Laylyoldwild ,

Great idea well actioned

Love the premise and the cast continually manages to produce compelling content and lovable characters. The potluck at the end of a one-shot is a great way to end that story and allowed me to skip an arc without it feeling incomplete.
The cast call attention to problematic features of the systems they're playing and do what they can to be inclusive and considerate. They actively care about accessibility and provide trigger warnings (in the expanded description) and transcripts (on their website) where they can. It's been refreshing to have a podcast where I don't have to question how ableist the show/cast is going to be.

Tabletop Pot Luck Magnificent Mice!

Initially the sound was a bit sharp, when everyone laughed it was a touch peircing but persevere as it is definitely worth it! I have so far only listened to the Mouse guard game but I will be hitting all of the other games when I have time. With Excellent game play and characterisation I was drawn into the story very quickly. The other main bonus is that the clear explanation of the game allowed me to finally grasp how mouseguard is supposed to run! I find the post game discussion very useful as well. Recommended listening!

More diversity than you can shake a stick at

Diversity of cast? Check
Diversity of Characters? Check
Diversity of game systems? Check!

Tabletop potluck does something that few other shows accomplish and they do it with a sense of style and flair that is hard to accomplish. A great resource to get a sense for a system you've never played before and a group actively building a platform for game systems that currentlyget less exposure than certain big names you might be more familiar with.

A show that accomplishes all this whilst immediately radiating a level of affection and trust for one another that is hard to put into words. You won't find a more talented and interesting crew to take a journey into the unknown with.

I love this show!
