In RPT#525, Carl made this reader tip request:
What would be the best videos or audios of RPG sessions that a new DM should watch or listen to?
Several great readers responded with their suggestions. Thanks!
1. Penny Arcade, I Hit It With My Axe
Carl,
I’m rather fond of the Penny Arcade podcasts. When D&D fourth edition debuted in 2008, Wizards of the Coast did a session with the guys from Penny Arcade and PvP. Future sessions added Wil Wheaton.
If you want video, I’d recommend “I Hit It With My Axe” from The Escapist. A word of warning, though: everyone who plays is in some form of adult entertainment, and though that’s not the focus of the show, it is occasionally mentioned.

2. Critical Hit
I really enjoy the Critical Hit 4e podcast at MajorSpoilers.com.

3. GrumpyGM
Hi Johnn!
Here’s a link to a very decent gaming ‘cast, GrumpyGM.
- Thomas M.
GrumpyGM is a number of different games that include (and are generally run by) one or more members of the Chronicles: Pathfinder Podcast.
For new players or DMs who are getting into D&D through D&D Encounters I recommend you check out the actual play podcasts in our D&D Encounters Archive. A new episode is posted after every weekly session. It’s also a good way for players joining the D&D Encounters mid-way through the season to get caught up on the story.
