HelloCaity ,

Super fun! :)

The story feels well thought-out, yet spontaneous...wonderfully geeky escapism! Definitely looking forward to hearing more! :)

Edit: After years of listening, it’s amazing how much the quality of the show has gone up since Ep. 1! They now have very professional sounding effects and music…always adding to the atmosphere, but never intrusive. And as always, edits are transparent, and really give the show a natural flow. (I don’t like the pauses you usually get from actual plays, as it makes even exciting scenes feel excruciatingly slow.) They put real love into their work, and it shows in the quality of their releases!

Hail the Chosen!

Great story, great characters, wonderful cast.
And Silvertooth is a fantastic storyteller. Give this one a listen. And please keep the audio version coming!✌️❤️🌈

Cassiroll ,

This is a fun on, folx!

Just coming in off the tail of episode two, and I love all the characters! Super fun dynamic with the party already. I enjoy them being more wary of each other at the start considering their circumstances, but I’m sure they’ll warm up to each other as the show continues. (Also the Queen is spicy) What, who said that?
