I rarely ever take a moment to review a podcast. I often think, “oh, I should do that” and then don’t.
Tabletop Escapades deserves it a review. A 5/5 scored review. Why? Let me tell you.
Ben and the other hosts/players have fun. That’s a weird place to start, right? Wrong. They aren’t afraid to bend rules, to streamline technical issues for the sake of the listening (and playing) experience.
Both the dm and cast are hilarious. They are friends and it shows.
Ben’s campaigns and worlds and characters are so detailed and well thought out. The cast’s foibles throughout are at times endearing, frustrating, hilarious, random, unexpected, and awesome. Couldn’t ask for more.
I have listened up to about half way through Season 2 and I am so bummed that the show went on hiatus. If ever the cast returned for a new adventure (or a continuation of sorts from the lore and world Ben and the others developed over the years), I would be insanely excited and grateful.
I love this show. I don’t want it to end. I cant stress that enough.
Give this a shot. Push through the first couple episodes and enjoy the ride. It’s one absolutely worth riding.
Thanks Ben, Brad, Michael, Ian, and Kyle!
