  • Truly one of the best

    This show is everything that anyone should strive to be in the tabletop space. Truly a masterfully crafted show that does so much for the community. Personally I'd absolutely LOVE to see Matthew Lillard on the show talking games and having fun. Nothing better.

  • My favorite TTRPG podcast

    If I want to check out a new system, the very first thing that I do is check whether there’s a Party of One episode about it—and Jeff pulls in such an incredible diversity of games, that quite frequently, there is! He and his guests do an incredible job showcasing the mechanics, displaying what makes the system special, and telling a tight compelling narrative—somehow in an hour and a half, every time. It’s truly amazing stuff.
