Love this podcast
It's inexcusable and wrong that as of me writing this there are only three other reviews of this podcast. Along with Fear the Boot, Happy Jack's, 4 Geeks 4E, Dungeon Master Guys and NewbieDM, this is one of my favorite RPG podcasts, with plenty of useful ideas. Although yes, they do need to make use of spoiler alerts at times! But great work and keep it up!
Great start.
Postcards skips over the usual RPG topics and goes straight for the good stuff - provoking thought and giving some great examples of how to give your players a little something extra. I'm on board for the ride.
a must listen!
great work guys, love the commentary and ideas! definitely a must listen if you want to add some depth to your game sessions.
