Customer Reviews
Great game discussion on Traveller
I appreciate that Bob and Jeff dedicate the whole podcast to just Traveller, and the fact that they discuss all aspects of the game means it’s always rewarding.
Gameplay, rules, cons, game design and more - this podcast did a lot to rekindle my interest in Traveller enough to begin a new game.
Two guys talking about a game they love, no more, no less!
Love it
Thank you for this great podcast guys!
Not a Traveller podcast.
Nice guys. Horrible podcast. It’s rambling. It feels like there’s maybe twenty minutes of Traveller information in any given episode. They even talked about how much they ramble in one episode and mentioned that maybe they should cut down their episodes. Please! Thirty minute episodes without constant rambling would be great. Or do not call this a Traveller podcast. That might also be helpful.
