“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.”

“… 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 »

“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 »

“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 »
