Customer Reviews
Most-Digestable Actual Play out there
I really enjoyed this podcast for a few reasons. Nearly all of the characters are great, the horrors that Jason dreams up are truly awful, and the mystery is vague enough to stay interesting.
The real sizzle here, however is the editing. This show has the tightest editing of any AP podcast and the result is snappy episodes that don’t challenge the attention span.
Also I stole Simon and the Eight-Legged She and dropped them directly into my own game to incredible effect.
A great AP and a wonderful tool for your DW game.
This podcast is an absolute gift to folks like me who are new to Dungeon World. If you've been reading the DW book but really just needed to hear it in action to get your bearings then you've come to the right place.
It's also a very well done actual play with experinced gamers who trust each other to run a serious narrative with naturally occuring comedic elements. I am pretty sick of the AP's that are more about getting laughs then a compelling shared story experience. WHtK is a refreshing reminder that story, character development, and creative thoughtfulness can also provide a very entertaining product.
My New Favorite AP
An excellent GM runs a great game for a fun group of players with some pretty delightful characters, enhanced by the fact that it wasn't intended to be a public performance. If you're interested in Dungeon World, this is a fantastic example of how to run/engage with/tweak the system, how to be a flexible GM, and how to be a collaborative player. If you're just interested in listening to a good story and having a fun time, this podcast is that too. The bite-sized chunks of AP are addictive, and I crave more.
