  • Well thought and well produced

    I really enjoy this show. I’ve been listening a few months. Part like most is discussion of how different products and ideas fit into the hobby. For example, lots of recent discussion on how character creation choices tie to the setting (or work against it).

    Very polished presentation. Gets me excited to check out more of their work. My only prior exposure to the hosts were mentions from another podcast and Teos work on Forge of Foes.

  • Great Content, but…

    First off, both Hosts are knowledgable and full of RPG stories, but please STOP apologizing so profusely for the 50 year old content that neither of you even wrote.

I would rather have those 5 minutes hearing about G... more

  • Great DM and industry resource!

    Teos and Shawn are so knowledgeable, and they have great insights into topics that are relevant for any GM for any system. Though focus often returns to D&D, many episodes are about other systems, at least in part. Highly recommended!
