Try Not To Die

Can’t recommend this show enough for both seasoned D&D players and noobs like myself. It has an exciting and fun plot and the mechanics are easy to follow even if you’ve only got a basic understanding of how the game works. It’s a very small cast, but the DM kills it with so many lovable and interesting NPCs that it feels much larger. Characters develop pretty quickly and quirkily, but never stop evolving and are impossible not to love or love to hate. The cast has great chemistry and have obviously been playing together forever, but don’t frequently make you feel out of the loop with inside jokes and obscure references like a lot of other live action RPG podcasts I’ve tried out in the past. If you consume as many podcasts as I do, you’ll also appreciate how many hours of content they have available and with the first full campaign complete you can easily binge and still have weeks or months of listening. Can’t wait for the next one!

1. If you like Naddpod humor, you’re in the right spot! 2. Try not to die is an incredible actual play that feels like a written novel with it’s vibrant and diverse NPCs who all live in a world that the DM incredibly brings to life every single session. The story’s protagonist, Zola, is also an amazing character to follow through their journey of self discovery and the trials and tribulations that happen along the way. 3. With a single player, the pace is fast and the stakes are always high. Zola has their fair share of shockingly good and bad luck that tells a great story and leaves you eager to get to the next episode.

to be fair, i am in it 😌

Love this podcast, it’s got all the comedy and love as Fantasy High, with the same tight knit connection and starter friendly heirs of NADDPOD. If you’re looking for a new Realplay Podcast that’s more focused on funny than rolls, this is a show for you!
