“Great show. I love all the builds even though my DM would not let me do some of them. I do enjoy exploring what is possible.
P.S. My DM lets me use booming blade on shadow blade.”

“I found the podcast looking for a sorlock build and found episode 6 i believe. Ever since (around 2.5 years) I have been a huge fan. Sure, custom lineage, elven accuracy, booming blade, sharpshooter crossbow expert, GWM PAM, etc gets a little repetitive but still great builds, Colby is very...”Read full review »

“I’ve legitimately used these builds in 5e games to devastating effect. The Knight Radiant and Ice-Breaker for BG3 also make that game too easy in the most fun was possible… I probably shouldn’t use them both at the same time.”

“I really like this podcast. Colby is great, I have been binging this podcast nonstop for several days now, and I love all the creative ideas Colby has. All I want now is an fathomless warlock/open sea pally
Also the cleric spell list is way better than the bard’s”

“I really like how chill and low energy this guy is.
I love creative his builds are, but I think the builds are a bit long winded.”

“Colby is amazing! He gives content that I always know what I’m tuning in for and since I’m a newer player a lot of ideas for my character. The added bonus is that I’ve learned a lot about my parties abilities as well so what a learning experience! He’s easy to listen to and doesn’t hype a lot...”Read full review »

“Listen here for incredibly interesting optimization tactics, wonderfully nerdy DnD analysis, and a gloriously pleasant Colby. He’s even much funnier than he thinks he is, which is an oh so rare, and very welcome trait.
Colby is just simply a great dude, and it absolutely shines through his...”Read full review »

I wonder if they will be back…”

“This show is made for nerds like me, who like our host says, almost enjoy character creation and concepts as much as the game itself. Colby is very easy to listen to and this podcast has become a fixture of my week. Thanks and keep it up!”

“I found him on YouTube a couple of days ago, but I just now found his podcast! I love all of his videos and content. Only thing was that it was kind of hard to find the podcast. Typing in D&D didn’t bring it up and D&D optimized or deep dive didn’t find it for me. Maybe I’m just bad at...”Read full review »

This content is exceptional. I have listened to many episodes more than than once. Each time

“I was searching for a podcast that would give me some insight on some of the fun new mechanics from Tasha’s. I think I’ve found that in the 2 episodes I’ve listened to so far but I have one big complaint. Every other build recommended in this podcast is some derivation of using darkness to gain...”Read full review »

“I’ve searched for years to find D&D content that really dives into the math and mechanics of making the best character you can build. I’ve enjoyed every single episode and would recommend to anyone who loves D&D character building. Enjoy!”
