If their sister podcast Shrimp & Crits is like spending the evening hanging out with your hilarious best friends playing music and telling tall tales, Monster Hour is like curling up with a Stephen King novel in your favorite armchair.
The cast's chemistry dovetails slickly with the show's NPCs to create a vivid ensemble of characters, playing off each other with quippy dialogue, impassioned speeches, and strategy huddles worthy of IT, The Stand, or The Dark Tower.

Love this podcast! All the NPCs are so vibrant and the scenarios are so tense and exciting! Alvin is so funny, Constance is so inventive, and JR is such a scamp! I'm only on episode 38 but I'm loving it so much i wanted to come give a shout-out now! Thank you for saying where to rate this btw, i use a weird pod catcher so i didn't have a good way to rate it til you suggested pod chaser in ep 38
This is such an amazing podcast that deserves so much love- easily the best role playing podcast I have ever listened to. I would wish for quicker uploads, but what is there is absolutely amazing!!! Good luck in the new campaign!
PS Some minor rules examination could be handy with Change The Game.
I really like this series and the audio quality and lack of ads make each listening experience fantastic! and I will always be a Dorian hater
