Dungeons & Dragons
4.3
(34)
"Dungeon Master Guide actually has everything you need in terms of tools, it's sad it's so overlooked."
"I would highly recommend Dragon of Icefire Peak as a good pre-written module."
"Curse of Strahd, set in Ravenloft, is a great adventure. It's moody, theatrical, and feels incredibly creepy."
"Rise of the Runwlord and Night Below are two of the best written d&d adventures out there if you’re likely to play long term."
"The Dragon of Icespire Peak is just about the most accessible D&D game on the market."
"Naturally, Lost Mines of Phandelver is the classic 5e starter campaign."
"I picked up Eberron Renewed the last time I saw a thread asking this question and I also can't recommend it enough!"
"Sunless Citadel is a dungeon that has everything you want, kobolds, goblins, undead, a dragon, combat, politics, negotiations."
"I’ve heard from just about everywhere that Curse of Strahd is amazing and one of, if not the best one."
"Curse of Strahd. Love that module."

Mythic Game Master Emulator 2nd Edition
4.8
(5)
"Mythic GME 2e is great."
"I'd suggest Mythic 2e and/or Plot Unfolding Machine along with Scene Unfolding Machine."
"Mythic, The Solo Adventurer's Toolkit, and/or Gamemasters Apprentice deck are recommended."
"Mythic GME 2e is all you need. There's even a great app."
"I use mythic and chatgp but a lot of people recommend The solo Adventurers Toolbox."
#3
The Adventure Zone
5.0
(4)
"The adventure zone (balance ark) hands down one of my favorite d&d podcasts it's goofy and emotional 10/10"
"Adventure zone and hero squad are personal favorites"
"The adventure zone balance!"
"TAZ, naddpod, rude tales of magic, fun city, dungeons and daddies, are all fantastic"
#4
Dungeons and Daddies
4.8
(4)
"Dungeons and daddies for sure, it gets straight into it so you don’t have to worry about your first hour being introductions"
"Dungeons and Daddies. LOVE that one."
"Dungeons and daddies is in my opinion the best dnd podcast, followed by Nadpod."
"Dungeons and Daddies is a much better draw for people with no experience in D&D"
#5
Mörk Borg
4.5
(4)
"If Dungeons and Dragons is metal, Mork Borg is a screeching train rushing by just inches from your ears."
"100%, no doubt, check out Mork Borg."
"Conan for longer play, Mörk Borg for crazy one shots."
"The first three that came to my mind are Troika!, Ultraviolet Grasslands and the Black City and Mork Borg."
#6
Numenera
4.3
(4)
"I second Numenera. It’s more science fantasy than pure fantasy, but it explicitly encourages weirdness."
"Numenera, Troika!, Ultraviolet Grasslands 2e."
"Numenera and its underlying system is definitely worth checking out."
"+1 for Numenera. It's science-fantasy weird."
#7
Troika!
4.3
(3)
"Troika! is so good. The backgrounds are evocative, with their descriptions doing some great implied worldbuilding."
"For Fantasy that is weird, I recommend Troika!, Dungeon Crawl Classics, or Hyperborea."
"So, in the Fantasy/Weird/Not-too-crunchy category... the first three that came to my mind are Troika!, Ultraviolet Grasslands and the Black City and Mork Borg."

Dungeons & Dragons Starter Kit
4.3
(3)
"The DnD starter kit on YouTube is an excellent entry point"
"Start box/essentials kit has everything you really need, and any of the low level module books are a good starting point for first time DM's."
"Yes, they bundle it as the essentials kit. I'm currently wrapping up a Lost Mine campaign and my players will be heading right into Dragon of Icespire at level 5."
#10
Earthdawn
4.3
(3)
"Medieval but weird? EARTHDAWN is what you’re looking for."
"There is an edition of Earthdawn, The Age of Legend, which uses a permutation of a universal system, Freeform Universal."

#17
Wizards of the Coast
4.0
(2)
"Been playing a Ravnica campaign and I really enjoy it. It's a very cool setting where magic is commonplace."
"The Magic: The Gathering world of Ravnica might be a good option. It has a 5e sourcebook so that helps and the card game has visited the world three times now"
