“TL:DR this podcast will shock you with deep feelings and complex worldbuilding, give it a few episodes to get the story rolling and you’ll get hooked.
I’ve become familiar with Brennan Lee Mulligan’s unparalleled improv abilities regarding worldbuilding and game mastering and Lou Wilson’s hilarious full committal to comedic bits through Fantasy High and was excited to see a podcast from them, as it is more accessible that videos sometimes. Erika and Aabria were also familiar names and faces although I hadn’t seen full games with them. It took me two or three episodes to get excited about the story and to come to appreciate the characters for and despite their often abrasive personalities (*cough* Suvi) but now that I’ve caught the vision and have made my way through the whole first arc, I’m dumbfounded by the thought put into this story and by the weight of the characters’ decisions. In a way I haven’t with other actual play adventures, I felt deeply the emotions communicated by the characters and the dynamics in which they find themselves. I’m excited for continuation of the stories of Ame, Eursalon, and Suvi and will certainly stay caught up with the show in a way that I haven’t with youtube actual plays.”
