What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I have been listening to this amazing podcast for 6 years on and off. You have some of the best quality information and are better than Dragon Talk (RIP). I realize that I have no place asking anything of you generous people, but I would love two things: to have this review read on the air and to have you make one of the following episodes (even as a 5-10 minute section): Mind Flayer based adventure/encounter ideas Adapting books, TV, and movies Writing a D&D book for publish Or What D&D players can get from Doctor Who (show and rpg) I just want to thank you again, and say that you have inspired me to write a full Eberron-style gazetteer of three time periods of a world unlike any others. You even inspired me to start DMing in the first place! -DM Mergar the Mildly Impressive “You want weapons! We’re in a library; best weapons in the universe!” - The Doctor, Tooth and Claw

One Wise Dragon · Jan 2026

I was looking for a podcast that wasn’t just a bunch of play through of their sessions/campaigns- or some sort of debrief of past sessions. I wanted to hear from other DMs having conversations about aspects of various TTRPGS and this is EXACTLY what I wanted. Super informative, super cool ideas being shared and very fun to hear some of the same thoughts I’ve had as a DM outlaid between experienced GMs

Andee Isaacs · Mar 2025

As a DM I am always looking for inspiration, tools, tips, and support. DMs Block offers all that and more. I come for the weight-lifting in DM-nastics, and I stay for the love of the game and the camaraderie of the hosts. If you can only listen to one podcast, you should probably pick this one.

TechyJosh · Mar 2025

I have listened to every episode. There is truly a plethora of information found within these tomes of knowledge. You’ll find tips, ideas, and friends sharing ideas and conversations about a hobby they all love and share. Even if you’re not a DM or GM, you’ll find friendly advice here.
