    Episode 2: Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Kill Ooze

    Having talked their way into a free stay at the resort, our heroes gather their strength, then face their greatest challenge yet: getting covered with mud. Malachi listens to music, Regin goes for a swim, and Fin gets lost in the sauce.
     
    Note: the audio quality is a little weird in some parts of this one. We were figuring some things out! Sorry!

    Episode 3: Serve!

    With their first job complete, our heroes indulge in all that the Blue Fin Tropical Resort has to offer—spas, snacks, and especially beach volleyball. They also manage to spend a little time learning more about the unfolding mystery of the cube. Regin wants to steal, Fin meets his hero, and Malachi punishes himself.

Don’t let the title FOOL you!

Haha! These clambakers aren’t such fools as they make themselves out to be! If it’s foolish to make a podcast such as great as this one is, then I myself would like to be foolish! HA! Fools they say! A ship of them in fact? Not on my watch! No thanks! In order for to create and star in a film as enjoyable as this one is, there must be at least one someone who is NOT foolish I’ll tell you that much! Perhaps there is there’s a smart one among them after all? Among Us? Like the vidyo game! Haha! Don’t look at me.

DD ≠ LARP

Was always under the naive impression that Dungeons and Dragons was a subset of Live Action Role-Play. After having a traumatic experiencing in a niche LARP community, I did not think Dungeons and Dragons was for me.

This podcast has convinced me otherwise. Truly poetic Dungeon Master and a phenomenal cast of characters. Will most certainly continue to listen and plan to try and become a Dungeon Master myself. Bravo!

I can see in color now

I couldn’t see in color before I listened to this podcast. Now I can - it was that enlightening. Thank you Ship Of Fools for changing my life.
