Our curated selection of reviews
if you like TTRPG discussions, Mastering Dungeons is head and shoulders above all the others. So many TTRPG podcasts have too much banter and not enough fact. MD always does their homework first, and they often take deep dives into new game systems. Plus the hosts, Shawn Merwin and Teos Abadia, are working designers who have written for Wizards of the Coast, Ghostfire Gaming, MCDM, and other large publishers, so their opinions come from a well of deep experience.

Teos and Shawn are so knowledgeable, and they have great insights into topics that are relevant for any GM for any system. Though focus often returns to D&D, many episodes are about other systems, at least in part. Highly recommended!

Great mix of rpg news, dm advice, and more. I really enjoy the hosts commentary on game/adventure design. There gritty overview of such topics has infected my brain and now I actually read monster stat blocks in depth before a session.

I really enjoy this show. I’ve been listening a few months. Part like most is discussion of how different products and ideas fit into the hobby. For example, lots of recent discussion on how character creation choices tie to the setting (or work against it).
Very polished presentation. Gets me excited to check out more of their work. My only prior exposure to the hosts were mentions from another podcast and Teos work on Forge of Foes.
