One Shot

What a show! I just started listening to One Shot this year, having found it when I was looking for reference on how to play Godkiller, and whoa! What life this show has! The host Dillin breathes so much life into every episode, and the casts they choose are diverse and talented. Listening to it really sounds like a bunch of friends gathered around a table playing games, but the production quality is far higher. It deems fun, intimate, and exciting. So far, I have learned about and played three new games I’d otherwise have never heard of before thanks to this show and Dillin’s recommendations. Great to listen to alone or with friends!

The podcast feels very home-y! Like I’m sitting at the table with the players.

Can’t wait to hear what new games Dillin brings to a show I already love so much. Didn’t know I could love it more!!

I wish I had reviewed this show sooner so it could be five stars. But since Dillin took over, I haven't liked it as much. The groups are more chaotic and rambunctious, the audio quality is poorer, and it feels like very little gets done in each episode. And I know it's unfair to compare DIllin to James, but he's just not as good. His NPCs are thin, and have maybe two or three voices. One Shot has always been good for "if you don't like this game and group, wait and check out the next one." But since Dillin took over I've only finished one series, and even that one was close because the other performer had an annoying... catch phrase, I guess? I'm hoping it gets better as Dillin continues to find their footing, but I'm leaving this review now while it's still a 3 star show for me just in case.
