and its all around fun. Ross and Tom both have brought up points as a GM i would not have considered. The humor doesnt hurt it at all. All around...Read full review »

New drinking game! Take a shot every time Ross goes "uhhhh" between sentences...you'll die of alcohol poisoning in 40 seconds flat! Seriously, it is annoying hearing that every 5 seconds. Also, the co-host is a lot louder than Ross, so when I turn it up to hear him, I'm blasted by...Read full review »

Only a few podcasts can make me laugh out loud. This is one of them!
VironsusiXIII via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/09/11
Whenever I see RPPR has a new episode, I always find myself eager to hear Ross's announcer voice and Tom's subsequent despondency at having to put up with it yet again. It never gets old. Why? Because Ross and Tom really play well off of each other. Tom is hilarious in that George...Read full review »

It's like host and his co-hosts are living in the past. Be warned, it's not modern, current view of hobby. And it's making me angry cause I can't agree with this show about nearly any topic. They have their moments but it's mostly dated naive. Listen if you want to scream:...Read full review »

I listened to the interview with Jolly Blackburn and thought I'd give another episode a try. I tried to listen to the 'Immerse Me' episode... But after about 4 minutes of waiting for the hosts to get around to anything resembling the title of the episode I gave up. I can get the same...Read full review »

Simply fantastic.. Great horror games like call of Cthulhu and wonderful fantasy games of d&d.. The GM is entertaining and well spoken and the players are amazing.

These guys bring you nerdy and childish entertainment that feeds your inner nerdy child in an awesome way. Plus they know their stuff... I'm pretty sure they've been roleplaying for quite a while, and if not, then props to them. This podcast is roleplaying advice and culture, but if...Read full review »

I have been a listener since ep 1 and didnt realize I hadn't rated this show, sorry. I love the show and Ross is one of the most entertaining DM's I have ever heard.

Clever, humorous, and offers great advice for players and GMs alike. Tom and Ross have great chemistry and are great to listen to.

My favorite gaming podcast. The show pacing is great, moving through some reviews and shorter segments before tackling the main topic of the day, then wrapping up with great antecdotes, letters and shoutouts. The actual play files can be a bit overwhelming in length (3+ hours) but they are...Read full review »

Whether you're listening to an episode or a live play Podcast, RPPR is like gaming with gamers. Every podcast that you get through will have you throwing your head back in laughter or wincing and the heinously hilarious things the players or comentators say. RPPR will remind you of the table...Read full review »

This is such a brilliant concept for a podcast: basically record a gaming session. That's it. Simple and wonderful, right? Unfortunately, the downside is exactly the same as sitting through a gaming session. Everyone starts getting excited and jumpy, trying to out-ludicrous each other....Read full review »
