The Sprouting

This pod & the ppl playing/acting are super entertaining. I love the characters they’ve created & the twists & turns that occur at the roll of the die. V does a fantastic job describing the world they are living in. While I’m familiar with DND, I’ve never played. After binging 26 episodes in a couple of weeks, I’m curious about giving it a go. The only bummer about this pod is NOW having to wait for a monthly drop. 😉

Love love love this group! I first started listening to their other podcast The Lucky Die and am now enjoying the new one The Sprouting. The music and sound effect score, acting, real-play, and writing are as usual all excellent, can’t recommend enough. I am also one of their Patreon supporters and if you’re able I encourage you to check out their Patreon as well, which is Fool & Scholar. Thanks for reading and have a great day :)

Nothing like the trailer. Said it was full cast and immersive audio.

Volonda has woven together an exciting and interesting post apocalyptic world. The player characters feel unique and I am looking forward to see where their arcs go. The sound design really helps build into the sense of looming dread around every corner. Little things like the clicking plants will stick fast in my mind for quite some time. The Call of Cthulhu system seems like it is the perfect fit for this new series as it doesn’t allow player characters to become too strong and heavily relies on role play instead of just attacking. The players do a great job at realistically being their characters (with just a pinch of complaining to the dice gods). Volonda‘s use of other voice actors to dub some of the bigger NPCs helps them really stand out and only further pulls you into the world.
