  • My Favorite Podcast of. All. Time. (understatement)

    I absolutely love this show! The DMing is incredible, Jeffrey, your hilarious comments and intros always bring a goblin reminiscent toothy smile to my face. In fact, all of the players do an exceptional job at role playing, and also have fun together. Among many (when I say many, I mean many) other draws to this podcast, the fact that the jokes are all family-friendly is just the icing on the cake. Don’t ever change, guys and girl.

    I cannot stop listening to this podcast! It is seriously the BEST D&D podcast I’ve listened to. The sound design is incredible, the characters are unbelievably believable, and each of their arcs is amazing. The story is amazing and everyone knows what they are doing. I am seriously a HUGE fan. Totally clean too which is a massive plus.
