Description
All tabletop RPGs require some improv, but what if you lean into the improv as much as possible? Join our cast of trained improvisers and tabletop enthusiasts as we switch off between short-form and long-form RPG campaigns using a whole slew of different game systems, all with an emphasis on collaborative discovery and high-quality performance.
”Short-form campaigns”, you ask? In these campaigns, we create and explore a brand-new world from scratch every month using the Fate Accelerated RPG system! When we sit down to record, nobody—not even the GM—knows who their characters are, or what the story is going to look like.
”Long-form campaigns”, you continue? These are more like the campaigns you’re probably used to, with a consistent set of characters adventuring over an extended number of sessions. Which RPG system will we play next? Who knows! We’ll just find out as we go.
Episodes release every Wednesday. Content is non-explicit.
If your podcatcher uses seasons, here’s what appears in each season:
• S1: Fate Accelerated Campaigns
• S2: Ten Thousand Things (Avatar Legends)
• S3: Blades in the Daofei (Blades in the Dark/Avatar Legends)
• S4: Varrick World (Avatar Legends)
• S100: Bonus episodes, including CYOA books, cast interviews, improv discussions, and anything else not directly related to any of the other seasons.

What makes Improv Tabletop so special? Well, the big details are in the episode, but we'll sum it up here. It boils down to two things.
First, unlike most tabletop shows, this show is totally, completely, 100% improvised. Everybody, even the GM, is coming to the table with a clean slate, so EVERYTHING you're hearing is made up on the spot.
Second, we're playing a wonderful (yet sadly underrepresented) game system called Fate Accelerated (FAE). We love playing all kinds of tabletop games here at Improv Tabletop, but we found FAE to be perfect for our improvised format.
So join us as we create a brand new world from scratch every month!
