  • Very enjoyable

    I’ve been enjoying this Actual Play podcast for Beam Saber (a Forged In the Dark game based on Blades in the Dark). The storyline is easy enough to follow. Mitch (the GM) explains the rules mechanics to the audience to help them to follow along. The voices are distinguishable from one another so that you know who is talking. The crew of the ‘Black Star Constellation’ appears to be having a lot of fun and I’m enjoying the ride.
