After finding my self enjoying Happy Jacks Actual Plays, I wonder if people have good suggestions about other fun Actual Plays (preferably available via itunes).
All kinds of games are welcome, but I'm really curious about rules heavy games like DnD4e and Pathfinder. Can games with minis, battle maps and one million dice be fun Actual Plays?

I'd actually love to hear an actual play of a supers game. It is something I have never run or played in but that many MANY people speak fondly of.
In Hero System/Champions of course.

RPPR (Roleplaying Public Radio, actualplay.roleplayingpublicradio.com/) does good APs in various systems. Last I checked they had a supers game running and an Eclipse Phase game running. They also seem to really like to return to Call of Cthulhu and Delta Green, which are fun. Another AP that I really enjoyed listening to was "At Sixes and Sevens," a Changeling: The Lost AP by Flaming Sofa Productions (http://flamingsofaproductions.blogspot.com/). They've stopped updating unfortunately, but the episodes that they do have up are pretty interesting. I haven't listened to their newer Chronicle yet. I'm pretty certain that RPPR is available on iTunes, but I don't know about At Sixes and Sevens. Their RSS on the site that I've linked should suffice, though.

The guys at Gamerstable do Openly Gamer Theater. Its a really special kind of Let's Play that is more akin to a radio dramas from the old days. Lots of good Post production(especially on the Star Wars one), sound effects, guest voice actors, and stuff like that. Openly Gamer Theater podcastScroll down to the Spreaker link(the 2nd set of links, click the down arrow box) in each post if you want reliable downloads. They have: Victoriana Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic(almost all Sith characters) D&D 3.5 I believe they have regular non-dramatized shows as well, but I'm hooked on these that I listed and am making my way through them.

RPPR is one of my favorites. Their supers game is in Wild Talents (so there's one with millions of dice . The Ecplipse Phase one was really cool (a very crunchy system). They did a DND 4 campaign that lasted ages. The Gutter Skypes is fun, they tend toward more rules-light systems (FATE, Fiasco, QAGS) Of Steam Steel and Murder does a really good FATE (Spirit of the Century) steampunky game. (all of these are available on itunes).

I dig The Delvers. Most episodes are short, well-edited nuggets, which I appreciate. However, the current episode is a longer one, featuring an amusing run through Tomb of Horrors. Available via iTunes. Best superhero actual play I've heard is Knights of Reignsborough. Sadly, new episodes were promised long ago but have yet to appear. Still, the first (only) season has a satisfying conclusion. Also, the group world-building episodes are very enjoyable and informative. Knights was originally presented through the feed for Funnybooks with Aron and Paulie, which is available via iTunes. Not sure if the Knights episodes are still available via iTunes or if they were since bumped from the queue. Edit: Just discovered they're now representing past episodes of Knights. Maybe we'll hear Season 2?

The folks at Fandible have a lot of good actual plays. Some highlights, in my opinion, are the Unhallowed Metropolis games, their Rogue Trader campaign, and for those not faint of heart, their Monster Hearts demo. I'd like to specifically point out some deep cuts from the RPPR feed. Adam Scott Glancy does some outstanding historical scenarios, including U-boote Heraus! and The Night Mission. Additionally, Lover in the Ice, a modern-day Delta Green scenario; and The Dangers of Fraternization, a noir game set in post-WWII occupied Berlin. And for true lunacy, you have to listen to Gaga 2.0. It's a good pain.

Critical Hits at MajorSpoilers.com is a favorite part of my list. Their sessions are broken down into segments of about an hour. Its D&D4.

I've been partial to the YSDC( www.yog-sothoth.com ) crews CoC sessions of the various Chaosium Campaigns that have been released. Very Listenable and fun. The sessions usually don't go above 2 1/2 hours, usually a lot less than that. All the players have families and jobs etc, so can't do 6 hour sessions anymore.

As others have said RPPR's stuff is the best... I love the Caleb Stokes stuff start with. Bryson Springs- Call of Cthulhu The dangers of fraternization- Dirty world Lover in the Ice- Delta Green Call of Cthulhu (explicit) Also this fear itself game by Ross Payton is very good. Its on their main feed instead of their actual play feed because its older: slangdesign.com/rppr/2008/10/actual-play/in-case-you-missed-it-fear-itself-actual-play/For campaigns Ross Payton's wild talents supers campaign is very good and the eclipse phase know evil game that Caleb Stokes ran is also very good. Incidently if you like the stuff Caleb Stokes runs you can get 3 of his adventures on drive thru rpg for free or at his website: hebanongames.com/. Sorry I know that sounds like an ad but I love there stuff its great and free. You should check it out.

Nerd Poker with Brian Posehn is fun and well produced. Sort of short at just over an hour a piece but they' ve got a pretty substantial backlog at this point.

I think they've come along way towards becoming invested in a 'wildly unpredictable' story. The DM Sark is very willing to take the characters to often unexpected places and provides a good example of setting a scene and then allowing them to go in whatever direction they want. But, with definite consequences from their chosen course of action. "For Glenishmoor!"

I just listened to the first part of the Monsterhearts demo, it is excellent. Thanks for pointing that AP out.
