Total Party Thrill: RPG Advice From Our Table to Yours
Total Party Thrill is a podcast for GMs and players where we discuss our campaigns in order to inspire yours. Each episode begins with a short recap of an installment of our home campaigns, including the "Mourning Glory" Dungeons & Dragons 5E Eberron campaign and "Dynasty Unwarranted" Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader campaign. We then proceed to our main topic covering the titular aspect of game planning and playing, and we share tips and advice drawn from our own experience. Then we move on to the Character Creation Forge, where we build iconic character archetypes from outside traditional D&D using the D&D 5E rules. Following episode 283, we began the first of our limited-run Eberron Actual Play series. Follow us on Twitter: @TPTCast
