  • Kind of a drag

    As AP's go, there are far better out there. The sound quality is poor (the game is a recorded Skype call, not at the table, with zero editing and only one mic) and the players just aren't very good; they frequently ruin the atmosphere of scenes with unfunny jibes, or drag things out waaaaay too long with pointless bickering.

  • Vastly entertaining

    Rarely stumbling, the Microphones of Madness crew provide powerful insight into the often murky world of "nerdom." Never afraid to voice their opinions and to go against the prevailing "wisdom" on the subjects that they cover.

    The APs are vastly entertaining, whether it's the pulp feel of Call of Cthulhu: Masks of Nyarlathotep, the dark brooding of Eclipse Phase: Ozymandias, or the modern take on the Call of Cthulhu Classic: Shadows of Yog Sothoth, they are a gamer's delight.
