    Reckless A-Talk: JesTheHuman

    Reckless A-Talk: JesTheHuman

    Welcome to another episode of Reckless A-Talk, our TTRPG interview show where we sit down with some of our favorite writers, players, GMs, and streamers to get to know a little bit more about what makes them who they are.
    We are very frick-frackin excited to present to you this very good and fun and perhaps even educational episode, as we got to chat with TTRPG creator, charity streamer, adventure writer, and generally cool person JesTheHuman.
    Jes is probably most known for their regular charity game streams, where they have played with multiple scores of different TTRPG folks and raised multiple thousands of dollars over the last two years.
    They are also a writer of D&D adventures including “A Murder in Mossbank,” a murder mystery one shot featured in Dragon magazine’s online edition, as well as whole TTRPGs like the very wild Uncaging Nicolas, the multiversal adventure game Nathan got to GM and playtest on Jes’s stream a little while ago.
    As of this recording, their latest charity TTRPG bundle “TTRPGs for Palestine” is live on Tiltify, so please find a link to all of that great work and more in the episode description and support their efforts as best you can.
    In this episode we get into their personal and professional fundraising passion, the details of putting together a charity event, how to safely put a table of strangers together for a game, bullshitting your way through, the benefits of being just a silly lil guy, and lots more.
    As always if you enjoy this episode please go check out some of our other Reckless A-Talk interviews and maybe even our actual play episodes.
    Thank you for listening!

    Episode 103: Beeline to the Finish Line

    The Guilders, in an attempt to get the stars to align in their favor, enact a daring plan to get Quincy and Violet together as quickly as possible.  Unfortunately, while the “Cliff’s Notes” version will give you the main plot points, some skipped details could cause other, unforeseen problems.

Amazing Podcast!

Reckless Attack is a truly delightful listen. The cast clearly enjoys the game, they bounce off of each other perfectly, and Nathan is one of the best DMs I’ve had the pleasure of listening to. The sound quality and technical aspects are impeccable and I’m excited for every new episode.

All that being said, 5 stars for the stacks

Fun, exciting and completely reckless

One of the best actual plays out there. Tightly edited, inventive with great camaraderie and unique storytelling. Highly recommend.

etehall ,

Fun and innovative D&D actual play

This is an amazing D&D AP podcast. It is well-edited, and the episodes are a very reasonable length. The players have great chemistry, and they do some really innovative collaborative world building where everyone at the table is involved in building the world of their story. Also, their running gag about the character that is essentially a the stack of frogs lends just enough levity while the enemies keep the stakes high. 5/5, definitely recommended for anyone looking for a D&D podcast that doesn’t required 4-5 hours of time per week.
