  • Dangerously Addictive

    I agree with others in their reviews of how dare you!? This is a great telling of this adventure. I find myself checking the actual book to gauge how much is straight play and how much time and effort this team has put into a very immersive play. Excited to keep listening.

  • Addictive and Uplifting

    It is odd to find a podcast about a group of people playing a fantasy game set in a hellscape uplifting. Until you listen to it. The cast is a group of lovely people whose decades of friendship really comes through as they struggle their way through gruesome, impossible situations all decided by rolls of the dice.

  • Fantastic dark and atmospheric. Great bunch of Chicago actors playing Pathfinder in a dark and creepy Cthulhu story. Plenty of laughs as well as some emotional moments.
