Spider Fact: there’s a lot of good spiders in this show

Feel like this is the best example of a actual-play podcast where a lot of the characters have DEEPLY complicated relationships with each other and they actually get to be fleshed out and developed, rather than get crushed into neat friendships or gritting their teeth and working together. The PCs WILL throw the whole narrative into disarray so they can take turns strangling each other, and it’s great. Superb players all around, Quentin Brooks has my soul.
