Players are very obsessed with penises.

“Don’t get me wrong, I love every one of the hosts on other podcasts and this is not meant to be an admonishment of them. I just don’t connect with their style of humor like I wish I did in this particular show and I didn’t expect the show to be both “mature” and “immature” simultaneously. This style clearly works for plenty of people so this is just my opinion and I won’t pretend the hosts even need to change it up if they feel this is working for them as is.

Going in I wasn’t expecting anything high brow but I also wasn’t expecting the target audience to be 12 year old boys either. This show seems somewhat immature and while others may enjoy that, for me it ruins an otherwise great performance as the players go on a very well-thought-out adventure in a wholly custom and unique world.
It feels as though any time I’m about to get immersed in the story we end up spending five to ten minutes discussing the minute details of Nash having no penis (an odd thing focus on during character creation to say the least). But it doesn’t stop there. All the way from the “Buxom Confederate” in Slave Town to the area of the world map known as “The Teet” there seem to be an abundance of potty and sexual humor that is way too dry and frequent to be funny. There’s a shared orgy daydream with the adventurers and a big worm, an entire episode where Nash (the penisless character) takes a big steamy dump, and the next day he has some very uncomfortably role-played intercourse with an NPC that regrows his penis temporarily.
If it didn’t feel like they talked about penises or poop at least once (often more) every episode then it wouldn’t be so bad. It’s to the point now where I sometimes have to turn it off because the amount of cringe I’m experiencing is too intense. Inevitably I come back and continue listening because everything else is so well done. Kristen, Kyle, and Jon’s characters are superb, especially Kyle’s character Vorel. I wish I could experience those characters in a slightly more serious campaign.
I’m not a prude. The occasional sex or potty joke can be hilarious when timed right in an otherwise more mature story. It’s when it is constant and relentless that I start to feel like a stay-at-home mom taking care of three boys under the age of 12. You can only take so much before you need to go hide in a closet with a box of wine.”

“TWBD has never disappointed. Funny, great characters, exciting encounters and even poignant at times.
I’m enjoying the new season in particular bringing in guest players.
Thoroughly satisfying D&D. Keep up the good work y’all.”

“I am- I’ll say it- a DND nerd, and if any other DND nerds are reading this, I recommend this very much. I only have 2 complaints about this show: 1. Waaaaay too many indecent jokes. I haaaaate all the jokes. Sure, the occasional joke in that category is funny, when well timed, but when overused,...”Read full review »
