My First Dungeon

I just finished listening to the 10 Candles season and I was absolutely CAPTIVATED. This game is so unique and the small details that the creator incorporates into the rules really creates a spooky/ thriller vibe. I loved hearing how the characters created their stories and played off of each others experiences. The end of the game had me on the edge of my seat and the imagery was even more powerful than watching a movie. Great listen, can’t watch to hear more!

Honestly, My First Dungeon is doing for me now what One Shot did for me in 2013--revitalizing my love of interesting TTRPGs. In an ocean of overproduced D&D podcasts, the cast and crew of MFD _actually play games_ and show how to be good players and good gamemasters. In terms of the actual games--they explain mechanics without being too wordy, they openly discuss safety tools, they showcase interesting settings and systems, and they work as a team to tell a good story. Oh, and the stories they tell are AMAZING. Between the creativity of the cast, expert editing, and their on-call musician, they somehow make arc after arc of deeply compelling narratives without losing sight of their mission of teaching us to be active and collaborative participants at the table. Do yourself a favor and subscribe.

I’m sure this is a common thing with this show, but I started listening based on the most recent TTRPG the crew started playing, The Wildsea RPG. I’ve followed the game since early in its Kickstarter, and when the creator Felix Isaacs mentioned the podcast I knew I had to give it a listen… And BOY was I blown away. I have fallen in love with the people playing, their characters, the humor, the editing, everything. An immediate recommendation to all my friends who have even the slightest interest in actual-play podcasts.

I finally got around to checking out this podcast and am so glad I did. I've been wanting to branch out into playing more ttrpg systems and this is an entertaining way to check out a new game, it's vibes and mechanics. Highly recommend!
