Description
Interweaving immersive storytelling with irreverent, improvised humor, the Glass Cannon Podcast delivers like no other the experience of what it's really like to sit around a table playing role-playing games with your best buds. Founded in 2015, the Glass Cannon Podcast has risen to prominence as one of the most recognized and celebrated Actual Play podcasts in the world. While the hosts were raised on D&D and started off with mostly Pathfinder podcasts, the past decade has seen the Network evolve to produce shows featuring every tabletop RPG under the sun.
In May of 2022, the original Pathfinder 1E Giantslayer adventure came to an end and the previously unreleased podcast episodes of the Strange Aeons live tour were added. In September of 2023, Campaign Two began as GM and Glass Cannon Network CEO Troy Lavallee led a crew of network founders Joe O'Brien, Skid Maher and Matthew Capodicasa along with fan-favorites Sydney Amanuel and Kate Stamas through the Pathfinder 2E Gatewalkers Adventure Path. In 2025, the highly anticipated Campaign Three begins as well as a brand new homebrewed live tour - Ascension!

at 46:45 did anyone else get an audio skip during Sydny's song? no timestamp jump just sounded like a skip
Heard the state of the naish last night, rip gatewalkers. I have been catching up, halfway through the releases, and it is somber to know it has to be cut. Giant Slayer, Ruins of Azlant, and Androids and Aliens have been peak GCP for me. Shame to see something with so much work, fail to meet expectations of the creators. Been around since the early days and I'll continue to be around.
is Kate forgetting to add her strength to her melee damage?
I loved listening to Sydney Screw up the pronoun game in this episode. It gives me a small amount of hope for the network. Remember when Troy Had two NPCs Scissoring in the glass cannon? peppridge farm remembers.
Fucking Strix dude..
We'll miss you Grant, hopefully you'll return some day.
Go back to church CHURCHY
RIP J'son. Troy taking shiiiit lol
This is my boom dick!
The Tunnel family bit made me crack up 🤣
The jock actual play. If you want to hear grown men have meltdowns, this one is for you. I listened to the full of the Giant Slayer arc, but I won't be continuing, there are much better actual plays out there.
From the moment somebody ended up 'in the drink', Delta Rae's "Bottom of the River" was my mental soundtrack.
Troy's intro speech to his kids was so touching. ❤️
Such a beautiful ending, I was crying near the end.
From beginning to end I've never be disappointed with an EP. Best actual play podcast ive listened to.
f-stockings what an ending!
If they only knew what 2020 had in store...
40 episodes in and I can't get enough. thank you for the great content! hope to find some people to play pathfinder with.
