“I think these guys are very informed and resourceful - they clearly know a lot about DMing and they have a lot of relevant advice. However, I think, despite their professed attitude of inclusion to DMing in general, they ultimately come across aloof and snobbish when critiquing the DMing of...”Read full review »

“I’m about 20 episodes in and their GM advice is top notch. They’re veeeeery judgemental, though and that makes it hard to listen to multiple episodes in a row. It gets a little negative.
Give me the DnD! Why do we have to bring political opinions into everything?! Let me escape for gawd sakes!”

“Excellent podcast about TTRPG’s and GMing. Not all 5e content (which is a good thing!) but even when they’re on about something other then “your game” you can always take-away something useful or intriguing.
The hosts have good chemistry (will they? Won’t they!?) and feel like genuinely good...”Read full review »

“I’ve really enjoyed this podcast over time. Matt and Rob have a lot of good advice and are smart enough to go outside of DnD lore to look for inspiration in their games. They explore genre and different game systems in depth and insightfully. They definitely seem to have a style and yours might...”Read full review »

“The hosts have a good rapport together and present some good content. Gotta drop a couple stars due to the over the top virtue signaling and trying to create drama where there’s none. Granted I’ve only listened to a handful of episodes, but batting average for these things appears to be quite high.”

“These two have a lot to advice to offer. I’ve been listening to D&D podcasts (non-live play) for 4 years and I’d rank them in my top 3 most helpful podcasts I’ve tried out - definitely worth a try if you’re a DM trying to improve your craft.”

This puts them in a unique position to review products and teach players and DM’s new and old. They have a lot of...”Read full review »
