This podcast is really good. Rene is a really good host putting out really good content. It helps my work day go by faster.
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.
Rene does a great job explaining and making complicated games understandable for a novice like myself. I’m so excited he is putting this passion into a podcast and sharing it with the masses. Thank you.
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.
