Came for the Mothership, stayed for the hijinx

Ok hijinx maybe a stretch but the interaction of the players is relaxed & fun to listen to. They do a good job of editing, and still keeping enough normal table conflict in place so it doesn’t feel completely scripted. It’s also nice to listen to a RPG podcast that breaks away from a fantasy settings. I know about the previous seasons but there are too many good games out there to be limited to 5e D&D. So excellent job!

Began doing a second listen of the show and have to say I really the appreciate the unique show themes and sound work. NWTB is using this small detail of sound to build a very nicely connected and consistent universe.

NOICE!

I listen to all their Mothership content! Best I have heard. They use mostly published adventure modules, which I like to listen to for ideas when I run them. Great balance of editing and still having it seem like a game more than a scripted show. Short episode intros (no social media plugs from each player here, which I like. They just get to the good stuff). Funny outtakes at the end of episodes. Hall of the kazoo king used as argument soundtrack. Good stuff!
