Customer Reviews
Great series!
First off, Hyperborea is a great RPG system and the 3rd Edition is amazing!
With that said, this podcast is great. The players do a really good job with getting immersed into their characters and yet maintain a level of normalcy with who they are as real people.
They are not trying to overact or be something they are not. They play the game and follow/help create the story but are not overly serious or afraid to have fun as friends should. They exemplify what a TTRPG is all about.
The referee does a great job at keeping the story moving yet allows the players a wide berth with creative storytelling and “plot points” that ultimately keep players involved and having fun and the story benefits greatly from it!
I am so thankful for what I have seen in this series so far and am looking forward for more to come.
Hats off gentlemen!
Great!
I’m not a huge fan of actual plays but this one is fantastic. Simple as that.
