Voyagers of the Jump - An Original Traveller Campaign

I was sick over the holiday and wanted to listen to something new. So, over the last week, I binged the first two seasons. I’ve been a fan of a lot of GCNs work and am a big Traveller fan. I love the spin Matthew and the players put on the game and the setting so much it’s got me thinking about my own Traveller game! The players created unique and engaging characters with just the right amount of backstory to give the adventures context. Their interactions and banter are top notch. Matthew crafted two fantastic stories over the course of both seasons. They were mysterious, intelligent, and fresh. It really shows how you can stretch the game and it’s settings into new directions. Love it, love the cast, and can’t wait for a season three!

Season 1 was epic and a great example of how fun Traveler can be, and so far Season 2 is excellent! Great writing from Matthew, and great content from the cast! Thanks so much all of you!

If you're accustomed to the quality of other Glass Cannon Network shows, dial those expectations down for this show. Skid and Sydney are there, and they're brilliant as always, but the rest of the crew are disappointing. Matthew stutters and stumbles his way through his own by-the-numbers Traveller adventures. They're just not interesting. Season 1 has a disappointing deus ex machina "twist" at the end that reminds me of the worst Star Trek TNG episodes. Season 2 is just boring. But worse than that are their other two players. Seth knows Traveller well, but his audio just isn't up to the regular GCN standard, and he is terrible about talking over the other players or drowning them out by laughing at his own jokes. Alicia's audio quality is even worse, and then worse again because of her poor mic discipline, and then worse again because her voice is like nails on a chalkboard. She also seems to have a hard time keeping up with what's going on. I'm sure they're very nice people, and I'm sure they're trying their best, but they're taking what would already be a middling podcast into not-very-good territory. There are better actual-play podcasts out there, including from the Glass Cannon Network. Go listen to those instead.

This is a great podcast. Sound quality is great just like all other GCN podcasts. My one complaint is that one of the podcast members seems to check out here and there during the podcast and then pop back in somewhat aware of the situation. Makes for a odd listen.
