I love the concept, which is the parents' greatest fear, that D&D players will take the game so seriously that they won't be able to tell what is the game and wihat is reality, when the reality is that they are trapped in the game world. Do they choose to act as their characters, or as themselves? And what if those characters want to override their normal personalities? Do they allow it or fight the internal characters to be themselves? Kirk Warrington handles all the voices, and does a good job of protraying them. Unfortunately, he has some problems pronouncing certain words correctly. This can get confusing, and I have to back up and replay the word several times before I get it. Katana is the most often mispronounced word, but by no means the only one.

It's been many years since I first listened but in still a fan. It starts off slow and the presentation takes a little while to get used to. However, I found it well worth the listen. What I first considered "flaws" grew to become part of its charm. Love it!

I really enjoyed the story and characters. The pronunciation of a few words did get to me at first but I am glad I did not let it cause me to drop this podcast. These words were katana and bouy (spelling incorrect) that I noticed. In the Q&A episode pronunciation and pauses were explained. But the pauses were not something I really noticed. For the Clue edition by anonymous I thought it was funny. Nice short story. I love the long episodes and the ending to DA. I would like to hear a DA2. I hope enough people message Kirk with me to get it. Check out Kirk's podcast short story The Show about werewolves (also good).

Story really brought me in. Wish there were more books, though. I really enjoyed this.
