  • One of the best out there

    Amazing, chemistry, and excellent storytelling. Some of the most pleasurable role-playing I’ve had the privilege to listen to. Incredibly engaging plots told by charismatic hosts. Even if you’re not a fan of the system, this is worth a listen.

  • Excellent RPG podcast

    All of the players are great at both RPing and GMing. The way they focus on furthering the narrative, rather than just trying to “win”, is incredible. I’m really excited to see them branch out into other systems besides Dungeon World too, as they’ve introduced me to a few really cool systems already and have done an excellent job with them. I can’t recommend them highly enough, go listen to them!

  • Excellent storytelling

    Best DW podcast out there. These guys really are a model for what great roleplaying and collaborative storytelling can achieve. They give great insight into group dynamics, roleplaying and story-building tools, and effective communication. Great entertainment and good place to learn a lot about RP. Keep up the good work

  • The Chimaera Cast is an excellent Dungeon World anthology-style series with lots of different adventures and characters. The cast is fun, evocative and engaging, and very knowledgeable on the system as well as other roleplaying games. Together they bring in lots of cool elements into their various stories, which each build on the series' mythology. The different parties of characters always feel unique, playing on fantasy archetypes in interesting ways. A very fun series of Dungeon World storie... more

  • New Favorite RPG Podcast

    Outstanding actual play podcast. As a player and DM looking for something less restrictive than D&D but with a bit more structure than Fate Core, I picked up a copy of Dungeon World a while back, but it didn't really click with me. However, after hearing this amazing podcast, DW makes so much more sense; can't wait to play a session myself. Thanks again for the high quality DMing, playing, and recording. (PS - it would be great to have access to the character playbooks one day. It'd be a cool ad... more

  • On point

    These guys are good. I didn’t have much interest in the PbtA system, but they use it so well that I’m now really interested. Great RPGing and compelling stories.

  • Amazing Dungeon World Podcast!

    I have been listening to this podcast for the last couple of months and I am really enjoying the style of this podcast. The first series was a great story, with interesting characters that don't fall into your standard victorious hero genre you most often find in these types of Podcasts. I don't want to spoil it, but listen and you will understand what I mean.

    Production value is great. The players and GM (of the first series) were great, and really put their characters in their role, an... more
