Party of One Podcast

If I want to check out a new system, the very first thing that I do is check whether there’s a Party of One episode about it—and Jeff pulls in such an incredible diversity of games, that quite frequently, there is! He and his guests do an incredible job showcasing the mechanics, displaying what makes the system special, and telling a tight compelling narrative—somehow in an hour and a half, every time. It’s truly amazing stuff.

This is my go to podcast when I’m curious about a new game. If it’s an episode of the show, I know I’m going to get a great example of a great game.

There are showrunners who are amazing storytellers, and showrunners who are brilliant game masters. If you are lucky, some are even compassionate and decent. It is quite a rare thing to get all three in one person. What Jeff has built with Party of 1 has shown thousands of gamers how to be better to each other. It is also an amazing showcase of games, systems, guests, and stories, but at its core it is a lesson about kindness. Jeff taught me that TTRPG shows need to be more than spectacle, celebrity, and production. They need to care, and they need to be designed to make space for others. Thank you for keeping us all honest, Jeff, and for making the space we all play in better.

As a William Paterson alumni and victim of multiple summer semesters, I am incredibly offended by your episodes of Kingdom with Gregg Gethard. The jokes made at the college’s expense are 100% accurate and absolutely hilarious. I am that one person who has walked through the student center there and been handed a flyer for something obscure like an ultra violence yelp review mic night in Paterson. Every episode of this podcast is incredible and it only gets better as time goes on. I would give you 10 out of 5 stars if I was allowed by Lord Apple.
