Jake is one of those DMs who started recording their games almost immediately after starting to run their own games. His players have incredible improv and voice acting skills from theater days that really add to the listening experience. Jake and I talked about the difference between running a pre-written adventure and a homebrew one, and also about the importance of pacing in any TTRPG game, but especially on that is being recorded!

Jeff is the incredible DM of the live stream DandD show The Dungeon Run which I discovered a little over a year ago. The show has a really cool and unique audience participation aspect that made it stick out to me at first, but I kept coming back for the awesome roleplay and story the the whole cast was creating together. Jeff has some amazing insights about running your campaign so it's fun and engaging for everyone, how to ride the chaos wave created by players and audience participation, and much more. You can find Jeff on Twitter from https://twitter.com/jeffcannata (@jeffcannata).

Mike is the English teacher you wish you had in school, the kind who you could talk TTRPGs with after class! He started playing TTRPGs when he was a kid and hasn't stopped since. He first discovered play by post TTRPGs when his life became too busy for a weekly game. Mike talks about what makes play by post so appealing to players who have 5 games going on at a time or none. We also talk about how to avoid the pitfalls of consent in gaming and how to make sure everyone feels welcome and safe in your game.

Benjamin knew a few things when he started Lawful Great Adventures. He wanted to flip the typical TTRPG trope of going on an adventure to some unknown place and instead made it a journey home, and he wanted to really lean into the cast when he was crafting the story so the world was as real to his players as it was to him. We chatted about these choices, as well as about what he might have changed if he could go back and start all over again. Not that he wants to, but he's got a few ideas and tricks up his sleeve for anyone thinking of making the plunge into Actual Play podcasts. Follow Benjamin on https://twitter.com/TTBenjamin1 (Twitter), and get your journey started with https://www.spreaker.com/show/lawful-great-adventures (Lawful Great Adventures) too.
