One Shot Podcast Network is a network of podcast series about tabletop role-playing games, with many shows dedicated to actual play, interviews, and discussion. It was founded by James D'Amato to showcase a wide variety of games and systems, including indie role-playing games, as an alternative to actual play shows that focus exclusively on Dungeons & Dragons.[1][2]

The network has won multiple ENNIE Awards.[3][4] As of April 2023, the network was funded by collective monthly contributions of $6,699 per month from 1,046 users on Patreon.[5]

One Shot is the flagship show of the network. D'Amato typically runs a self-contained actual play of a different game system each week, with occasional multi-episode storylines.[6] Episodes last about an hour. Em Friedman for Polygon recommended One Shot as one of the best actual play podcasts that don't use DnD.[7] In 2020, fantasy author Patrick Rothfuss collaborated with One Shot to produce an actual play series set in the world of The Kingkiller Chronicle.[8]

Asians Represent! both highlights the work of Asian creators and holds analytical conversations about the depiction of Asian people and cultures in tabletop role-playing games. It is hosted by Daniel Kwan and Agatha Cheng.[9][10] Asians Represent! won the 2020 and 2021 Gold ENNIE Awards for Best Podcast.[3][4] It was also nominated in 2019.[11]
