I just got caught up on The Adventure Zone and I'm looking for something to scratch that itch... I've enjoyed (in no particular order):

The Adventure Zone (classic, crazy good storytelling)
Goofs and Goblins (group of friends over skype, pretty funny)
The Dragon Friends (australian comedy improv D&D, live audience also very funny)
and Harmontown from time to time (mostly comedy improv, has a short D&D segment).

I like Matt Mercer's stuff too, like Critical Role but I'm looking for something audio only to listen to during my commute. Does anyone else have any recs? Thanks!

Campaign Podcast - Star Wars: Edge of the Empire. Follow the hilarious adventures of the crew of the Mynock, who have become the most wanted criminals in the galaxy after sort of inadvertently stealing the plans to the "Murder Ball".

It's my favorite actual play podcast, hands down.

I rather enjoyed http://strandgamers.com/podcasts/inquisition/ because I really love Burning Wheel. The first five episodes or so are not very good, but they rapidly get better from there and I think it's a fantastic game by the end.

Sweet, thanks guys! Enjoying Campaign so far, the GM lady is a pretty good storyteller.

I am astounded at her ability to roll with the players' antics. It's edited, so maybe there are what I would consider appropriate amounts of crying/screaming into pillows/beseeching the saints/laying about with blunt objects, but still. Just wait until a throw away joke gets turned into a story arc that took over a year of real time and featured, as it's primary antagonists, two characters who only existed because of a pun. AND IT WASNT EVEN A GOOD PUN. Kat had to have been improvising wildly, but it's always solid gold. :smallbiggrin::smallbiggrin:

Hahaah yeah, I've been at it for a while today and man she is quick on her toes. If they're editing it heavily, it's hard to tell, it sounds pretty fluid. Reminds me a similar thing in goofs and goblins, he says that the casino has men with "prices on their heads," just to show that they're tough and his whole party ends up trying to become bounty hunters because of a throw-away line and it's the focus of the rest of the campaign :biggrin:

Check out the Glass Cannon Podcast, and Godsfall. Glass Cannon is a few friends out in New York running the Giantslayer Adventure Path by Paizo. It definitely feels like a very traditional tabletop group, and all five of them are very entertaining to listen to. Godsfall is a 5th Ed Dungeons and Dragons game set in a homebrewed world, centered around the fallout of a war between the gods. Probably the most serious Real Play Podcast I've listened to, with some truly spectacular editing. Both are highly recommended.

Thanks mate! I forgot to check back in on this thread for a while but I'll check these out too :smallsmile:

Tabletop gaming was hard enough to get into. I'm not about to try cracking into an established podcast dedicated to the hobby.
