I have been enjoying this RPG story and the rolls and situations these characters/voice actors get themselves in. And definitely love the cruelty the DM revels in at each turn and roll. Truly love this production group!!!!
Podcast Addict53 months agoMadZag- More Please!
This pod & the ppl playing/acting are super entertaining. I love the characters they’ve created & the twists & turns that occur at the roll of the die. V does a fantastic job describing the world they are living in. While I’m familiar with DND, I’ve never played. After binging 26 episodes in a couple of weeks, I’m curious about giving it a go. The only bummer about this pod is NOW having to wait for a monthly drop. 😉

United States3 months ago - Too much off-story banter.
I judge the enjoyment of this genre by the balance of forward momentum against the number of “like” “um” and off-topic giggles etc. This one doesn’t quite get there for me. One episode in and almost nothing has moved forward.

Nothing like the trailer. Said it was full cast and immersive audio.

Love love love this group! I first started listening to their other podcast The Lucky Die and am now enjoying the new one The Sprouting. The music and sound effect score, acting, real-play, and writing are as usual all excellent, can’t recommend enough. I am also one of their Patreon supporters and if you’re able I encourage you to check out their Patreon as well, which is Fool & Scholar. Thanks for reading and have a great day :)
