  • Awesome team story telling

    I am looking to run this game with a group and I enjoy listening yo plays before running. Only 5 episodes in but this is a great cast. All great story tellers on their own but with this type of RPG it leaves a lot of room for team story telling and this group does an amazing job of making sure everyone participates in the story. Awesome cast and very enjoyable.

  • So Much Fun

    A phenomenal real-play podcast. The cast are incredibly fun to listen to and the show itself / story is very easy to digest which I appreciate. Although the show is episodic, not a series of one-shots, which requires some follow-along you could almost just pick up at any point and feel like you’re in the story. The players do a great job at portraying their characters and everything flows very naturally, which is a great job on the gamemaster’s part. Great work! I can’t wait to see where things ... more

  • Great Like a Warm Cup of Tea

    The story is best described as a slice of life with dash of crime. The characters and their light hearted antics, which include kidnapping a cephalopod, balances the shows serious foundation of giant corporations obliterating smaller rivals, in a quest to create a bland culture that can be easily commodified and sold.

    Overall this show has been a delightful surprise. The premise, a local tea shop’s struggles to take back a contract from a national tea chain, creates a fun, intimate, and focu... more
