![]() While every podcast has its highlights, in this article I’ll be showcasing the best DnD podcasts - the ones that do the best job of weaving a story to share with other people and draw you into their fantasy world. With DnD’s rise in popularity and the ease of entry into the podcasting game, the market has been filled with different DnD podcasts. DnD lends itself to the audio format a lot more than most games, with the roleplay aspect being almost entirely verbal, while combat is slow, turn-based, and very descriptive. ![]() This, combined with the number of tutorial videos and other resources available (like Matt Collville and Web DM), has made DnD a lot more accessible than it has been at any time in its past.Īnother medium that has increased the accessibility of absorbing good DnD content has been podcasting. Channels like SourceFed, AchievementHunter, Critical Role, Funhaus, and Yogscast all have “actual play” (unedited) videos reaching towards the 1 million views mark ( and some far surpassing that mark). Youtube has been a massive help for DnD to expand its audience. It could be that 5e has brought DnD back to its roots with a more accessible system, or that the late 2010s have seen a normalization of nerd culture, but I think that a major player in the popularity of 5e has been the internet. There is no doubt that we are in the golden age of DnD, with the 5th Edition (5e) selling more copies than the 3rd, 3.5 and, 4th editions (as confirmed by a tweet by Mike Mearls, the lead designer of DnD’s 5th Edition).
