The Arcology Shadowrun Community Podcast The Arcology Shadowrun Community Podcast

I only started listening to the Arcology in 2019 and am currently chewing my way through the backlog. Up to episode 111 at the moment.

I’ve really enjoyed this show, which clearly acts as a hub in the community, providing unbiased reviews and commentary on the products and a great Segway into other SR podcasts.

The reason I kept listening to the Arcology over some of the other podcasts available is the good organization of each episode. There’s no rambling, inside talk or talking over each other between the hosts, which makes for a pleasant listening experience. Mr. Johnson is also very familiar with both the setting and the system, which makes both the Fluff and Crunch talk worth every minute. This show has really helped me get my home group back up and running, so thank you for that and keep doing what you’re doing =)

The content would be good if it was better produced. Most of the time is spent waiting for dice rolling, rules lookups and filling in people who were AFK (which happens all the time during an episode). Especially that last thing is very annoying and really feels like a waste of the listeners' time. A pet peeve for me is one of the players who keeps saying "I dislike you, Samwise Gamgee" for no apparent reason. All in all this is a total snooze fest, which is a shame because it could have been good with better disciplined players and better editing (or just some editing at all).
