- General Review
*Really* enjoying these podcasts !
Took me a while to realise there are 3 distinct campaigns running:
The Companions - several characters including a Dragonborn warrior, a Firbolg Ranger, a Tiefling Warlock?, Human Bloodhunter (it's a Matthew Mercer from Critical Role class), a Dhampir (living descendent of vampires, like a tiefling from demons but descended from undead instead) Bard, and lately joined by a Human Monk. Great story, features something I've not seen before, a creation by the D... more

United Kingdom7 years ago - 3 distinct podcasts, each different but great
THAC0 And Things. Using the original box set. This is the most fun to listen to I think, is this what elves and dwarves used to be like towards each other ? Great listen. Halfling with a pipe, dwarf stubborness and elf disdain, human mediator who ends up just getting on with it.
Companions. A 'standard' DnD campaign, various races and classes, fighting against evil. Great.
Inquisitors of Illem. Different to anything I've listened to before. Great characters, great story, Dan the DM has ... more
Apple Podcasts5DnDPLAYER1United Kingdom7 years ago - S1E0.1 The Inquisitors
wow, so different. Is it different characters as well ?
Adds a completely different feel, and I imagine will add to our and the other characters understanding of illem. illem sounds a bit like a fascist state, but I guess the characters already know that lol.
Really good, looks like I have two podcasts to listen out for from Paper Sword Podcasting now ! @PaperSwordPod on twitter right ?
Apple Podcasts51969DanOCUnited Kingdom7 years ago - The Companions Podcast E1 Review
A unique world with unique mechanics based on the Dungeons and Dragons role playing game, 5th Edition.
Characters encounter something called the Dark Wind, which is a physical-magical representation from a dark moon (planet ?) called Malvelous, anything that can go wrong is much more likely, and stealth/assassinations/dark magics are more poweful.
Very good, have subscribed.
Apple Podcasts51969DanUnited Kingdom7 years ago - A great D&D podcast
I hope you all enjoy and take a listen
