My First Dungeon is the tabletop role-playing podcast where we put first time Dungeon Masters through their paces as we build and run their first adventure and then circle back around to discuss what went right, what went wrong, and how they can make their game better.
Beyond the stories that we write just to *sell*, there are three fundamental reasons for the tales that we tell: to inspire a thought, course of action, or remember something by. And the trust, impact or legacy that those through your audience--or market or tribe--will provide. Hosted by professional writer, strategist and storytelling guide, Jarod Cerf, Here Be Tygers is a show for creatives and entrepreneurs alike about "taking life by the tale": from the ones that you'll write to all the ...

Talking Table Top Archives - The One Shot Podcast
Talking Table Top Archives - The One Shot Podcast
Giving every RPG a shot, one adventure at a time.
Join Sasha Sienna, Jonathan Sims and the odd illustrious guest as we talk about what we've learned about tabletop gaming, through the medium of our RPG stories.
Talking TableTop is a weekly interview style podcast created for tabletop gamers. We talk with industry leaders to find out what makes them tick. Our goal is to celebrate this incredible community of people and offer an avenue for collaboration between ourselves, this community, and those pushing tabletop innovation.
An actual play/game design podcast! Hosted by Jessica Crimes and produced by Don't Hurt Birds, on MLG we develop, play, and chat about indie TTRPGs; build all-new games with exciting guests; and all too often ignore a game's rules in favour of a good story - after all, they're more like guidelines.
