  • Super fun! :)

    The story feels well thought-out, yet spontaneous...wonderfully geeky escapism! Definitely looking forward to hearing more! :)

    Edit: After years of listening, it’s amazing how much the quality of the show has gone up since Ep. 1! They now have very professional sounding effects and music…always adding to the atmosphere, but never intrusive. And as always, edits are transparent, and really give the show a natural flow. (I don’t like the pauses you usually get from actual plays, as it makes eve... more

  • It took me way too long to write this and I regret it, because Bad Heroes has been one of my favorites since I first listened to them.

    This is a Pathfinder Actual Play podcast that manages in an admirable way to strike the balance between table atmosphere, including tons of shenanigans and jokes, with top notch roleplay.

    If you like story based AP podcasts that can be both funny and serious, these guys have it down. When the moment comes for some serious roleplay, everyone is ready to let the sc... more

  • Starting the weekend with a laugh

    I love to listen to Bad Heroes in the car whenever wherever I go on my first ride on Saturday. It’s a joy to start the weekend with these bunch of adventurers and with a laugh.

    I love the mysteries and build up tension. Though the cliffhangers sometimes made me wish I wasn’t up-to-date so I could continue next episode without waiting.

    I also recommended the show to irl friends. So if you’re still in doubt: just try it!
