Customer Reviews
An informative good time!
Update: after all these years, this is still my favorite RPG podcast. Their Actual Plays are great, too!
While slightly mature in nature, the HJ hosts are a ton of fun and have great input and feedback on all aspects of the RPG hobby, from different play styles to different systems to great tips and advice.
Great Gaming Podcast
Great show with lots of useful advice, mostly for GMs but also players.
Excellent progressive GM podcast!!!
I’ve been gaming for 4+ decades mostly GMing, and listening to HappyJacks since their first season. The HJs crew is diverse and effective, ranging from newbs to harrumphing Grognards, all bringing their observations and experience in playing TTRPGs. More importantly, they bring the same to RUNNING games! Their pallet runs from the birth of RPGs in the 70’s right up through ‘It’s in Beta testing now. I wrote it." The cast is rolling with certain core members often there. They love their community and the show is based around reading questions and stories, then discussing them in detail. Have a question? Send it in!
Happy Jacks is one of my top three podcasts of any type and the e been there for YEARS! Give them a listen!
