An absolute banger, peak story telling with a great mix of radio show and let’s play podcast! Quality entertainment and community with it!
It has great production value, and I like how yall do different ttrpgs with mothership being my favorite horror rpg, I do wonder if y’all could do a lancer or perhaps a shadowrun game.
An absolute gem in a world where mediocre actual plays are all too common.
The cast are effortlessly funny and engaging, and even when they are mercilessly ragging on each other it is done with such warmth that it really adds to the atmosphere.
Beautiful, descriptive collaborative storytelling that absolutely blows so many of its competitors out of the water, even the pros.
An incredibly fun and humorous D&D actual play. The group of friends that have come together to tell a story are as true to themselves as they are to the game. You can tell that, at the end of the day, they are all there to tell a story and have a good time.
The worldbuilding, characters and story are enjoyable for fans of high-fantasy to low-fantasy, and has reminiscent themes to many popular works of fantasy fiction.
Incredibly enjoyable, highly recommended.
Absolutely love this podcast. Always entertaining, always engaging and one of the few actual plays where story goes hand in hand with Character Development. All the team are excellent and deserve their time in the spotlight. Cannot recommend highly enough.
