I was specifically looking for a well-balanced cast for a horror rpg. I went through a few giving up halfway through first episodes before I randomly came across Fear Initiative and I’ve been laughing so hard while also really enjoying the story and mystery so far during just the first episode....Read full review »

Honestly love this podcast but Real goes overboard with the slapstick stupid humor. I get she is supposed to be the dumb one in the group but failed to provide levity and is just a distraction and annoying.

But I love this podcast. Jeff does a fantastic job building suspense without visual prompts. I feel like I am there, and I need more.

Great players, great DM, there are some truly scary moments in this show, you can tell these guys love horror.

I’ve enjoyed Morgan Peter Brown’s work on The Dungeon Run and wanted to experience some more of his work. This is a great group and awesome DM, I love the horror motifs!! Absolutely creepy

A great balance of horror and comedy. Keeps you wanting more.

I am absolutely (mostly) loving this show! Lots of great tension, writing, characters and music! Without maligning the actress, I am admittedly having a hard time connecting with the Rael character. I am totally up for atypical fantasy characters and I am a fan of the type of growth in her...Read full review »

Fun hosts and unique campaigns.

These people do such a good job, by far my favorite D&D show!
Apathie22 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/21/20
Love the chemistry between the actors. Very engrossing story. Excellent DM!
shrimpify via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/14/20
Amazing actors and Jeff is a maestro story teller. Jump on with the chilly misadventures of this wild crew.
Beakerteacher via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 05/14/20
I was a casual listener of the previous series and it was...fine, just fine. No complaints but nothing to get super hyped about. This incarnation has been outstanding from the word “go”. Excellently blends horror with classic D&D action performed by an excellent group of players. I can’t get...Read full review »

I’m loving this story and the characters however I find myself turning it off because I cannot hear anything the other players are trying to do because of the EXTREME obnoxious character/woman playing Raelle. Between the screaming and the non stop talking it seriously takes away from the podcast....Read full review »

Highly entertaining, especially Raelle's hijinx and the banter between Cecil/McQuaid. Not as spooky this season though. Hard to top the bell town.Read full review »

Honestly the show is really good but if Megan can’t learn the rules after all this time she shouldn’t be on the show
Emack21 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/08/19
Honestly, I came because Daniel Montgomery is featured in the podcast. He is phenomenal, as expected, but the rest of the cast is tremendous as well. I am in for the whole ride on this gripping, hilarious, creepy fun experience.
JDGravatte via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/25/19
I know there are almost as many D&D podcast as there are Wrestling podcast. This show makes movie in your head. You'll think about it between episodes. The horror angle is really special. Please comeback soon. I miss you all.Read full review »

Stayed for Grimly and the many Steves. Found out about the show via Harmontown. I Really enjoy the mix of horror & humour.
T.A.P.O.R. via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/20/19
This is hands down, my favourite narrative podcast I've ever listened to. I have never played D&D but this makes me want to. The characters are played so perfectly by the actors involved and the DM, David Ian Mckendry does such an incredible job of bringing the world, characters and...Read full review »
PaddyBass via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 04/06/19
I came into this pod cast about 4 episodes in one suggestion of a friend of mine. I instantly was hooked. The group of talented people playing this for us to listen too is amazing. It’s refreshing to hear the first time players understand and learn the rules as they go with the help from the long...Read full review »

I love the dynamic of the group and the storyline so far. I can't wait to see how it progresses.Read full review »
Rallon Storm via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/01/19
By far my favorite podcast. The DM is beyond excellent, and the players are great role players who have built up characters with such fully fleshed out personalities that they almost feel real. Combined with the brilliant sound effects, beautiful Bug Bear ballads, and Lilly's potato...Read full review »
Duncs83631 via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 11/26/18
I found this podcast because I am fan of Rob Schrab (and because of his antics in D&D). Now, I am staying because of the wonderful storytelling, how the players handle/stay-true to their characters, and the well timed music/SFX.

Don’t trust the tall ones...
MeatMakerDeluxe via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 10/02/18
This is great. I can get lost in the narrative of some good old fashioned RPG story telling. The voices paint pictures, the adventure has a solid pace and the music creates the mood. I love this so much.
Sagiemichelle via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/28/18
A mixture of horror, thrills, laughs and musical numbers. Join these intrepid adventurers as they try to work together as a cohesive team and fight the forces of evil.
Amra_the bold via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 09/19/18
Love the women on this one!!!

It’s fun and growing on me

This show makes me happy. Is that ok with you? It is? Good. Thanks. Bye!

Bored of staring at computer screens and punching every letter on your keyboard while your boss hovers nearby to micromanage your day? Looking to escape reality in the hopes of getting entangled in a web of magic, action, and horror that reignites the dwindling passion for life in your heart?...Read full review »

Enthralling and engaging. I’m constantly wanting to be a part of it all. It’s got me back into d&d since I was 14. Thanks.
JeffLoft via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/12/18
I like the show, my favorite part is Schrab’s jokes but everyone shuts him down whenever he does anything.
Luke me via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/07/18
Love this show. The DM and all the players are great. Especially Cheapy Peepy as Vermathrax!

Monolith_g via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/30/18
Phenomenal cast, great role playing, minimal metagaming. The DM has a great handle on the rules, despite a few narrative giveaways, and has an inherent ability to keep the pace of the game right where it needs to be. There’s also what I’d like to call the “Goldilocks amount of Schrab.”
Aaaa311112 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/28/18
I found this show because I’m a Harmontown fan and I follow Rob on Instagram. So glad I found this because it’s great. The role play is inspiring, the live music perfect for the setting, and the cast works well together to create a captivating story. Can’t wait to see where the story goes next!
Beer$007 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/28/18
I tuned in because of Blum House and Rob Shrab. I think I was expecting something closer to HarmonTown’s RPG style but what I was met with was an RPG group that was wayyyyy too big. 7 or 8 in the cast when it should be around 4 or 5. Beside Shrab everyone is kind of monotone and humorless. It’s a...Read full review »

This show needs more attention from people, it is great. An interesting story with a charismatic cast. The humour and horror is amazing and is only enhanced by the Carpenter/Stranger Things style synth background music and sound effects.
Nick Bloodgate via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/24/18
Love this! Everyone needs to listen and enjoy!
leshark26 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/22/18
En jättebra historia, härliga karaktärer, livespelad bakgrundsmusik, skräck, splatter, spänning och humor - denna D&D podcast har det mesta man kan önska. Rekommenderas varmt!
SmorgasLord via Apple Podcasts · Sweden · 08/22/18
Seems promising! Off to a good start. Good character stuff that hooked me right from this first episode.
Yon Na via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/18/18
Fear Initiative immediately succeeds in introducing a charismatic cast and a misfit group of characters who play well off of each other. Lily and Grimly have already become personal favorites. The podcast draws you into the world through an immersive sound design, along with the steady hand of DM...Read full review »

This was a lot of fun to listen to! Great character dynamics. Can’t wait for the next one.
Lil Mmm via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/17/18
Good cast, charismatic, funny and entertaining. The DM is versatile and everyone throws themselves into their role. A promising beginning, I’m looking forward to seeing how they bring horror to the world of D&D, so far so good!
Carnaaki via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/16/18
I love this. I’ve been waiting for so long for this to start and it’s everything I hoped for. Can’t wait to hear more.
