J-Ronca ,

Great Podcast poor Movie Taste

TPT is a great podcast with wonderful insights, entertaining banter, and professional editing. Every time I and go elsewhere for RPG content I find myself missing the laid back tone found on Total Party Thrill. Thank you for the years of content and I look forward to hopefully many more!

(Unfortunately, I-Hsien keeps insulting Andy Samberg’s Hot Rod, one of the greatest movies of all time. Hopefully this slander will stop, but I am doubtful.)

Best D&D Podcast by far

This is my favorite D&D podcast. The hosts are fun and humble and super knowledgeable. Highly recommend it.

Not impressed in Nevada ,

Do they even like DnD

They find every excuse to complain about every book or new release. The negativity is so constant and often unreasonable it makes it tough to want to listen. It wouldn’t be so bad if Shane wasn’t so whiny. They also make way too many mistakes when it comes to the rules of DnD.
