Legend of the Bones

I really like this podcast. There are several similar solo play podcasts that tie narrative with solo play to create an audio drama. Some are good some aren’t, but this one is great. The narrator is so well spoken and consistent. The voice acting is entertaining and makes it easy to listen to. The story is compelling. I really enjoy this one.

I’ve listened to this show from the start and it is fantastic. There is a storyline to keep things moving but enough random events to help the wider world feel real. The characters are all distinct and have their own personalities which makes it easy to get invested in their survival. Which makes the combats all the more more stressful as there really are no guardrails up and the combats can be incredibly tense / dangerous. The creator credits “Tale of the Manticore” but has put his own spin on the solo play genre. The voices, sound effects, and music are all well-done as well.

Legend of the Bones is a masterful example of the solo play, audio drama genre. Not only are the narratives well woven and engaging, but the audio quality and voice acting are always of the highest caliber.

When I think of solo TTRPG podcasts, Legend of the Bones is right up there at the top. So good!
