  • Really enjoying this. Production quality excellent, interesting selection of games, and the host strikes a good balance of storytelling vs 'behind the screen' insights into the mechanics and decision making.

    Parent note: Only as far as the end of the Sundered Isles play through, but so far there's also been no swearing so it's a nice safe option when I'm listening somewhere my kids might burst in.

  • Great actual play with Awesome Content

    Rene, member of the DM's After Dark crew, has branched out to become the defacto master of Solo Play and just generally great editing. He is very smooth in his delivery and I look forward to many more Rene Plays Games content.
