“This show is more over than SR4, first episode in months and it’s a “hey guys here’s just the work I did in a fluff book”. But wait for the special section at the end where I explain everything. Look, I respect you as a content creator, but I can’t listen to a 5 min pity party followed up by 2...”Read full review »

They covered Atlanta, which is local to me, and have given me many ideas for a home game. They've also talked about Neo-Tokyo for the SR:M season 9, and generally the...”Read full review »

“I have never played shadowrun before well besides the old Sega game. And caught this one a random search. And I’m glad I did the tales of Maverick and the gang has been epic to say the least. Crunchy system seems so easy with Mr Johnson running it. Great stuff and fun 👍👍”

“A long running podcast. The early episodes were rough around the edges (especially the actual plays with Teamspeak) but they found their groove and I dare say it’s the best SR Actual play around.
Product reviews are spot on. The perfect ressource if you want to get into Shadowrun.”
