  • Great British Roleplaying Journeys

    Fantastic stuff. I am hugely enjoying the “Enemy Within” campaign at the moment and hope that we get as far as a river cruise on the Reik in the future! Absolutely the best combination of reverence and irreverence for the game, the world and the player’s adventures. It is real, unforced and pleasantly under-produced. Please give it a listen!

  • Hugely enjoyable

    A group of people, who clearly get the games they are playing, playing them. The Enemy Within run they just finished was the best run through I have heard or watched. Real pleasure.

    It says something that they once spent an entire session trying to open a door while being pursued by zombies and still managed to keep it entertaining. I’m not sure what it says but I’m here for it.

  • The best around.

    For an actual play experience that includes authentic diversions and both kinds of wit (high and low) you should listen to this podcast.

    The delightful scamps of Whartson Hall get up to all kinds of japes.

    In particular may I recommend all Forgotten Futures sessions, Strontium Dog, and the Great Pendragon campaign. These are systems not often featured and everyone around the table add to a great listen.

    You owe it to yourself to understand the elaborate manner in which an Edwardian space-man ... more
