  • just worse and worse

    the show used to be so fun. Maybe I'm just 15 years older and the "comedy" doesn't hit, but these guys are 5,10 years older than me. Anyway, ever since they went to ZOOM it sucks.

  • Good

    Just so you know hand crossbows and other weapons of the same type are loading weapons so you can only attack once pr turn even if you have 2 or more attacks available to you . So some of the stuff you do is not possible. But still great show!

    The show is great, but I wanted to say I would be happy with you doing more episodes remote again if it means everyone stays healthy.
