I'm 107 episodes in. it's time to say nice things about a good show! The DMing is A+, the story and setting are unique and interesting, and while the players love choosing chaos, they also play great and well played characters, that are fun getting to slowly know over time. Give it a listen! 9.9/10 (Could use more Mr Wiggles.)

I have been devouring this podcast at a manic pace as of late. my personal relationships are crumblimg as a result. the group dynamic is incredibly fun & silly even in the darkest of plot points. puns galore. & Luke, the DM, has a lovely way of speaking. he fills his characters with life (Rock Jerry owns my heart) & really immerses you in their world. 156 out of 10, cannot recommend enough

This is one of my top favorite D&D podcasts, and a hit that should not be slept on! The main squad's dynamic is fun, with each character developing their own neat personality, and you can tell that everyone involved had fun and cared about the final product! Luke's main campaign is very compelling, but he nicely splits up the main arc into smaller missions, each of which has a satisfying escalation in stakes and expanding the story at large! I found this originally from the YouTube channel, Sarah Z, as she plays Mira on this podcast, but my love for the Trial and Trebs crew has grown so much, and I've even implemented some of the jokes and ideas from this campaign into my own D&D character moments!

this is a really fun and original concept! i've never really seen any tabletop games explore the whole boarding school mystery thing, especially not a magic kind of boarding school! i'm really enjoying the dynamic between characters as well as them all having pretty well-rounded and definitive characterisations :)))
