"You see a Podcast. Do you want to go in?"
Up until a couple of weeks ago I had no idea what a Grognard was, let alone have any awareness that I was one. I came to this podcast after being sucked through an internet wormhole that mysteriously opened one afternoon; a portal that appeared after a sudden onset of nostalgia for old school RPGs. Now, I can’t help binge listening my way through these thoroughly engaging and amiable podcasts. I never actually played that many games back in the day but I did spend many, many hours reading the rulebooks, leafing through 'White Dwarf' and drawing up dungeons. The Grognard files brings it all back; a Proustian rush of dice, tables, arguments, maps and memories. Thanks to Dirk and his fellow Botonian gamers I feel inspired to start a games night of my own and find out what it’s like to play these games again as an adult. Great listening and highly recommended.Read full review »

I came across these episodic delights a few months back but have waited until I've listened to them all before leaving a review. Dirk, the welcoming host, has an easy going, laid back style who clearly puts a lot of prep into the content he covers. That content covers mainly the RPG scene...Read full review »
