What Folks Are Raving About
This podcast brings a new mix of humor and interesting storytelling in an audio that I can listen to anytime Im in the mood to be entertained. Compelling story quest, great audio, and enjoyable background ambience to enhance the immersion of the listener. The explanation for rolls and actions help understand the mechanics of everything.
I mean wow! The banter between the players, the every man feel to the group, the way the DM finds a good balance of reeling the goofiness in and letting it go, AND the madness of some friends trying to solve ridiculous problems together… it just feels like a weekend with friends playing a good game. A very inviting and fun experience with killer sound, atmosphere, and vibes all around!
I like the combo of flashbacks (which really makes it feel like a story/movie almost) and the live playing. Makes me miss playing D&D. Live that I can hear the dice being rolled. I like there there is a straight guy on the team with the 2 other guys being a little kooky.
Fun to listen to with plenty of humor. The slick editing makes it easy to get immersed.
I laughed so hard at the description of the dance in Episode 5 that I had tears on my face. The players’ interaction and contributions to the plot are great. And I’ve never played D & D.
