I miss when I was younger and carefree, and had more time to play RPGs.

Recently I found a way to experience an RPGs despite not having the time to play. There are podcasts where you can follow groups playing a campaign (actual play). After trying a couple, I settled on this one as my favorite:

https://glasscannonpodcast.com/

Following the rules of the Pathfinder (and soon Starfinder!!!) RPG System, The Glass Cannon Network endeavors to create weekly captivating epic fantasy stories accessible to gamers and non-gamers alike. Interweaving immersive storytelling with irreverent, improvised humor, the GM and players deliver the experience of what it’s really like to sit around a table rolling dice with your closest friends. Professional high-quality audio, complex and memorable three-dimensional characters, instructional elements designed to enlighten both new and veteran players, and a commitment to community-building amongst their fans all combine to make The Glass Cannon an exciting new voice in podcasting.

The Glass Cannon Podcast is a Pathfinder campaign (basically D&D 3.5). The GM and players have acting experience and very funny. I had some LOL moments in the first few episodes - some funny stuff about the party rating an Inn poorly because of the number of traps found there. And some NSFW comments about scissoring between a female blacksmith and her partner.

So it is funny, and they explain the rules from time to time without being boring about it. What I like about RPGs - the storytelling, and finding out what is behind that next door.

Any other good podcasts like this?

I think the comedian Brian Posehn had one called Nerd Poker?

Episode 1 of our new campaign is here for everyone:
