The Lords of the Dungeon: A Role Playing Game Podcast by The Secret Cabal The Lords of the Dungeon

Part actual play, Part self-indulgent behind the scenes, all crap.

Bleh. Just. Bleh.

This podcast would be a lot better if they focused on playing rather than their information segments.

The role-playing advice episodes have way too much banter and not enough substance, and the substantive bits aren’t really helpful for anyone with more than a session’s worth of experience in an RPG. Their advice tends to go like this:

“Let’s talk about problem players.”

“I think you should talk to problem players about why they’re a problem.”

“Yes that’s a good idea.”

Now stretch that out over a 30 minute segment. The jokes aren’t funny. The banter is egotistic, masturbatory nonsense that either sounds trite or comes off as a series of in-jokes from a party you weren’t invited to. I also have a hard time telling some of the hosts apart, and there are way too many of them all trying to get a word in. It’s confusing.

Save your time with this one. Maybe check out Fear the Boot instead.
