If you like immersive world dynamics, narratively flavored game mechanics, and a chilling narrative of where the X files episodes are experienced by a witch an arcanist and a cyborg, then this hole was made for you. Dive deep little rabbits.
1.) beautiful thank you 2.) he went so long it broke the timer and kept going
what is up with the udio sync on this ep?
still my top Actual Play Podcast
excellent finale! great writing!
Wish i could help, I'm on android
you guys are great! i like the game mechanics. great job
this is a stunning work of art. the story telling is beautifully horrifying and everything you want it to be
The story is so engaging! It's superpowers taking on the supernatural. Overdue Book was so creepy, but in the best ways. Worth the listen!
This isn't for me. However if you really enjoyed listening to 4 people playing a D&D mission, well this is for you. Minus the dice and moves of course. Personally l found all the talking and discussion annoying. Choosing to put in 120 odd hours of your time, well you would have to enjoy it. A lot.
Great actual play podcast, there have been times I have cheered on public transport (battle of Chicago) and wept openly at work ("I wish [spoiler] had f@#+ing done it right!"). Be prepared for the oncoming rush of emotions as the whole cast bring you into their world/story. Also, great for binge listening (start from the beginning, trust me, it's worth it).
One part Arkham Horror to one part Superhero with enough MI:6 in there for good measure, makes for an awesome podcast that has me hooked and eagerly waiting for the next episode!
My friend recommended this podcast to me a week and a half ago, and I'm already on episode 41. Please keep up the excellent work.
Probably my top actual play podcast!
awesome podcast
