The Cult of Tea And Dice Podcasts

As if the title couldn't endear me enough to this podcast, (being the consumated hoarder of both tea and dice that I am) an animal focused RPG just knocks my socks off. I loved the mini tea review, and the warm camraderie the cast shares with one another. At times there is a bit of an echo that makes it hard to hear in the recording, but overall I was utterly delighted and will be returning, eager for more!!

A lot of actual play podcasts have come and gone over the years, but these folks settled on a winning formula oh so long ago and have done wonders with it. Bringing a variety of systems to life, they approach gaming with a collaborative spirit and sense of humor that would be the envy of many a gaming group. I fear though that in order to maintain the consistency that is so hard to achieve with such endeavors, the team behind this show have used production techniques that may not be to everyone’s taste. Nevertheless, it is something that I wholeheartedly recommend everyone check out.

I really love the tea critique at the beginning of the episodes. When I first startd listening, ny first thought was that the sound quality was a bit wonky and I wondered if I would be able to continue listening. after about 5 minutes the audio quality was less of a concern after hearing the cast roleplay! so exciting and engrossing! And as an american, I think everyone sounds so fancy! it even had me wanting to drink tea!

I was recommended this cast and I will say up front that body horror is not my thing, but I can say for sure that if someone is into it, they'll like this podcast. The Keeper (I think that's what they're called in Cthulu games) does their job brilliantly and definitely was able to spook me out. I rated 4/5 because I did have some issues with tapping/typing that were really disruptive to my experience (I mean, thank you, for saving me from my subconscious) but I also have an APD that makes those kinds of noises particularly troublesome, so it's probably more of an accessibility issue, and most folks, especially those with a love of horror, could probably overlook it. Overall a great cast of characters with a great Keeper bringing on (and beating up) the creeps.
