Customer Reviews
Not enough of the characters are Joel
More of the characters should be Joel.
A lovely time of angst
Believable characters, great gming and a really quirky humor that continues to delight. I absolutely recommend critical bits!
A beautiful kaleidoscope of humor, horror and humanity
I found this podcast based off of an ad in Rude tales of magic, liked it so much I burned through the whole archive in a month and change. The player characters are funny, flawed, and relatable, with arcs of personal growth and stakes that make you really feel and root for them. The world building and narrative is a masterpiece blending deep themes, irreverent social satire, and improvisational story telling. If you like body horror, superhero stories with a twist, and antifacism you’ll like this.
