Cleveland Gaming Podcast

One more season is in the books with this final episode of the Cleveland Gaming Podcast. Joined by two guests (fellow show runner Kathleen and show Emcee Jaren) the team looks back, forward and sideways at the Cleveland Gaming Classic to muse on what's in store for everyone at #CGC26. Plus, we wrap up our Bracketology with the final 4 picks while things get a bit scary. But totally like in the fun ways we promise!

CGP is sponsored by #sony and their coming video game movie adaptation #residentevil. See it when it hits theaters September 18th 2026.

Dust off those 3.5 DnD books, grab your pouch of number rocks and bring that 2 litter of Mountain Dew because CGC is rolling up some role play in this episode of CGP. This week we are joined by Alana and Kevin, two of our paragons involved with TTRPG programing at the show, to dive into that world of fantasy and social engagement. Listen in as we all discuss our history with TTRPGs, explore what it means to us and end with a character design end of episode engagement that will get you to dust off that old lute and comb out your scales!
