Total Party Skill - Podcast Rankings and reviews

These three are incredible! Their insights into the game are top-notch, and I love their topic discussions each week. Total Party Skill has genuinely made my DMing experience so much smoother, and my players have benefited from it too. In fact, my group has now fully embraced the Homebrew game they discussed, and it’s become a staple in our campaign Discord.

Also, George—thank you so much for creating Poor Dumbio. A version of him now exists in my D&D universe, with a few tweaks—he’s a wizard who can’t read, meaning no spellbook. My players absolutely hate him, and little do they know, he’s on track to become a mini BBEG. Between sessions, he’s been spending time at Candlekeep, learning how to read, and soon he’ll return as an overpowered spellcaster with nearly all the spells from TPS’s villain draft—yet somehow, he still makes the worst decisions imaginable.

If you love D&D and want a podcast that’s both insightful and wildly entertaining, Total Party Skill is a must-listen!

Total Party Skill is exactly what I crave as a DM and player who has far too many actual play podcasts to choose from. All I want is a podcast that makes me feel like I’m geeking out with my friends. Gabe, George, and Dylan achieve this effortlessly. The homebrew segment is a constant source of inspiration and is a good reminder that there’s no right way to do creativity. The draft segment are a good deep dive into niche areas of the game and remind me of what’s out there in the world of this game. Each episode is 11/10.

Total Party Skill is fun and insightful whether you play, run or just enjoy DnD.
Gabe, George and Dylan are friends and DMs/GMs of varying experience levels from professional to just a couple campaigns under their belt.
You get to be Goldilocks, choosing between these three bears’ advice on rules, classes, items, spells and more.
They’ve got hot takes, stone-cold opinions and intelligent, just-right discussions to give you food for thought.
All this along with home brew, draft time (what if Pokémon but DnD?), special GM guests and, if we’re very very lucky, the question of just how well did the People’s Champion sleep will be answered.

Just got back into D&D after a long hiatus, when Gabe showed up on my FYP on TikTok - that ‘follow’ led me to the podcast, which I devoured entirely. I have now caught up to all the previous episode episodes, and I impatiently wait for every Friday episode to drop.

These guys have a great dynamic, you can tell they are friends IRL, they’re very passionate about TTRPG, and tremendously creative in the ways they bring their games to life. Love all the segments. Homebrew and Draft Time discussions are essential listening for any aspiring DM.

10/10 - no notes. Keep up the great work, guys.
