The Room Where It Happened

this is the one podcast where i don't mind the crosstalk and overlapping conversations. even in the early episodes where the audio quality is not as good it still feels like i'm sitting at the table with my friends while they play dnd, just like when i was in college. don't miss out on this one. there's lots of excellent bird facts also.

This is an awesome actual play podcast. The group has made a world that draws you in and feel the stress that the players do when things go wrong. Everything is done with a good balance of humor and drama. The world they have created is full of detail and the group does a great job of using different games to ensure the world develops just as much as their characters. Overall an awesome job.

If anything strikes me about The Room Where It Happened, it is the contrast between moments of dead silence and thick weaving tensions and uproarious laughter.

TRWIH has a tight knit cast, friend clearly very comfortable with each other, and who are willing to push each other. Not only do we get the treat of the players holding razor sharp standoffs, tension drawn out to wire, but we get to share the moments after, when they break, and the cast congratulate each other and marvel at the story th... more

One thing that I look for in actual plays is chemistry. Believe it or not that is a lot harder to find than you think. In a scene where new table top roleplaying games are coming out left and right. Very few have chemistry because most aren’t there to play games, they are there to cash in. That is not the case what so ever with The Room Where it Happened. The Room Where it Happened is recorded at a table, and you can tell the main mission is to have fun, and the group works hard on that. The int... more

The Room Where it Happened is an excellent podcast for listeners who want to feel like they’ve taken a seat at the table of a great group of friends. The players have a lot of fun with one another, and the GM facilitates a great environment where everyone feels like part of the fun, listeners included!

I'm really impressed by the passion and conviction these players bring to Luume and D&D. They are truly dedicated to building an immersive and impressive world, and every new episode adds exciting details to Luume that continue to draw listeners in. I highly recommend that you treat yourself to this experience! It's not your average D&D podcast.

I started listening because I heard there was going to be some LGBT stuff, and there is some, just not what I thought it was going to be. The show is still super good.

I love APs with the group all in one place. There's an energy there that's hard to replicate, so I was happy to find that energy in The Room Where it Happened (and the musical nerd in me loves the title reference too). The homebrew setting is filled with interesting details and NPCs, while still having plenty of recognizable D&D 5E in the playstyle.

The Room Where it Happened has a deep and interesting world being built. Learning about it as the players explore is loads of fun. Good table chemestry but there is some cross talk that can be disorienting at times.

The world of Lumme is obviously very detailed and very rich. It incorporates elements from a half dozen different genres and manages to build something original from all of it. The group playing is obviously very comfortable with each other and with the game. There's some laughs, but also a great deal of focus on character development and exploring the world.

The best thing about any tabeltop podcast in the chemistry between the hosts, and this show has it in spades. They are clearly all good friends and it shows in the recording, each giving the others the right amount of space, time and teasing.

A fast-paced mystery, The Room Where It Happened had me on the edge of my seat. The players think on their feet, making for a high-speed chess game vibe as they chase down monsters and criminals through a world that seems like ours.... but not quite. As a fan of D&D and sci/fi in general, I'm hooked!

The Room Where it Happened has one of the strongest group chemistries I’ve seen in a podcast yet. It’s a shame that constant voice overlap makes it difficult to listen, at times.

Overall the story is a modern take on fantasy tropes; Cars instead of Horses, for example. A refreshing new takes, on old expectations. As I listen in to more episodes, it’s clear this story shares more of its DNA with Shadowrun than D&D, which I’ve always felt needs more love. The players involved are clearly fans o... more

A solid podcast with excelent sound quality and good editing. It pairs this with a strong navitive and strong intercharacter chemistry. Not afraid of being a bit silly they also bring a good sense of humor.

There's a lot of cross-talk aand overlapping conversations, to the point that it's hard to keep track of who's talking and what they're talking about, and the group's occasional use of props at the table doesn't gel all that well with an auditory medium.

On the other hand, it's interesting to listen to this type of collaborative roleplaying and it's clear that the players have been playing together for a long time, so their back-and-forth feels really natural. The story they're telling is also ... more
