A fabulous podcast about lifelong friendships.

I was recommended to listen to this podcast by a friend and long time player of Dungeons and Dragons. I ran the Age of Worms for a total of six years using the V3.5 ruleset and it was a slog. Brutal, intense and thoroughly demoralising. Players were crushed, ground up and spat out every...Read full review »

I don’t know why I love it, I just do.

I must admit I'm often not sure what’s going on but then the players are non the wiser either most of the time so I’m in good company. It’s s classic case of middle aged man’s appealing to this old middle aged man. It’s funny, I love the bickering with what is obviously old friends and for...Read full review »

I played 1st edition when it came out and haven’t played since. I love this pod cast (at episode 150) Fantastic story line, great non annoying sound track (ambient style) . The best dnd podcast out there as not over dramatised. Includes a bit of random chit chat ( cheese, beer, drooling dogs,...Read full review »

Like the chemistry. Just a bunch of chaps clearly been playing for some time who still play games they love together. Funny, engaging and entertaining. Nice one and many thanks!

As good as it gets. A masterclass in how to get the most out of the game, create something awesome and have a great laugh along the way. Fabulous. Epic. The only thing I keep coming back for week after week after week. Long may it last.

What can I say? The laughs are real and the plot lines are thick and juicy. You could do far worse than hitch your wagon to this marvellous podcast!

These chaps are alright

This is great fun for any fan of DnD over the age of 45 with a maturity of (say) 3d4 2. People who should listen: self-confessed nerds having mid-life crises; DnD fans without friends to actually play DnD; military strategists; Vin Diesel; anyone learning English as a third language;...Read full review »

The Mike DM is both harsh and kind to his party and no one knows which one is coming next. However this party deserves a place in everyone’s heart as they bumble and stumble from one plan to the next. Love it!

Are all of you professors of astronomy or literature? Perhaps geniuses with the IQs of 140+? The witty repartee, the memory to recall complex and esoteric rules, and the ability to choose the perfert word at the perfect time makes your show a maelstrom of mental fireworks. I'm agog. Truly a...Read full review »

A thoroughly entertaining d&d 5e actual play podcast! The guys have a comedic chemistry that keeps me cracking up. I also appreciate their mostly apolitical stance (at least from my American view). It’s a breath of fresh air from the overwhelming amount of “woke” ideology that is pushed in...Read full review »
ZRPGnerd via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/06/22
I really shouldn’t like this. Over complicated 5e rules, lots of maxing out character abilities, throw in a bit of meta-gaming every now and then; not what an OSR grog like me is supposed to like. BUT the interaction between the players and DM is brilliant and is EXACTLY what a D&D game is...Read full review »

Unlike Johnny’s 40 years of experience, I haven’t actually played D&D for about 40years but been getting back into gaming via gloomhaven jaws of the lion with partner and now getting nostalgic pangs to play D&D again. I looked for a podcast out of interest and now am hooked. It’s a very...Read full review »

So close to what one of our play sessions are like it’s uncanny. Mike does a great job in the DM throne, party members all have their own ‘charm’, and 41 years of experience of course.
<MoG>Moggy via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/28/21
Forty one and a half years of experience put to beautiful waste. It’s fun and charming and I’d like to join in.
Hello I'm Wags via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 06/27/21
Dan, Lucas, Graham, Paul, Mike, and Johnny light up the room with Billowng Hilltop - a truly upbeat RPG podcast. I get a kick out of hearing them play off of each other, and I think you will, too. Just finished listening to episode 35 - Walking in the Lair - and it's awesome to hear how...Read full review »

The wit and repartee between DM and heroes is splendid. The D&amp;D sessions with excellent[?] tactics by the adventurer crew and more make this a relevant manual for all “readers” of the Master strategists of the century..

As someone who has never played D &amp; D I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this! Lots of intrigue created by the dungeon master 👌🏻They all seem like nice lads but Graeme is definitely my fave Hilltopper. Can’t wait for more !

Only 5 episodes in but enjoying the mechanics of the story/playing style. You really feel like you are part of a group of friends. Having one of the players join the DM intro taking about their character is a superb way of getting to know both the players thoughts and the character creation
Spike_Thmid via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/16/20
great podcast with a great group of players, with a nice old school feel, reminds me of the games i used to play as a kid. only getting better every episode, looking forward to catching up

EP11: Intro, brilliant. I had shivers! The singing, terrifying, I loved it. The playing/combat, also awesome and creepy. fantastic!

One of the better DnD podcasts. Good story and interesting charcters. In particular that staunch backbone of the party, Grimbold Flange.
Grimbold Flange via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/10/20
Captivating gameplay accompanied with a witty back and forth between friends
Karmalarma via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/01/20
Genuinely involving story with interesting characters and an engaging host/DM. interesting that it’s written by Roleplay royalty and, in the hands of an experienced set of players (although they don’t seem too up on the rules) really zips along. Definitely one of the better live play podcasts....Read full review »

I’d always wanted to know what on earth D&amp;D was about - now I get it! Creative &amp; informative - thanks
KMogilner via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/26/19
Really interesting listen!
D&Dad374 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/23/19
Wow, I never knew D&amp;D could be so interesting!
