Pretty good!
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 across dungeon design, historical lore, and npc circumstances/motives—all three can surprise you. Similarly, the characters are each distinct, well-developed, and interesting for the listener to follow. To me, this is the podcast that sounds most like a great, lively homebrew game between friends. All dnd podcasts invoke that gimmick to some extent, but this is the one that does it justice by taking it as a premise and being good enough to grow past it into an entertaining show. It takes an incredible amount of work to succeed with that premise. The long history of Aesis afforded by prior campaigns and the herculean efforts of DM Dave are part of it, but the work the players put into developing their characters and intra-party relationships is what turns this from a tour into a fully-fledged narrative with a surplus of *just excellent* moments. If you’ve heard the most popular shows and need a sleeper hit in your feed, take a listen!

The world that Dave has created is absolutely fascinating. The vast amount of work that he has put into this homebrewed campaign is evident in his story telling while still being put through its paces with the added elements of chaos caused by the players and the random factor brought by the...Read full review »

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.
