  • My favorite game

    I absolutely love this podcast. It is a lot funnier than I had expected. I love the constant feud between Jeremy and Jeffery.

    (P.S. I love all of Jeremy’s characters but Lauric is my favorite character.)

  • 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.
