Dungeon Master Diaries - Podcast Rankings and reviews

This podcast is not only a great Shadowdark podcast, it’s a great ttrpg podcast. The tone and charisma is good, subject matter interesting, and the combined experiences of the hosts are valuable for DMs and players alike. Truly top notch, with an excellent discord community too.

Matt and Jody have put together a friggin greet Shadowdark podcast. Too-notch production and great content. Lots of good DM advice. Very practical.

I just received my Shadowdark book in the mail two days ago. I was really interested in the reason why this system is unique. It seemed like just another OSR clone/mash up to me on the surface. So, I really appreciate all the discussion of the systems finer points here. It really does seem like a great, simple, streamlined system. I’m starting a new group with players of little to no experience and I think Shadowdark will be the perfect system for them. Thanks for getting me so jazzed on the system. I’ve listened to all episodes in the last couple days. Keep up the good work.

These guys are great! They’re so engaging and charismatic. The production quality is astoundingly good. They always have great topics to discuss and do a fantastic job and diving in deep on the topic but never allow it to overstay its welcome. I love Shadowdark, but I’m also really intrigued by OSR in general and these guys are the best around for such subject matter.
