How to game? How you like!
Has a variety show feel with the different characters. Reminds me of Space Ghost, but far more interesting
Very enjoyable!
This podcast is definitely worth a listen. If you like RPGs, be they table-top or LARP, there will be something in here for you to laugh at. Very enjoyable for nerds of all stripes.
A pleasent surprise!
When I heard about the concept of this show, I thought "Man, this couldn't be any more stupid!" But after listening I have to say that this is onew of the smartest RPG-related pocasts I've ever heard!
