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

Depicting Genocide in Impactful and Responsible Ways
I-Hsien is joined by Angelo, a Palestinian-American lawyer and founder of our tabletop home group, for a conversation about presenting and processing genocide in your game. It’s a common trope in stories from Star Wars to Dark Sun, and they discuss characterizing victims and perpetrators, fridging cultures, tying in personal and family experiences and more. (93m)

Customer Reviews
Great Podcast poor Movie Taste
TPT is a great podcast with wonderful insights, entertaining banter, and professional editing. Every time I and go elsewhere for RPG content I find myself missing the laid back tone found on Total Party Thrill. Thank you for the years of content and I look forward to hopefully many more!
(Unfortunately, I-Hsien keeps insulting Andy Samberg’s Hot Rod, one of the greatest movies of all time. Hopefully this slander will stop, but I am doubtful.)
Best D&D Podcast by far
This is my favorite D&D podcast. The hosts are fun and humble and super knowledgeable. Highly recommend it.
Do they even like DnD
They find every excuse to complain about every book or new release. The negativity is so constant and often unreasonable it makes it tough to want to listen. It wouldn’t be so bad if Shane wasn’t so whiny. They also make way too many mistakes when it comes to the rules of DnD.
