  • What fun!

    I played 1st edition when it came out and haven’t played since. I love this pod cast (at episode 150) Fantastic story line, great non annoying sound track (ambient style) . The best dnd podcast out there as not over dramatised.

    Includes a bit of random chit chat ( cheese, beer, drooling dogs, nostalgic references) but as an intro rather than interrupting the story flow. ‘ age of worms’ . Now up to date with episodes. Still fantastic!

  • Incredible ineptitude and superb entertainment

    I was recommended to listen to this podcast by a friend and long time player of Dungeons and Dragons.

    I ran the Age of Worms for a total of six years using the V3.5 ruleset and it was a slog.

    Brutal, intense and thoroughly demoralising.

    Players were crushed, ground up and spat out every session.

    To the point that I am still reminded of certain unfair situations, PTSD the players say, which arose during my game sessions.

    Imagine my delight when I settled down to listen to the Hilltoppers tackl... more
