Bennyburr ,

Great Live Play Podcast!

About 30 episodes in after listening to a crossover with Dumbgeons and Dragons and am absolutely loving the show! Great chemistry within the party, engaging story line, excellent DM’ing, relatable humor. Everything I could hope for.

Truly Amazing

I started listening to this podcast after hearing about it on The Lucky Die. I decided to give it a listen one morning and never stopped!! I need more!!

Biased GMing, inconsistent rules.

If you prefer your games where the GM treats all players equally, and doesn’t make up rules off the top of his head, then this show is NOT for you.

I came over from DnD is for Nerds, and this was a waste of my time. Check out DDifN if you want a MUCH better real-play podcast.
