Appreciate all the thoughtful reporting provided by these folks. One of the best things about RPGFan’s philosophy is their understanding that reviews are inherently subjective, so you get honest, personal opinions from the staff.
The group dynamics are really enjoyable under Jono’s direction. Just a great podcast.
Imagine bemoaning the fates of so-called spectacularly talented people who turned out garbage character designs for generic slop like Concord and Suicide squad kill the Justice League. This podcast is ok enough, but nothing special otherwise. It would be a hell of a lot better without any of the leftist/progressive crap.
Imagine crying over the fates of so-called spectacularly talented people who turned out garbage character designs for generic slop like Concord and Suicide squad kill the Justice League. It's fun to watch you people cry, at least. This podcast is ok enough, but nothing special otherwise. It would be a hell of a lot better without any of the leftist/progressive crap.
Alongside Retro Encounters of course. Been listening for a few years now, finally decided to rate and review (it’s never too late, guys!). Long live the RPGFan, probably the most passionate genre website and the RPGFan crew, lovely bunch of geeks!
Tired of hearing about Covid and don’t want to hear your booster propaganda. Not gonna listen any more.
