  • Do yourself a favor and just download them all right now

    The guys produce top-notch content, consistently, with care. The focus is on real people actually playing RPGs, which is what the show consistently delivers.

  • Criminally Underrated

    I have very few opportunities to play TTRPGs these days, so getting to be a fly on the wall for this crew’s sessions is a delight. Through them I feel that I too have plumbed the depths of Arden Vul and tramped through the forests of Dolmenwood. 🥲
