TPT is a great podcast with wonderful insights, entertaining banter, and professional editing. Every time I and go elsewhere for RPG content I find myself missing the laid back tone found on Total Party Thrill. Thank you for the years of content and I look forward to hopefully many...Read full review »

They find every excuse to complain about every book or new release. The negativity is so constant and often unreasonable it makes it tough to want to listen. It wouldn’t be so bad if Shane wasn’t so whiny. They also make way too many mistakes when it comes to the rules of DnD.

This is my favorite D&D podcast. The hosts are fun and humble and super knowledgeable. Highly recommend it.

I found these guys through the Don’t Split the Podcast Network. They share my love for Eberron so they can’t be all bad! Seriously they have a good viewpoint in gaming and are a pleasure to listen to.

… in way to little time. This podcast is amazingly funny, educative and inclusive. All the advice given is close to my playing experience and I’m sure I’m a better DM due to this guys. The campaign recaps are really exciting and more often then not I’m sitting there waiting for the next part...Read full review »

Generally, phenomenal work, guys.
Nael Simmerhorn via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/15/21
I’m a huge fan of this podcast. Hosts I-Hsien and Shane show their system mastery time and time again as they dive deep in the art Dungeon Mastering. Even though I’m not a fan of Min/Maxing, I do enjoy the Character Creation Forge, as it seems to rely more on story development then pure damage...Read full review »

Love the show.Intelligent, insightful conversation. But AP was the best. We need more Meepo please.

A long running podcast with lots of great material and just enough NY sarcasm to make me feel at home. Love you guys

Really, really enjoying the Sunless Citadel actual play!
mgdrae via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 03/29/21
As I’ve grown as a person and DM over the years it is only because of Total Party Thrill that I am the competent Dungeon Master and engaged Player that I am today. This is because of the fact that each episode expands on the ideas that I would have if I tried to come up with a heist, or how I...Read full review »

So much great stuff in here, a brilliant hoard of content for any budding DM. Love hearing about the campaigns too!
Anderooooooo via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/17/20
This is by far, my favourite D&D podcast (and I listen to a lot!). Great topics, knowledgeable hosts and good audio quality. At first I didn’t think I’d be interested in the campaign chat or the character forge but the way the hosts handle it won me over. The character forge in particular...Read full review »
Country Punk via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/24/20
TPT is one of those podcasts I look forward to each week. From the campaign stories, helpful main topics, and the character creation forge, this dynamic duo delivers! My favorite episode? Episode 15 with the character built from the song “Devil in Me” by Halsey. Honestly every character built...Read full review »

These guys are some of the best trrpg podcasters out there. They're informative, clear, and supremely entertaining. Audio quality is fantastic. I feel like every episode I listen to I come away knowing more about how to be a better player and a better game master. Thanks, guys!Read full review »
araklusta via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/21/20
I only listened to one episode, but it sounded like they didn’t want to talk about the topic and just cracked bad jokes. They didn’t really give any advice about DMing which is what I was looking for.
Twonald Dwain via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/19/20
Just an outstanding production all-around. Knowledgeable and erudite hosts, fantastic format, a real treat. Please don’t stop!
JK_313 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/23/20
Two guys talking real talk about rpg's. From the opening banter to their own game recaps, from charater building to product reviews, I-Hsien and Shane make my drive to or from work much more enjoyable. It's like having friends in the backs seat talking about the games I love.Read full review »

Work phone, who dis? Got myself a new iPiece and figured I’d put it to some good use. 5 stars for the gents in NYC.

I started listening two years ago and have gone through the entire library. Intelligent and fun.
jeff a/k/a krieg via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/16/19
Intelligent & thoughtful discussion, knowledgeable co-hosts, witty banter, fantastic editing, and numerous useful suggestions for both GMs and players make this the best RPG podcast out there.
dkinsman via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/27/19
I'm only 50 episodes in, but already I can say I've implemented at least half-dozen suggestions and topics they've talked about. I haven't had that much inspiration and many ideas from a single source in a long time. Shane and I-HSien complement each other well, and their banter...Read full review »
Icosahedron20 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/06/19
I started running a D&D 5e campaign for some friends at work about a year and a half ago. Most of the players were new to tabletop gaming, but I had played a bit of 3.5 in college, so I agreed to GM. I reached out to my gaming friends for advice on something worth listening to for...Read full review »
gonzobanjo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/14/19
I love this show. The guys are clever, insightful, and well read and there is always something to take away from each episode. Their character concepts are on point, their adventure recaps are compelling, and all their other content is not just filler. I’ve been listening for the last few months...Read full review »
Seebassrun1908947146 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/15/19
Love this show!!! The topics are always fresh and full of valuable tips, game hooks and info that have really helped me as I prepare my game sessions. Keep up the great work guys!!!
maddestthinker via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/01/19
iTunes isn't even available for my operating system, but the charm, intelligence and downright dogged hard work put in by our two podcast heros at Total Party Thrill was crying out for aknowledgement and I had to take extreme measures. Almost crossing my own moral even horizon, I installed...Read full review »
MEGA-Ranger via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/30/19
A couple months ago when I was preparing to run my Eberron campaign I was reccomended this podcast. What I got was much more then just knowledge on the setting.

Very well done gaming podcast that comes out very consistently, with a tight format and strong production.

Lawyer Geoff via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/08/19
I started listening to this podcast after they joined DSPN and hearing an ad. All of the topics that Shane and I-Hsein discuss will always come up in games and help you get the most from them. The self-depreciating humor is wonderful, and gives the cast the casual feel of listening to your own...Read full review »

dadoflink via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/07/19
First hear you guys on Table Top Babble in Sept 2018 - then I immediately bing listened to every episode made. The show sparked my desire to DM again and I talk about it with any table top gamer that will listen - some have become fans as well. The only question I have is - why not Dr Who on...Read full review »
noverton via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/18/18
This pod differ from most that cater to DM’s as you get a small campaign recap, some game mastering tips and finishing off with a themed character build. I mostly find the middle section useful but it’s nice to have the other bits since it’s a nice listen that serves as inspiration both when...Read full review »

I’m a new GM and I was looking for a podcast that would help inspire me and offer a good, in depth look at a variety of RPG topics. I’m happy to say Total Party Thrill is the whole package. Their walk through of their own campaign helps offer real examples of the topics they cover and the...Read full review »

I love the character builds. I get so many ideas when listening to them. The alignment advice segments are top notch role play help. Keep up the good work!
laylath via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/10/18
Shane and Ishaan have the best podcast period for role players. I'm a first time player trying to gain some system mastery in order to become a DM. The audio quality is great and the advice is excellent. Their advice is so good, that I managed to listen to 172 episodes in the last 2 months,...Read full review »

This podcast is a great resource for any GM or player out there, no matter what game you play. It got me writing an Eberron campaign in no time. Great work!
Gogglestheferret via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/07/18
I really love the subject matter, especially as a verteran DM/GM of 30+ years experience. This has brought some much needed food for thought in my planning and campaign design.
Jesse "Madcap" via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/05/18
Came for the character creation, stayed for the great explanation of game mechanics, the interesting thoughts about how to implement different themes and... just too much more for my limited vocabulary to say. Five stars, totally deserved, but also in the hopes of Shane or I-Hsien reading...Read full review »
AmateurSuchtler via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 10/24/18
I recently binge listened to every episode in the back catalog of TPT - and have to say, I'm sad I'm done!

I recently found about your podcast and have binging it ever since (36 episodes in the last 3 weeks so far) I love the multi-topic format and the great rapport you have.

I can't stop listening! Shane and I-Hsien offer entertaining commentary on running tabletop RPGs (with a focus on D&D). They provide insights on game mechanics, thoughtful suggestions on how DMs and players can improve their games, and bite-sized running commentary on their own RPG...Read full review »
SunBrit via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/31/18
These guys really know their stuff. The show is full of funny and witty moments but it also gives useful, concrete advice to help with your own DMing. Of special note is the excellent chemistry between the hosts which makes most other podcasts seem stilted and full of uncomfortable gaps. Great...Read full review »

Agent Archangel via Apple Podcasts · Italy · 08/17/18
This is hands down the best gm advice podcast around. I-Hsien and Shane are both entertaining and educational. So much so that they inspired one of my players to start running his own game letting me be a player and rescuing me from my forever GM status. They both have my eternal...Read full review »

A few months ago GM burnout hit me hard and I couldn’t bring myself to put any effort into or even think about D&D. Listening to TPT however has jump started my creativity and I’m realizing more and more how much better of a GM and player I could be. I emailed a question regarding an upcoming...Read full review »
