About

Total Party Thrill is an ENnie-nominated RPG discussion podcast. Each episode covers a particular aspect of game planning and playing, and hosts I-Hsien and Shane share tips and advice drawn from their own experiences, including a 3-year Eberron campaign and an ongoing Rogue Trader saga. Then follow them into the Character Creation Forge, where they build iconic character archetypes from outside traditional Dungeons & Dragons using the D&D 5th Edition rules.

Network

Total Party Thrill is a proud member of the Don’t Split the Podcast Network.

When it found moderate success, they got an itch that could only be scratched by making more podcasts. Don’t Split the Podcast Network was formed when the duo realized plenty of other gamers had a passion for podcasting and needed a platform.The mission of the network is simple—spread the gospel of gaming. We love games in all their forms—from board to video to tabletop RPGs.  If you like gaming, then you’ll love our podcasts. Check them out.
