  • This show made me communist and gay

    It’s hard to put into words how much this show means to me. It’s been in my life since covid and I’m now writing my MA thesis on it. Guess I finally owe you guys the 5-star rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  • Seriously How Are They This Good?!?

    Love me a let’s play podcast. Been listening to this one since Partizan. Yes, that’s right, I finally cracked and listened to epic mecha roleplay. Started it, got tired of waiting for the next episode so dove into the backlog. I’ve listened to it all. Some of it twice. Some of it thrice.

    The tagline is what you get. Critical Worldbuilding, Smart Characterization, and Fun Interaction Between Good Friends. If those things interest you, you’re in the right place.

    I recommend Partizan, and Sangfie... more

  • Today Is a Monday

    Over three years later and Connadine’s speech still sends chills up my spine. Give this show your undivided attention and the people who make it will show you beauty and care in spades.

  • I tried…

    This had great potential and went to the first episode of Partizan to check it out. After 50! minutes the players had talked less than 10 minutes and it was all monologuing “world building” by the GM. It was not actual play, it was not collaborative, it was story time with dense amounts of lore to try and internalize. I love a good world but this was ridiculous. I’m sure it’s for somebody (given their stated subscribers which I also heard about before a single scene played out), just definitely ... more
