Grumble Revolreeb ,

Total immersion

I don’t often give 5 stars because there always room for improvement. This group and podcast really being you into the worlds and scenes they build. The story telling. The voices and characters they build. It is an amazing experience for me.

alicle11 ,

Bit too serious for me

I love this podcast but I think they are really strict around the rules of DnD and that prevents them from having and giving as much fun as they could.

Bullwinkle's bull ,

Fun way to connect with the game of my childhood

I have not been able to play since my GM passed away when we were in high school. Listening to the good times, inside jokes, and friendships in this podcast takes me back.
