  • Love this unique RPG & storytelling

    A little bit of mystery, magic, a lot of music and a lot of great hilarious moments! What’s not to love? These folks really know how to have a great story, it’s always exciting to hear each new episode after each story arc. I love that they have a constant flow of different voices and guests that join in.

    The GM does a great job at keeping the story moving along and to keep it interesting as it plays out.

    Excited to hear on what happens next!
