Who am I?

I love improvised storytelling with dice, especially when people discover things about their characters and themselves at the table I'm an improv comedian and game master. Reader of books and teller of stories. These shows challenge me to up my storytelling game.

What is my podcast playlist about?

Shows that use Roleplaying Games (RPGs) to tell stories that combine laughs, tears, deeply personal moments, and moments that make your jaw drop.

The podcasts I picked and why

1. RPG Major

Why this podcast?

Deep characters, players who know how to entertain and to pull at heartstrings. Plus... the improvised songs elevate this show into something REALLY special.

A Musical Tabletop Mystery An Actual Play RPG Podcast that’s also Improvised Musical Theater? Who would do that? And why is it so good!? In this show, a group of private investigators solve supernatural mysteries by rolling dice and singing songs. Inspired by shows like Worlds Beyond Number, Dimension 20, and Campaign from the One Shot network, this show stars comedians who are serious about telling good stories. Give it a listen: you’re going to laugh, you’re going to be charmed by the characters, you’re going to be amazed by the music, all of which is made up on the spot with the help of a live accompanist, you’re going to wonder ”do they really improvise the songs?” as they’re pulling at your heartstrings, and then you’ll laugh again as you solve the mysteries alongside the characters.

2. Campaign: Skyjacks

Why this podcast?

Skyjacks is pretty good, but the Star Wars arc that preceded it is absolute magic. Players bring heart to their characters and chaos to the GM, while the GM manages to subtly coax the players through a really satisfying story.

5. Find the Path Podcast

Why this podcast?

Looking for a game that takes itself seriously while still has solid camaraderie between players? Find the Path features a group who has been playing together for years, who take the arcane rules of Pathfinder seriously, and who deliver regularly. It's a bit different from the others on this list - the story tends to loom larger than the characters - but it's still well worth a listen.
