Actual Play Podcast and Video Recommendations!


Greetings, adventurers! 

I was planning on dropping a major new article today, but I am starting on a new full time job and I am a bit overwhelmed at the moment. So instead of my usual fare, please enjoy these links to actual play (recorded tabletop RPG session) podcasts and videos series from all over the 'net! I will be dropping more recommendations like these as time goes on, but for now I hope this provides plenty of listening enjoyment.

Happy Ventures!


Acquisitions Incorporated:Wizards of the Coast employee Chris Perkins hosts these exciting sessions at PAX, probably the highest profile Dungeons and Dragons actual play series of all time! *Strong language warning*

Critical HitSome real solid and entertaining characterization in this 4th edition DnD series which has lots of tactical encounters and plenty of role playing.

Critical Role: A massive party of professional voice actors gather for this video series, with lots of clever banter and atmospheric soundscapes. Played in heavily houseruled 5th edition D&D.

D6mafia's "Threshold"A really fun and playful ongoing 5th edition D&D campaign with a very friendly, welcoming tone. Especially good for demonstrating how to give the players creative control over many aspects of a campaign. As another plus, it's video as well.

Harmontown D&D : Community showrunner and long-time gaming nerd Dan Harmon assembles his friends, audience volunteers, and celebrity guest stars to play through some old-school Dungeons and Dragons. Hosted by a truly skillful Dungeon Master named Spencer Crittendon. *Strong adult content warning*

Nerd Poker: Comedian Brian Posehn and friends welcome you into their ongoing D&D campaign as they delve into mystery and adventure! *Some adult content*

One ShotOne of the most highly recommended actual play series, this one doesn't limit itself to a single system. Instead the podcasters showcase a wide range of RPG products and are very entertaining in the process!

Robot Chicken One Shot: Chris Perkins hosts this video event to promote 4th edition Dungeons and Dragons. It's a really good introduction to the enjoyable feeling of gaming with friends, regardless of the specific system.

RollplayYoutuber ItmeJP gathers various personalities from the web to play through different gaming systems, including Dungeon World and Shadowrun!

Rated RPGThe folks at Blame Society Films, creators of Chad Vader and Beer and Board Games try their hand at the world of role playing games. Hijinks ensue.
