Four streamers worth your hunger

Here's a fact that should terrify you slightly less than the average episode of Hellz Kitchen: two of the people responsible for the horrors of Gormentillia spend their downtime broadcasting themselves rolling dice for strangers on the internet, for free, on purpose. Satan, Metaldicemaiden to her Twitch following, and Keira, better known there as Dungeon Peach, both livestream regularly. Which either means they can't get enough of this hobby, or it means the appetite metaphor runs deeper than the podcast. Feed the game enough and eventually it wants to eat on its own time too.

It got us thinking about who else is doing this well. Twitch is an absolute abattoir of half-finished campaigns and dead air, so when you find channels that are actually worth the follow, it's worth saying so out loud. Here are four we keep coming back to...

Catchy Cantrips — for the Worldbuilders

If your favourite part of a session is the ten minutes before combat starts, when someone describes a creature nobody's seen before and the whole table goes quiet trying to picture it, Catchy Cantrips is built for you. Ash and David run a genuinely collaborative worldbuilding stream where the community pitches homebrew creatures and Ash sketches them live, un-statted and unpolished, the way a monster should look before the Monster Manual formatting gets its hands on it. There's a separate interactive campaign running alongside it where the community plays as the setting's own fey creatures, the "tatoe tots", which is either whimsical or faintly unsettling depending on how you feel about being asked to roleplay as a vegetable with opinions.

It's a good reminder of something we bang on about constantly on this show: monsters are scarier, and worlds are stickier, when the audience helped build the teeth. Catchy Cantrips streams Saturdays at noon EST for the creature-creation sessions and Tuesdays at 7pm EST for the campaign, both on Twitch.

Robert Hartley GM — Behind the screen

Robert Hartley is, by his own admission, a maths graduate who wanted to be an actor, moved to New Zealand to try it, went to drama school, gave up, went back to university, and then discovered D&D and never looked back. That's not a résumé, that's a character backstory, and it shows in the work , a Games Master whose sessions carry the polish of someone who understands blocking, pacing, and the difference between a pause for effect and a pause because you've forgotten what the goblin's stat block says. If you've ever watched a GM deliver an NPC's line and felt genuinely unsettled by the choice of silence beforehand, that's the actor's training talking, not the improv.

His stream, worldbuilding sessions where you watch a setting get assembled in real time, and behind-the-screen deep dives into his own campaign, where he steps out from behind the GM curtain to talk through the choices he made and why. The second, Behind the screen breakdowns, most GMs will happily show you the trick, far fewer will show you the seams. He streams regularly on Twitch and posts to YouTube for anyone who prefers their tension pre-recorded and rewatchable.

Dice Circus Live — for the theatrical dread

Dungeon master Jo, welcome you to her big top ! "It's her circus, we're her monkeys" is either the best or worst thing to have painted on your streaming banner, and Dice Circus Live has committed fully to finding out which. The troupe runs games set in Valyndor, a world of shattered kingdoms and forbidden magic dressed in genuine circus-act showmanship, ringmasters, relics, the lot. There's something to be said for a table that leans this hard into performance rather than fighting it; horror and comedy both thrive on commitment, and half of what makes a table scene land is everyone agreeing, silently, to take the bit as seriously as the room needs it taken.

Catch the show live Sundays at 6pm GMT on Twitch !

The Eldritch Podblast — A Heartwarming D&D Community

Hosted by Margaret and Jack, the Eldritch Podblast is currently deep into an arc called The Ascension of Farrahdor on the podcast side, but the Twitch stream itself is a different animal, a genuinely wholesome, communal space where they field D&D questions and dole out advice to players and DMs alike, rather than pushing the campaign forward on camera. It's worth watching for anyone who wants their D&D content to actually say something rather than just happen at you. The show's built its identity around inclusivity and making the TTRPG space feel like somewhere new players are genuinely welcome, which is a harder needle to thread live and unscripted than it sounds, do it badly and it reads as a lecture, do it well and it just reads as a table full of people who actually like each other and don't mind you pulling up a chair. They stream four times a week, with the live Q&A sessions going out on Twitch Thursdays at 6pm GMT and podcast VODs landing on YouTube the Saturday after, so there's no excuse for missing an update.

Go and watch these people because the content's good, not because we told you to. The DnD internet is enormous and mostly undiscovered, full of communities that would happily have you at their table with no more invitation than showing up in the chat and saying something daft during initiative. Catchy Cantrips, Robert Hartley, Dice Circus, Eldritch Podblast, four doors into rooms full of people who like exactly the thing you like, for exactly the reasons you like it. Go knock. There are more of us out here than you think, and we're all hungry for company.
