More Dillin!

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!!

Just Another Brian ,

One Shot’s New Host is EXCELLENT

One Shot is a pillar of the actual play community and the new host, Superdillin, is breathing new life into this already excellent show. If you’ve listened to One Shot before, you’re going to LOVE everything Dillin is doing. If you’ve never listened, now might just be the time to start. The easiest five-star rating I’ve ever given.

Quitters Prosper ,

Not Scott

I just discovered this and really like it but have to remind myself constantly that the host is not Scott Auckerman…

Is there such a thing as a voice doppelgänger?
