  • Best selection and execution of indie TTRPG short campaigns

    I love the games that My First Dungeon chooses. I have been able to preview games on my to run list many times with these folks. It always gets me more excited to run new systems. The interviews are helpful and fun. The casts are great. I appreciate the atmospheric but not overpowering audio. Many thanks!

  • Highly Produced Actual Plays at the Highest Level

    The Wildsea limited series was one of the 3 or 4 greatest audio plays of any kind. The performances we true acting, the GM was clear and dramatic, the balance of rules/roleplay was perfect, and the sound effects and music were at the level of the great Hollywood radio dramas of the past. Amazing work!

  • Hooting, hollering, and an educational resource

    This is one of those ones that has me laughing or gasping or making facial expressions on a bus that probably cause some idle entertainment for people around me. But also the game designer interviews esp are a hugely helpful tool for helping introduce a game to friends who want to play but don’t have the time to read all of a PDF.
