Reviews

5.0 out of 5 stars from 16.7k ratings
  • Second Campaign is a major drop in quality. Pornographic, meandering, too many tangents. Aabriya's dming style is just not at the same quality as Brennan's.

    We gave up soaring fantasy for tawdry conversation.

    Trying to ape Dune, settling for modern star trek. Boring.

  • *chefs kiss* Now THATS what I call storytelling!

    Okay so for 2025, one of my big goals was to read more books, specifically because I had been craving a good fantasy with strong characters and world building…I did not make my reading goal BECAUSE of this podcast. Everything I’d been craving from a good book…well developed characters, a vast world I could lose myself in, thoughtful storytelling that really made me THINK…I was able to get from this humble show. It’s clear how much thought and care is put into each and every episode, you won’t re... more

  • AI has absolutely no place in podcasts

    Very sad to see that AI is used in the production of this show… long time listener but can’t in good conscience support any entertainment that uses AI to do their work. Hire people who can work and think for themselves. Absolutely unacceptable and sad to see the direction this and other shows are going.

  • First hour was nice and then it wore me down

    Amazing production quality, but a lot feels overdramatized and emotionally super saturated, as if every scene needs to be so momentous as to warrant a kind of breathy and gushy over delivery. Reminds me of high school theatre rehearsals
