February continues to fill our podcast feeds with even more new content, with fourteen new additions this month (that we could find!). While D&D is always a popular system to use in podcasts, this month we’re excited to see Star Wars FFG, Shadowrun, L5R, and FATE in the mix!

Goofballs and Goblins (Launched February 3)

An actual-play D&D podcast made up of theatre majors and bisexuals, with less crossover between the two groups than you’d expect. Either way, players and characters alike blunder their way through perilous battles and podcast production in this collaboration between Petty Theft Podcasts and Maked with Good Intentions.
