making stories playing games
Bored Ghost uses tabletop roleplaying games to create stories. Each week we release half of a tale born out a play. From independently published collaborative storytelling games to traditional Role-Playing Games, we try it all to tell stories. These tales and games are experiments.

Customer Reviews
Variety is the spice of life!
Check this podcast out and let them get you into a new game! These guys have a lovely dynamic, and are downright fun to listen to. The episodes are short, sweet, and entertaining while still holding onto great story development. I myself have a long-play ttrpg podcast, but it's SO refreshing to not have to listen to five million episodes just to catch up with what's going on. I'm still gonna listen to them all though...
Games you've never heard before
I love the idea of a podcast that specializes in Actual Plays of games that have had little to no previous AP exposure. The next time that I'm curious about a game, this is exactly where I'll listen.
Perfect “Live” Research
This show is just bite-sized adventures that are easy to consume to give a taste of what different tabletop rpgs are like. If you’re a GM/DM/Keeper who’s look for your next game, use this show to check out gamestyles in action, without having to go on a major endeavor/commitment. Guests are great, and DM style is good! Keep it up!
