  • A diamond in the rough

    I found this podcast on Reddit, and I haven’t been disappointed. I listen to many different actual play podcasts for Pathfinder, so at first I had a hard time adjusting to the audio quality difference. However, I’m fully invested now. I am currently listening to episode 97, and I plan on moving right into their Tyrant’s Grasp game. The chaos that ensues that ensues with this group is wonderfully entertaining. I’m a Pathfinder 1st edition purist, so I’m happy that there’s still more 1e content ou... more

  • I have no idea where the 1 star person got any of there info. I will say any person who knows anything on making podcast the first few episodes are meh. This does not reflect on the group at all. At no given point were spoilers out. Great group but I would recommend starting with Tyrants Grasp. The group really hit there flow and if you wanna back track to earlier episodes there's an entire campaign of s&s. Also friendliest discord server out there

Q: Do you feel like you're seeing any kind of overarching story? Do you feel like you're just still completely in sandbox mode?
Throughout all of Book 2, I thought we were in a pretty good story-like adventure. I didn't feel like we were particularly sandboxing it.

Thelais humorously responds by grabbing two handfuls of ash, noting that it runs through his fingers as he connects with the deceased.
