In recent years, the tabletop role-playing game (TTRPG) industry has seen a surge of new podcasts featuring actual play sessions. These podcasts have attracted both newcomers and experienced fans alike, creating a vibrant community that celebrates the genre’s fast-paced storytelling. Now, a group of experienced players have taken the plunge and formed their own podcast—Worlds Beyond Number.
Worlds Beyond Number is the brainchild of three well-known TTRPG heads—Allison, Drew, and Marcus—all of whom have significant actual play experience. The trio has crafted the podcast in the hopes of giving back to the TTRPG community by offering listeners a unique take on how their stories are told.
The podcast focuses on highlighting individual playing styles and featuring top-notch players in the genre. Allison is the mastermind behind most of the show’s original stories, while Marcus and Drew bring their individual styles to the table to provide a unique spin. All three hosts have an understanding of the nuances of telling stories in games like Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, Shadow of the Demon Lord, Starfinder, and more.
Each episode features a different set of players, which allows for some truly creative story-telling. The podcast format also allows for deeper dives into a given scenario, providing fans with an in-depth look into how each game plays out. And, of course, there are plenty of humorous interactions and memorable moments for listeners to enjoy.
Worlds Beyond Number has certainly made an impact in the world of TTRPG podcasts. Already, the show has earned a legitimately impressive fanbase and quite a few rave reviews from experienced players. What’s more, the podcast recently announced that it has been approved for iTunes, making it more widely available to players that don’t already have access to the app.
