Thirsty Puppet ,

Stop reading this reveiw and listen already!

The TI crew are amazing, from their easy and engaging manner to the music and even the supporting artwork everything is top-notch.

They evoke a rich and often quirky world and fill it with characters ranging from compelling to absurd. More power to them for switching between a range of accents at the drop of a hat too.

If you appreciate D&D, comedy, not being on fire, the concept of fun itself or just listening to other humans speak. This is a podcast just for you.

R.I.P. Cinnamon Sticks, you were the greatest of us all.

Volly Londa ,

Spoopy and Fun

This podcast is great fun - chilled, relaxed, like you're sitting in a room with your friends playing D&D: they show the simple joy of playing an improve story with your friends.
The DM has a great way of describing the currently spooky world and all the players have interesting and great characters that you'll want to follow. The music used isn't too loud or distracting and enhances the scene.
Listen to this if you want to know more about Kent Brickwood, Pot and Pans Man, Vendelar Greymire and ..... :D Spoilers!
