I have been following this podcast for quite a while now. I thoroughly enjoy the storytelling and the different worlds explored. It has introduced me to the possibilities of RPG&#39;s with settings and game mechanics other than D&amp;D. I also like all the speakers and the energy they bring, I can feel that they enjoy playing together and are passionate about what they are doing. This is a podcast you should definetly check out!

Wonderful role-playing

I may be biased, but this podcast has fantastic worldbuilding and storytelling. Don&#39;t miss it!

Great worldbuilding
