Not Another D&D Podcast is an actual-play show built around ongoing Dungeon & Dragons 5th edition campaigns, told as multi-episode story arcs rather than one-shots. Dungeon Master Brian Murphy runs the table for regular players Emily Axford, Caldwell Tanner, and Jake Hurwitz, with Axford also composing and performing the show's score. Recent campaigns include Gangs of Neo Galaderon, a cyberpunk heist storyline involving rival gangs, forged invitations, and a corporate mayor's gala, and a run through Curse of Strahd in the vampire-ruled land of Barovia. Episodes combine detailed combat recaps and in-character roleplay with the cast's comedic asides and reactions to how a scene played out at the table. Beyond the main campaign, the show produces recurring side formats: D&D Court, in which three hosts act as 'justices' ruling on listener-submitted disputes over DM decisions and player conduct while Jake Hurwitz serves as bailiff, and Rot Topic, a panel discussion that explores pop-culture history topics like the McDonaldland mascot universe. Hearthside Chat episodes function as listener Q&A and behind-the-scenes recaps, where the cast reflects on recent campaign turns and previews upcoming storylines. The tone throughout stays comedic and improvisational, even during high-stakes combat or emotional campaign beats. Episodes generally run 60 to 85 minutes and are released alongside occasional live, on-the-road shows. Listeners already familiar with D&D 5e rules and terminology will follow the rules debates and DM advice most closely, though the character work and humor are accessible to non-players too. The show suits longtime tabletop RPG fans who want serialized, character-driven storytelling paired with genuine rules discussion rather than a single-session format.
Made for: Dungeon & Dragons players and actual-play podcast listeners who enjoy serialized campaign storytelling, comedic banter, and rules-focused DM advice segments.
What sets it apart: Beyond its ongoing D&D campaigns, the show runs two distinct recurring formats not centered on the main story — the listener-dispute rulings of D&D Court and the non-D&D pop-culture deep dives of Rot Topic.
