It feels like every time we're in the studio there's another strange beast in here

Still need some intros for the upcoming season! If you have a cool character you'd want to show off to the world with a short audio clip, DM us about it #ttrpg

A new friend supervising recording today? It feels like every time we're in Reilly's studio there's another stuffed animal here 🦥📈

Back in the studio 🐮🎙️🦥

You know those intros at the start of each episode where someone introduces the show in-character as their PC and tells the audience they're listening to Campaign Spotlight? We've set up a hotline to collect more of those! Call it in to 724 320 2020 (and then DM us about it so we can credit you).

Back from the library with research material for next season

Back in the studio for Season 5

We're once looking for people with interesting home #ttrpg campaigns who'd be up for in-person interviews at our studio in Seattle. It absolutely doesn't have to be D&D 5e. Please DM us or just reply here if that sounds fun for you.

Looking for guests with interesting home TTRPG campaigns. If you run a cool home game and you'd be up for an audio-only no-video podcast interview at our studio in Seattle, DM us. We're really hoping to showcase more home games that wouldn't otherwise get shared with the world. #ttrpg #indiettrpg

The Season 4 finale came out less than a week ago but we're already looking for guests for Season 5! If you're based in Seattle, you have a cool home TTRPG campaign, and you'd like to talk about it on a podcast, then you should DM us about it. #ttrpg #indiettrpg

We recorded on-location and in-character at an extremely fun cyberpunk LARP yesterday. Excited for this episode to come out. We're so lucky that this show gives us an excuse to go to events like this.

We're covering a cyberpunk LARP live on location and we always want to respect the vibe of the events we cover and your cohost Jake is woefully unsupervised at the moment so decisions are being made.
