“Not the same as the GCP by any measure, but the House Of Bob has a similar high audio quality and entertaining crew that will make you want to keep listening. Just like with the GCP, HOB’s hilarious antics makes me make weird noises and strange faces in public places. Along with the GCP, this is one of the only role playing podcasts I’ve listened to with consistently amazing sound quality from the beginning.
Of course, there are places the GCP and HOB diverge. The creators of HOB may not all be trained voice actors or comedians, but for certain the GM in HOB is in some ways better than Troy or even Skid, who are the GMs in GCP. In HOB the adventure path is not a homebrew, but the GM enables the players to have so many options that it almost is one. HOB’s GM does a fantastic job of making the players’ actions really matter. With this GM, making the wrong decision or rolling badly at the wrong moment could spell the end for your character, but their sacrifice will not be in vain: everything the players do moves the plot forward in fantastic ways. Even when players do something unexpected, it seems like the GM planned for that exact scenario.
If you are wondering whether to give it a try, just go ahead and listen to the first episode. You won’t regret it.”
