Makes me laugh

They are exceedingly funny and I love how the gm pulls plot threads together that seem pretty disparate initially.

Awesome podcast!

PTBP is one of the best rpg podcasts out there! Great writing, great production, and great fun!

Just what I was looking for

The glass cannon network has a great (but short) couple of seasons of delta green- which I highly recommend, but this pod is the long form version, these guys play the system really well, with enough fun jokes to make you smile without ruining the tone of the story.

Great job guys! Really well done!
