Love the podcast

Rene does a great job explaining and making complicated games understandable for a novice like myself. I’m so excited he is putting this passion into a podcast and sharing it with the masses. Thank you.

Great actual play with Awesome Content

Rene, member of the DM's After Dark crew, has branched out to become the defacto master of Solo Play and just generally great editing. He is very smooth in his delivery and I look forward to many more Rene Plays Games content.
