Understand what you’re listening to
I have been listening to this since the first episodes- the crazy partiers. This is definitely falls on the less serious side story wise and player wise for the most of the podcast which is ok some of the time (and really depends on what your looking for). But other times and more towards the recent episodes, it loses some of the quality with excessive side conversations (albeit it’s mostly the first 15 to 20 mins of each episode) and too light hearted stories that are developed by players. For me and probably most long time listeners, the expectation would have been that there would have been something more. For example, it would have narrowed down to just a smooth feed of the play that gave us the chance to hear more of the game and less of the talking which could be reserved for another podcast or separate episode (and it would of tended towards more dramatic than not). On another point, the sound quality of the voices is good. But with the growing listenership and support, I thought that James would have more in terms of production value through accents like backdrop music and sound effects. Maybe this is what he wants - as his skyjack campaign walks that fine line between drama and comedy with good interjections that definitely shows effort and adds to production. My hope is that James won’t let the mainstay of his network and the community devolve into just another podcast that is messing around on mikes. The concept of this podcast is phenomenal and gives opportunity throughout the community to show off incredible lesser known games. If you’re reading James, I am just trying to offer what I think to help not to be mean. I like what you’ve done and I applaud you on making it this far. I will change my review when I see things change as I only want to be honest with someone whose given so much of their life to creating an amazing podcast. (Last thing, It’s probably easier to keep having the same friends come on like Liz Anderson- she’s funny- but I miss the cross promoting like with Rob from Orpheus protocol and Quin for Swallows of the South).

I’ve gotten a lot of strange looks completely cracking up while listening to this in the grocery store :) Spectacularly fun. James and the guests are so much fun to listen to, and I think its made me a better player, GM, and game designer as a result. Be sure to check Critical Success too!

I recently was indroduced to One Shot through another podcast and quickly mainlined as many episodes as I could in a week.

Not only are the regular contributors talented and hilarious, but the turnover of players and systems always keeps things fresh. Five out of five stars!
