Pleasant Surprise

Was referred to this podcast by TAZ (The Adventure Zone). These ladies are a breath of fresh air when it comes to podcasting RPG. Listening to Season 1 now, love the story structure.

WOW what a podcast

Love these ladies, they tell a great story with a little D&D thrown in. Sorry to say but it shows, especially when they do their character show. They at level 8 in 2 1/2 years or so. but that’s ok it’s still a great show. I’m sorry to hear that y’all are moving out from the Broadswords. I hope that your next endeavors work out well for you all and the best of luck

Their heads & hearts are no longer here

I started listening to this podcast in its first season. It was love at first listen! The characters are great, the dm has a slightly annoying voice (especially when she gets sing-dingy) but is fair and comes up with good storylines and npc. However, all things change. New episodes have been coming out more and more sporadically, announcements of née episodes are NOT to be trusted. The dm in particular seems to have already moved on in her head and mostly plugs her “next thing.” I’m very sad and disappointed.
