EnglishWhat Is The Adventuring Party Website?
Updated
The Adventuring Party website (theadventuringparty.libsyn.com) is the podcast home of The Adventuring Party, a show described as "Talking about Gaming the Irish Way!" It publishes episode posts about tabletop roleplaying games and related hobbies, and it keeps an archive of past episodes organized by category and by month going back to 2009. Use it if you want to browse or listen to the show's episodes and read short summaries of what each one covers.
What you'll find on the site
The site is built around episode posts. Each post typically includes:
- An episode number and title — for example, "The Adventuring Party - Episode 830."
- A date — episodes are dated, and the archive is grouped by year and month.
- The participants — who was on that episode (for example, "Shane and Dave") and who edited it.
- A short description of the topic — a paragraph or two on what the group discussed.
- Links to games mentioned — some posts include links to the games or products discussed.
The navigation includes About, Blog, Episodes, All Episodes, Categories, Podcasts, and Updates / Blog. The archive lists months from December 2009 through February 2025, so the back catalogue is extensive.
Examples of episode topics
The recent episode posts give a clear sense of the show's range:
| Episode | Date | Topic |
|---|---|---|
| Episode 830 – Polymorph | Feb 16, 2025 | Reskinning in RPGs — whether a bear can be a dragon, or a paladin a Jedi, by reinterpreting game mechanics |
| Episode 829 – Engineering | Jan 27, 2025 | Mecha resurgence — recent experiences with tabletop mech games, with links to Lancer and BattleTech |
| Campaign – The Enemy With Part 5 | Jan 22, 2025 | A campaign discussion series, "The Empire In Ruins" |
| DEX | Jan 2025 | Character flexibility in RPGs |
| TAP 826 – General List Seven-ish | Jan 2025 | A general discussion/list episode |
These titles show the show mixes system-level design talk (reskinning, character flexibility), actual-play and campaign discussion, and genre coverage such as mech games.
How to use the site
- Start with the Episodes or All Episodes page to see the full list, or use Categories if you want a particular type of episode.
- Pick a month from the archive if you want to browse chronologically; the sidebar lists every month from December 2009 onward.
- Open an episode post to read the summary and see any game links before deciding to listen.
- Check the About page for background on the show and its hosts.
One practical note: the site displays a "Preview Mode" banner stating that links will not work in preview mode. If links on episode posts don't respond, that banner explains why — it's a site display state, not a broken link on your end.
What the site does not tell you
The available page content does not state pricing, subscription options, or whether listening requires an account. It also doesn't list a complete host roster; individual posts name only the participants for that episode. For those details, check the About page and the podcast listing itself rather than assuming the show is free or account-free.
If your goal is to find a specific topic — reskinning mechanics, mech games, or campaign-building — the episode summaries and the category view are the fastest route. If you just want to start listening, begin with the most recent episodes and work backward through the archive.
