Hello and welcome to Role, Play, Chat!
A biweekly forum where Mat sits down with members of the TTRPG community to chat about Role-Playing Games, like Dungeons & Dragons! Through discussions we will probe different aspects of being a Game Master or a Player, asking ourselves the same questions you might be pondering! I believe we will be sharing valuable insight in the hobby and want to take you along for the ride as we journey towards becoming better Game Masters.
So sit back, relax and let's Chat!

Customer Reviews
Informative Informal Chats
Mat does a great job of steering the conversation and covering interesting tabletop topics! Each episode is different and fun, and gives me inspiration for my own games.
Has some teeth to it
A ttrpg podcast revolves around isolated experiences and opinionated ramblings, these two manage to keep it interesting with a structured topical episode that feels fresh. I’d love to hear a female voice with a bit more humor and energy as well as more industry guests to discuss word building, game mechanics, and the nuances of their topics that they go back and forth on. Hearing them talk for 40 min on a subject is great but it would be more powerful to bring a guest for the back half of an episode to give them validation.
Likeable podcast with good tips
I really like this podcast! It feels very friendly and real and not staged - just two friends talking about ways to kick your table’s role play to the next level. While the information is not presented in a very dense way, I enjoy casually listening to Chris and Mat while I’m doing other things. Their voices are pleasant and they are personable hosts.
They do mention one particular role play construct, the “Pufferfish moment”, a lot, but since it’s something that’s so helpful to table role play (and it’s a fun name) I forgive them.
