The Glass Cannon Podcast
Interweaving immersive storytelling with irreverent, improvised humor, the Glass Cannon Podcast delivers like no other the experience of what it's really like to sit around a table playing role-playing games with your best buds. Founded in 2015, the Glass Cannon Podcast has risen to prominence as one of the most recognized and celebrated Actual Play podcasts in the world. While the hosts were raised on D&D and started off with mostly Pathfinder podcasts, the past decade has seen the Network evolve to produce shows featuring every tabletop RPG under the sun.
In May of 2022, the original Pathfinder 1E Giantslayer adventure came to an end and the previously unreleased podcast episodes of the Strange Aeons live tour were added. In September of 2023, Campaign Two began as GM and Glass Cannon Network CEO Troy Lavallee led a crew of network founders Joe O'Brien, Skid Maher and Matthew Capodicasa along with fan-favorites Sydney Amanuel and Kate Stamas through the Pathfinder 2E Gatewalkers Adventure Path. In 2025, the highly anticipated Campaign Three begins as well as a brand new homebrewed live tour - Ascension!
