Humor, drama, & quality storytelling
What makes this podcast stand out is a combination of the things it does really well. The characters are varied and delightful, and the players do a good job of being true to their character while still managing to surprise you from time to time. The story line is interesting and has a decent pace; listeners are regularly introduced to new places and people but there’s continuity and character growth as well. And - there’s really good chemistry between the GM and players. Their humor and banter (both in and out of character) provide a satisfying balance to the tension and horror of the setting. It makes it so you can really appreciate the dramatic moments without being overloaded by the darker aspects of the story.
