Who am I?
Passionate about playing all sorts of games, but especially the ttrpg Bunkers & Badasses for our actual play, Friend and Foe Adventure Co. I’m no expert, but I love listening to indie ttrpg actual plays and supporting them. As I’ve done my actual play I’ve gotten to know a good number of other indie shows and wanted to share a couple. These aren’t listed in any particular order. They’re all great!
My Show
What is my podcast about and/or how does it relate to the playlist topic you chose?
We’re an indie actual play podcast that plays in a homebrew world of Borderlands Bunkers & Badasses. Mayhem, comedy, action, and mayhem! Four Vault Hunters doing jobs for an adventure company. Luck is not in their side.
What is my podcast playlist about?
I wanna share more indie actual plays so you can hear a variety and maybe find some new, interesting stories and folks to listen to.
1. Halfwits & Failed Crits
Why this podcast?
I have really enjoyed listening to Halfwits & Failed Crits. The game master does and excellent job telling the story, setting the scene, and giving players time to shine. The players have a great dynamic and have fun characters! It’s awesome to hear them using the Stars Without Numbers system.
