  • Incredible

    Found this show recently, and I’ve been binging the entirety of it the past few days. It’s incredible. The improv, the humor, the guests, the concept of the show - all tremendous. I’ve listened to a ton of CoC podcasts, but this is probably my favorite.

    Also, as a keeper, it’s really helpful in improving my own improv skills for failed rolls, fumbles, random stuff my players do, etc. Highly recommend!

  • It’s ok.

    Ross is brilliant as a PC on Time for Chaos, but improv GMing is not doing it for me. And in a TTRPG actual play, I don’t think the rotating cast is my cup of tea either, no matter how much I like the other guests.

    If you like improv GMs at the table you play RPGs at, you’ll probably like this. But I prefer a gm who’s prepped, and I think it translates over to which TTRPG pods I like best.

    It was worth a try, and it’s not terrible, but it’ll never be the podcast I play first on my commute.
