  • Awesome quality entertainment

    This is a beautifully balanced podcast, with all the elements of great gameplay, some chat about game mechanics and plot, but with all the banter between friends that for many people lies at the heart of role playing games.

    It is, from the start, very well edited and constructed. But as the characters and their interactions become more beloved as the podcast continues it gets better and better.

    The podcast is a regular topic of conversation around our gaming table.

  • Laugh out loud D&D fun

    As an avid reader - I can only encourage you to get on board with this hilarious, bunch of friends who have played RPG’s for longer than I have been alive. Drink beer, or London’s finest tap water and work their way through the Age of Worms Adventure Path. With Mike at the helm, I can’t tell you how many times I have had people look at me strangely as I have broken out with chuckles listening to him berate the players for forgetting what they are supposed to be doing or winding Jonny up about be... more
