Beyond a RPG module review podcast.

Love this show. I have listened through most episodes three times. Why? I learn something almost every time, even re listening. I have also purchased a fair number of modules featured on the show and have not been disappointed. Both Tom and Jason provide great insights on the module content, as well as pointers for module design and role playing skills and techniques. And unlike many rpg shows, their back and forth banter is entertaining. Five stars. I can also recommend other shows Jason Cordova hosts.

Hits on all levels

I could, and have, listened to this podcast for days. I really enjoy the flow of the conversation between Jason and Tom - such a pleasure to listen to two well spoken, knowledgeable and witty folks with great rapport. I don’t usually bend towards OSR modules, but this podcast has convinced me to buy and play a few. But what’s more, it’s made me a better GM thanks to the Expert Delve section. I’m also often excited to discover new movies and synthwave bangers. You can’t go wrong with this podcast.

Great RPG Content

Reviews of RPG modules with an eye towards both running as written and adapting to other systems. Great variety of genres are addressed.
