  • Best Actual Play Ever

    I love you guys so much you always find a way to make the most stressful decisions and events funny.

Though I am also sad that the campaign has ended so short too I’m sure that the next campaign will be better than the last.

  • This podcast has my favorite piece of media I’ve consumed

    Vr-la’s monologue is worth it alone to consume every bit of this podcast to that point. It it my favorite piece of media I have ever consumed. And not just that speech but the entire podcast is beyond amazing. I envy people who get to listen to this the first time. The bit of Vr-la gives me goosebumps every time, even just thinking about it has that affect. Bravo noir, and thank you Sophie and red for osp that helped me end up here.

  • I wait like a dog at the door for new releases

    Truly the most amazing DnD podcast I know of, worthy of rivaling CR itself. The stories are riveting, the characters are delightful, and the nonsense that makes Dungeons and Dragons so fun is potent and wonderful.
