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
Great story, great characters, wonderful cast.
And Silvertooth is a fantastic storyteller. Give this one a listen. And please keep the audio version coming!✌️❤️🌈
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.

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!
