I wish I started listening when they were active, love the show. The editing, sounds and music are great and keep you immersed. The story is thoughtful and compelling from a large homebrew that has a life of its own. But you can’t have a top notch show without superb players, characters and DM....Read full review »

Started listening to this podcast at the end of January. Started on episode one. Now on episode 37. I don’t recall from my high school days when I was playing and dming (class of 1986) AD&D of it begin as fun as this group is having. I hope it just keeps getting better as it has so far.

I really like it, five stars from me. Great dynamics between characters. I love the balance between fun lightheartedness and the more serious moments. Great story too developed well Just be prepared to not like Doroth (but that’s the point, at least at the start) (hence the four star rating)

This is a great DND podcast.

Un excellent balado des campagnes de D&D. Une troupe que l’ont voit évoluer de séances en séances. Excellentes qualités audio. Le juste milieu entre des parties enregistrées et l’édition. Un scénario riche et travaillé très impressionnant et un monde entier à découvrir. J’adore lorsqu’ils...Read full review »

I was looking for another D&D live play podcast to listen to on my daily commute. This one has not disappointed yet! I’m on episode 24 and have a few years left to catch up on. I hope you’re still playing when I catch up!

I started listening to this podcast a couple months ago and it is absolutely amazing. The story telling is so well thought out and planned. I wish I could play with a group of people like this. Just want to tell you guys to keep up the good work and keep having fun!

I have gone 3 and a half decades without experiencing d&d... now I have listened to four orbs every day for 4 months and it has hooked me unlike any pod I’ve tried! Hate that it took me so long to start... but so glad I finally did! Highly recommend!
Jes Wohnson via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/01/22
There are not alot of actual play podcasts out there that I think get this right. Four Orbs gets it right! I'm always looking for an actual play that's edited down to the good parts while still getting that fly on the wall experience. The quality roleplaying in this podcast is what I...Read full review »
Stozzbornable via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/13/22
I listen to a lot of actual play podcasts and usually stick with the ones that stand out in one area. The highly produced casts usually feel less “real” at the table. The ones that are just a group recording their regular home sessions feel clunky and awkward and the comedy shows can barely feel...Read full review »

Love this podcast, but hate the iTunes app. I had a full detail review talking about the amazing characters, sound, and the fullness history of a fleshed out world. Clicked on the wrong spot and *BLIP* it disappeared into dust. Damnit... I need Dorth... he always makes things better!

This campaign has been a blast to listen to and got me started on playing dnd. I couldn’t recommend this enough! this is a super interesting home brew that obviously has so much passion put into it. Ps Lord Samuel William Drasgow would be an epic npc name! :-)

A wonderful balance of depth and hilarity, combat and character, down-to-earth and extraordinary. The players and DM work together to weave a captivating tale that draws listeners in so well that it is difficult to pull away.
TarrenVane via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/13/21
I’ll get right into it, what really is nice about this podcast is that it strikes a perfect balance between comedy and immersive storytelling. The world that Dan has created is unique and detailed. And the Players have good chemistry and know how to bounce of each other’s antics(including the...Read full review »

What started as a random selection for me has turned into a favorite. While it takes a bit to get going (because the team was clearly learning what they’re doing for the first few arcs) Stick with this podcast. It’s been a great ally through many nightshifts and painting sessions. It will give...Read full review »

This is a really awesome podcast. Characters are super fun and the story they tell feels real. I love how the fun they have gets translated to my listening experience. I just wish I didn’t have to wait for more!

This is probably one of the best podcasts I have ever listened to
WhyDoesItHaveToBeMe via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/17/21
This podcast is fantastic, the soundscape and talents of David behind the scenes truly enhances the experience and brings another layer of lifelike fantasticness that the players cannot quite replicate. However, the crew here is fantastic, the characters have a bunch of twists and turns...Read full review »

Four Orbs is a wonderfully produced podcast. Engaging characters, fun plots, and great background music! Four orbs is a wonderful show that you should check out. If you enjoy tabletop roleplaying game podcasts, Four Orbs is a must have on your playlist!
Jfish2013 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/07/20
This is my first ever D&D podcast after only consuming D&D in the form of livestreams. After getting used to the podcast format, I’ve grown to love Four Orbs! They have very lovable characters and an even more lovable cast of players. Together with their awesome DM Dave, they go on fun...Read full review »

I really like this podcast. They do a good job role-playing and the audio quality is really good.
sixela1792 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/31/20
I personally have been listening to new Podcasts for DnD for a little bit now. Four Orbs was the first one I heard of outside of another one of my favorites called Not Another DnD Podcast. I am not completely caught up yet as I am writing this, however I will give Dave credit where credit is due....Read full review »

Was looking for a new ttrpg podcast while tales from the glass guarded world is between seasons, and I’ve found a real gem in this podcast. (I’ll try not to spoil anything in this review by limiting my characterization to my general opinions.) The worldbuilding is consistently high-quality...Read full review »
Markik via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/30/20
The world-building is solid af. The cast has wonderful rapport. There's an awesome balance of story and combat. It feels like a game my friends would play with all the joking, misery over terrible rolls, acting up when things get weird or awesome, awkward dialogue moments... all of it!lRead full review »

A great Dnd based podcast with a good mix of gameplay and storytelling. Enough dice rolling to keep it random and interesting, but so much storytelling and dialog it doesn’t feel like you’re watching a grindy combat session. So much awesome character development that makes you really care about...Read full review »

I binged over 40 episodes in less than 2 weeks. That's how amazing this podcast is. It's got drama, action, suspense, mystery, suspense, and humor so perfectly balanced that it creates the most delicious full-course meal. Then there's the production. It's one of the best sounding...Read full review »

Month after month this podcast keeps me coming back for more.

Four Orbs is truly a treat to listen to. If you're a fan of high fantasy, you will really enjoy this tale as it is full of twists and turns, many mysteries, and a rich world.

The perfect blend of humor, joy, and adventure makes you wish you were sitting at their table. Add in a fascinating original setting, and a fantastic soundtrack. It’s pretty much a perfect podcast.

There’s something for everyone with The Four Orbs show. It’s a fully fleshed out world full of vile monsters, beautiful soundscapes, goofy NPCs and wonderful player characters. If you want something that draws you in to a fantastical DnD world, this podcast does just that. #ORBTIME

Dave and Co. are really putting out A+ material. Engaging and interesting PC's, hilarious and well, fleshed out NPC's, a twist on the system that lends to some potetnially dire scenarios, this pod really has and does it all.

Dave Cole does a great job of building an immersive world brimming with life and possibilities for the players. Once through the first few episodes of world building and lore, the story takes off at a break neck pace. If you’re not smiling by the time the Bullywugs show up, I’m pretty sure you...Read full review »

The amount of work poured over this podcast is amazing. Storyline, worldbuilding, scenario descriptions, sound effects, I love the originality of it all! Definitely worth a listen.

Dungeons and dragons has helped me light that creative fire I had as a child and Four Orbs throws a big ole (neatly stacked) pile of wood on that flame. Thanks for the inspiration to DM and play. And thanks for the countless hours of editing to tell a fantastic story.
