“The passing of the torch from James to Dillin is so sweet and such a fun listen! If that and these new DAWN episodes are anything to go by, the next chapter of One Shot Pod is going to be INCREDIBLE! Dillin is doing incredible already. I can’t wait to see where he takes this. I’m ready for this...”Read full review »

“One Shot is a pillar of the actual play community and the new host, Superdillin, is breathing new life into this already excellent show. If you’ve listened to One Shot before, you’re going to LOVE everything Dillin is doing. If you’ve never listened, now might just be the time to start. The...”Read full review »

“I just discovered this and really like it but have to remind myself constantly that the host is not Scott Auckerman…
Is there such a thing as a voice doppelgänger?”

“I really enjoy some of these One Shots, but others are super meh. It is HIGHLY dependent on who the players are. The GM is great tho.
I will say that I would seriously listen to an ENTIRE campaign with the very first group on the first episodes. I wish there was a whole campaign with them. I...”Read full review »

SO GOOD.”Read full review »

“These guys are always great fun, and I partially credit them with getting this one-time 90s kid gamer back into gaming after 20 years. I swear they even somewhat affected my play-style, in a good way I think.

Of course they’ve supported a crusade or 2 to ban some classic ad&d...”Read full review »

“One Shot is one of those podcasts that are hit-or-miss not due to the host or subject matter but the guests.

Other times the guests are just not the types who can shoulder the...”Read full review »

“This podcast is not like any other real play podcast. You’ll never get bored of a storyline because they have a new one every 3 or so episodes, and they switch up the players as well, so you are on an infinite sidewalk, but it looks like someone redid it in a different style every 30 feet. Good fun.”
