  • Eh

    Started with the 5E Heartbreakers episode and it was full of criticism of other people’s work that could all be applied to this podcast.

  • Enjoyed but slightly gatekeepy and hypocritical

    I think these guys are very informed and resourceful - they clearly know a lot about DMing and they have a lot of relevant advice. However, I think, despite their professed attitude of inclusion to DMing in general, they ultimately come across aloof and snobbish when critiquing the DMing of others. It’s a useful resource for those who want to understand more about DMing, but they sometimes come across bitter when discussing DnD that’s in the mainstream.

    Listened in…. Thought it’s ok…. Then it shut down and asked for a cash outlay to listen to more…

    Get over yourselves, your not that good.
