    Most of the other shows are just explanations of how to play a game. Tabletop felt like friends hanging out to play them. It’s the same thing that makes a good D&D show. We want to be a part of something if it actually looks like they’re friends hanging out and having fun.

      If either you or @zagorath aren’t aware of it, Dimension 20 is an amazing table top series that is absolutely a bunch of friends sitting around playing D&D. I’ve been hooked the last 6-8 months as we work through the series.

        I’m aware of Dimension 20, though as far as Dropout productions go I’m much more a fan of Um, Actually. Wil Wheaton’s Tabletop was actually not an RPG actual-play, it was a board game show. A very different genre of show.

        I’m aware of them. I’ve been listening to Tabletop Gold recently, which is only audio but it’s good. It’s Pathfinder 2E, which I hope we see a lot more of. Everyone knows of D&D, but P2e is the better system.
