I just started watching it after seeing someone comment about it, and I really like it, but the show is so short that I'll probably be done by the end of the week

Does anyone have any other recommendations?

I have never actually played any ttrpg, but I got the itch now and I have to scratch it while I look for groups to actually play it

I'm actually glad to hear about different playing styles, it's always good to expand your horizons. I'll check them out, thanks

If there are specific genres you enjoy it's worth searching for podcasts that are of that genre - the 3 key parts of a ttrpg are that a group of people gather to create the experience (the tabletop), that there are some form of rules to structure their interaction (the game), and that you play a role - any role. It's not just knights and wizards or space knights and space wizards, it's hardboiled film noir detectives, little old ladies investigating murders, 13th century peasants dying of dysentery, or even yourself performing real life actions as part of a role, so if there's any particular type of story you're interested in someone has made it into a ttrpg and someone else has recorded a podcast of it being played.
