Plus a new sketch and Our Favorite Game in All the World!

This week, Russ (who still has the plague) and Peter count down the Top 20 RPG Podcasts with the 10 best Actual Play podcasts and 10 best RPG talk podcasts! 9,099 votes on 99 nominated podcasts! In the news, Pathfinder Playtest closes, a new D&D class coming to Unearthed Arcana, the most popular games on Fantasy Grounds of 2018, and more!
