So funny!
I fell down laughing listening to this! Musical theatre and D and D, I didn’t know that a podcast like this existed!
Perfect for a Gamer and a Theater Nerd!
I started listening to this podcast during the pandemic in 2020. My anxiety and nerves were at a level like I had never experienced before and the chatter and banter of a podcast became the only thing that could settle my mind. I have friends who play D&D and as much of a gamer as I am, that particular game seems to have passed me by entirely, much like my love of theater seems to have skipped most of my friends. This podcast made me laugh and smile on days where I thought it was impossible to do so and motivated me to start learning D&D. Please, please do more episodes. The theater and gaming nerds need this show as do ordinary folks who just need an escape from their troubles. Highly recommended!
Great for D&D noobs!
This podcast is great for any performer or ex-performer (I stopped I high school) who has even the slightest interest in fantasy or games! I know nothing about D&D, but the dungeon master's storytelling and the players' acting immediately transported me to the land of Emperia and it’s magical, show-stopping mysteries. And sooooo many Broadway puns! I hope there’s more on the way! It makes me want to get into D&D myself!
