“James Holloway does a great job here. This is something I did not expect to enjoy but now find it is one of my favourite podcasts.
Although so far focused on AD&D 1st edition products this is not an AD&D podcast as such. It examines the Monster Manual, and lately the Fiend Folio, as important gaming artifacts rather than as text books for a particular game or style of play.
Each episode features the origins of the monsters drawing from numerous sources; citing mythology, literature, folklore and gaming history. It also discusses how the monsters might be used in interesting ways in fantasy gaming.
James displays a depth of research that seems remarkable given how prolific these episodes are. His enthusiasm for the subject is infectious, his oratory lively and entertaining. Sound quality is good overall, episodes are 10-20 minutes in length and are released frequently (I’m going to say twice weekly but don’t hold me to that.)
Overall this is a well executed podcast and I consider it a must if you have any interest in either fantasy gaming or monsters in general.”
