  • Absolutely love this show

    I absolutely love TAZ, and it’s surprisingly been pretty monumental in my life. It’s what got me into DM’ing, and also kickstarted my newest hobby of coding, which is a bit of a longer story that, if you don’t care to hear, you can stop reading and understand that it all sums up to TAZ being amazing.

  • The first campaign - balance, was legitimately great, lightning in a bottle, 5 stars. Unfortunately, because it did so well they felt compelled to keep it going as a permanent fixture in their lineup of a billion podcasts. Every campaign after has been progressively worse to the point it's just painful to listen to now. What could have been a perfect one and done milked into oblivion.
