A Consistent Source of Inspiration

“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 inspiration, and TPT came up. A few episodes in, and I was hooked. Now I’ve listened to every episode, many of them multiple times.
They nail down their format early on and stick to it, dividing (almost) every episode into four tidy sections (industry news, campaign recap, main topic, character creation). The topics they choose are varied enough that I can always find at least a couple of episodes to listen to that will tie in with whatever I’m planning for the week. The recap of their home campaigns is surprisingly engaging (no offense intended; I just know how people’s eyes sometimes glaze over when I tell what I think is an epic story from my table), and the Mourning Glory Campaign was a direct inspiration for my deciding to use some GM magic and transport my campaign from a homebrew setting to Eberron when my second child was born and I needed to lighten my workload. Thanks to the Character Creation Forge, I have a binder full of characters I (now the forever GM) will probably never get to play.
If you are at all interested in D&D or tabletop gaming in general, whether you’re a player or a game master, I strongly encourage you to give TPT a shot. I’ve listened to many, many gaming podcasts at this point, and none have come close to this one.”

Voices: this is what really struck me, I-Hsien and Shane have some of the most pleasing voices in any podcasting, let alone RPG podcasts. While compelling, their...”Read full review »

“As the only listener to have actually played 5e (even before listening to the podcast), I got into Total Party Thrill for the character creation forge, and their amazing Grappler build, but have come to love Eberron and greatly value the advise of the hosts. As a bit of a power gamer, uh, I mean...”Read full review »

“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.”
