  • Always enjoyable and informative…

    I’ve been a long time listener through all of Vince’s various podcasts. We have very similar tastes in games (I’m mostly old school) and have always enjoyed his take on things. Vince and his gang are easy and fun to listen too, and who will always inspire you to roll some dice. What more could you ask from a podcast?
