Hosts Zach and Diana create such a warm and inviting show. They depict RPG play in an honest way while weaving compelling stories. And there are just enough tangental conversations about holidays, Portugal, and whatever else peppered around the games to let the audience feel connected to the pair. This is a show where you don’t feel like an audience. You feel like you’re sitting at the table with the hosts, making friends.

Are you looking for a show with unique worldbuilding and delightful characters, that also happens to be adorable and wholesome AF? Then Heart Points is a must listen. Zach and Diana have amazing chemistry and weave beautiful stories together. From the Segurança campaign to many playful one-shots, you’re guaranteed to have a very, very nice day.

Listening to a married couple play tabletop is magical! It's often incredibly hard to get across how it feels to play a game with only one other person. People look at you like you asked to eat their wallet. "Can you do that?", they ask, confused. Heart Points not only spins wonderful, vivid stories in many tabletop systems. But also gets across what it actually feels like to play them. To be the only two people in a room, telling a story together. There's laughter, pauses, and nervousness. But also brilliant moments, intensity, and inspired creativity. It's what I love about tabletop roleplaying. I started with the recent Halloween special and have been slowly making my way through the rest. If you want to hear what it's like with just two people, I think you should too.

Start for the indie RPGs they play, stay for the cool world building and neat stories.

I love listening to these two have fun and play games together. The Segurança campaign is a true work of creative art, with a bunch of potential sitting in the head of Zack, the GM. Diana, the player, keeps things fun, light-hearted, and forever interesting. Give this podcast a listen if you enjoy smart storytelling and deep, emotional gameplay.

I love listening to these two play games together. Because they are married they have a playful intimacy that is seldom heard anywhere else. I feel like I gain temporary heart points every time I listen. Even though they deal with scary or violent situations sometimes (especially the Halloween specials) it still ends up being a very feel good show because you can tell they are having a lot of fun together.

It can be hard to find good TTRPG podcasts that manage to walk that fine line between too dramatic and too full of goofs. Heart Points doesn't just walk that line, they dance all along it and make their listeners dance with them as they do. The chemistry between them is palpable, and it's obvious that they are both invested in the game and in each other. Light hearted, but developed; sweet, but not insubstantial - 10/10 so glad I found this podcast!

One of the best actual plays out there! Great worldbuilding and the chemistry is unbeatable. I'm biased to 1:1 actual plays as I host my own, and this is one of the best...don't miss it!

A recent listener, but I've already listened to every single episode so far. The current campaign follows a story of a beautiful city with a bubbling discourse brewing between it's guild leaders. Ção, the runaway daughter of another town's guild leader, arrives to the city of Segurança and proceeds to do what any hero would do. Get into trouble and meddle with politics Short synopsis aside, these two are a delight to listen to. From Zach's expert story weaving and world building that makes you believe you're familair with the city, to Diana's fun and sometimes bonkers way of handling problems. You can't help but smile as this lovely couple tells a beautiful story together [and honestly you can definitely hear the love between them too, every time Zach says "How are you my darling?" I just smile] If you like RPG's, immersive stories, ~romance~, adventure, basically all the good feelings you get when experiencing an adventure, give these guys a shot. Ever since listening to them I've been having a nice day [but like, a really nice one.] Love you guys and please keep up the awesome work!

Something about the way Diana, the player, made her character authentically surprising at every turn kept me mainlining episodes after a friend had recommended I give them a listen. I'm new to RPGs, a performer/writer and lover of stories, and the moments that really thrill are all the little ways the main character is just allowed to be herself. It's endearing, it's engaging, and it's a very entertaining listen. Zack is an earnest, hard-working GM and the two of them take great care of their audience as they unravel this seemingly infinite story. It's lovely, it's fun, and highly recommended extemporaneous storytelling.

This couple is a really stellar example of a fun and happy actual play podcast. If you had any doubts that two people could have an excellent and entertaining time playing an RPG, this is the show that will destroy those doubts. If you've had enough of the super super serious APs out there, and maybe you want just one serious mixed with one fun but the fun is extra fun but there's also still depth, this is your show.

I’ve recently been playing more one-on-one games with my husband and it’s lead to some of my favorite sessions. I love listening to this couple play a ton of awesome games and really enjoy what they’re doing. I highly recommend giving hem a listen!

oh man, this podcast has great sound quality and the hosts themselves are very entertaining to listen to. they're both very creative and it is nice to listen to a couple that both enjoy RPGs. a good listen for a more lighthearted romp throguh roleplaying.

I love the chemistry between them. You can hear the affection in their voices when they speak to eachother. RedPanda Theif is my heart animal. This is such a great podcast. I was incredibly charmed by the hosts, and I was very pleased with the audio quality. Many live shows struggle with that. I will be eagerly listening for more!!

This show is just too cute. You can tell that they both really care about this podcast and, honestly, each other. Also, the gameplay is great. I get nervous sometimes when it's just one player character, but Diana is such a smart player who also has a lot of fun. And Zack is a great GM as well, letting Diana wander but also able to hint to her what she might want to be doing instead. Just, like I said, a very well done, very cute actual play podcast.

I absolutely adore Heart Points. Zack’s strong world building and Diana’s enthusiastic acting bring me back to their feed every time. Diana’s connection to the emotionally well being of the NPC’s around Çao (and the list of romance options) breathes life into Zack’s Portuguese influenced campaign. Every episode I eagerly await to hear what secret is to be found in the city of Segurança. Also ÇaoxOmin OTP 💖

I'm a big fan of one-on-one podcasts, so I'm glad to have discovered a new one! I especially like Diana's creativity and imagination when it comes to her character actions. Both Zack and Diana do a great job with the Dungeon World system, making the whole experience breezy and fun.

I listened to this podcast on the recommendation of a friend and I'm glad I did. Obviously, they have great chemistry but they're also genuinely funny and the podcast is different enough to not get lost in the swarm of my other rpg related content. Definitely a great way to break up my listen list.

This couple is adorable. It's obvious they're having fun together. It's rare to see games with just one player for the DM, but it's very interesting! Unlike a lot of games, they seem to just enjoy messing with each other and trying to break the game in a very fun way. Even in their live show, the audio quality is pretty clear and honestly, I really enjoy their voices. I especially love our wife's voice.

Just discovered this podcast and it is some great fun! It’s not easy to have a 2-person RPG, but they found a way. The Dungeon World system is always interesting and it allows them to focus on the story without sacrificing much in the way of combat. And these people are just too good together.

Super fun, bite-sized episodes of an RPG played by an entertaining couple. An excellent game with the right mix of under-the-hood and out-of-left-field. Great for anyone into or intrigued by role-playing games.

The two hosts are great, and the storytelling is just as good. Such a fun and easy podcast to listen to even if you're not familiar with RPGs.

It's fun. It's interesting. Great worldbuilding and great interaction between a very cute couple. This gives me hope that one day my wife will break down and RP with me. Only a handful of episodes in and I'm hooked. I want to see this podcast continue. I want to know more about this unique fantasy setting that they are creating. And I also want to keep having a very very nice day!

An adorable couple with light hearted banter that strings along a make your own adventure storyline? Of course I would love it. It definitely perks up my long drives. My only regret, it's so new that I can't binge listen to the campaign. Also it's a great introduction to what a table top role playing game is, and how it's possible to "roll" with it when it comes to having fun making your own story. I am indeed having a "very very nice day" listening to it.

These two hosts are so adorable. I love their dynamic personalities and the way they play off of each other's energy. Enjoyable for all to listen to. Gaming experience not required.
