They have a rotating cast but a constant brilliant story
As a long time D&D player, I know how the game tends to have peaks and lulls. AJ and the crew do an excellent job of editing to keep the pace moving without making it feel pressured or unnatural. There’s a great balance of action/spell explanation for new players or listeners and player driven story. The format keeps things fresh without being jarring. All in all, I am thoroughly enjoying Pretending With Dice and I can’t wait to see how it continues to grow and change!

Really well put together D&D live play show. Mostly 5E but have done a range of game systems (the star wars arc is insanely well produced). Focusing on storytelling, atmosphere & fun over maps & strict rules with music and fx written by the DM it's a pleasure to listen to. Do yourself a back flip, shoot the crime boss in the face, pick a start episode and subscribe now.
