“I listen to a lot of TTRPG podcasts. I also play and DM a lot of D&D. I enjoying getting ideas about how to improve my game at home by listening to others play. I also just enjoy listening to others play. This podcast does a terrific job of scratching both those itches.
First, the DM does a wonderful job with the material. I’m familiar with Scourge of the Sword Coast having run it, and he has found a way to put so much more life into the source material than ever occurred to me. It’s inspiring to listen to.
Second, the players are clearly enjoying themselves. They enjoy the game and each other. They screw around a bit, but they also stay focused on the game and don’t get side-tracked - which while fun in real life at the table, can be distracting and annoying as a non-participating audience member. These folks don’t do that, and it’s fun to listen to them play.
Finally, this is an edited actual play podcast, and the DM (who I believe is mostly responsible for editing the show) finds a nice balance of story-telling and allowing listeners to get an idea of the decision making by the players.
This is up there with the best of the genre. 5/5.”
