Excellent storytelling

Best DW podcast out there. These guys really are a model for what great roleplaying and collaborative storytelling can achieve. They give great insight into group dynamics, roleplaying and story-building tools, and effective communication. Great entertainment and good place to learn a lot about RP. Keep up the good work

New Favorite RPG Podcast

Outstanding actual play podcast. As a player and DM looking for something less restrictive than D&D but with a bit more structure than Fate Core, I picked up a copy of Dungeon World a while back, but it didn't really click with me. However, after hearing this amazing podcast, DW makes so much more sense; can't wait to play a session myself. Thanks again for the high quality DMing, playing, and recording. (PS - it would be great to have access to the character playbooks one day. It'd be a cool additional help to learn some of the moves mentioned during play...)
