Really enjoyed Listeing to this, i'm plannign to run The Haunting with a bunch of CoC first timers, so this was SUPER USEFUL!!
A really nice introspective dive into past sessions. I’ve run my own games plenty but rarely have other GM to gab or listen to. Actual plays are really nice but it’s really great to hear the “if I were to do that again, I’d do it this way”. Thanks for the lessons lads.
I really enjoy the format of this show, the insight and the sound quality. It’s interesting to hear honest discussion about their games. I look forward to this every Sunday.

As a teacher, I try to champion the growth mindset concept with my students, and this podcast translates that over to gaming. There is no growth without reflection, and these guys offer honest and open criticism of their own games with the goal of improving. Having listened to over 50 episodes now (almost caught up!), you can hear the growth they have experienced. It makes me hungry for that... more
