WWW #6: Fresh Fish
The new kids learn the ropes around Port Talon. Press the flesh, as it were. First impressions are so important. Making new friends is easy. Unless...you don't think someone might try to take advantage of the- no don't even say it. Who would do such a thing. Nobody in Port Talon, that's for sure. Great town. Good schools.

Wow
Maybe the best collaborative storytelling I’ve ever seen. The story is so incredible and immersive that it will drag you out of reality and put you right in the moment. Please never stop the show. It’s perfect.
Can we talk about the sound design tho?
Not enough that Brennan is one of the most inventive and compelling DMs and storytellers. Not enough that the players, Aabria, Erika, and Lou, are so adept at reacting as and understanding the strengths and flaws of their characters that they can collectively develop powerful growth arcs and hammer these huge emotional beats. Not enough that the world is so vivid, nope, it’s not enough. They ALSO had to come thru with incredibly immersive sound design?
How do y’all go SO hard???
I want to love it but I can’t
I waited a long time to review this to see if I would get used to it as I love Aabria, Lou, and Brennan and I love the story that the four of these folks are telling. That being said I find the podcast incredibly difficult to listen to as I just think it is over sound mixed with too much happening and too many unnecessary and unnecessarily loud sound effects thrown in at random. It repeatedly takes me out of the story and it routinely takes me far longer to listen to episodes because of it. In some episodes I've even given up and read the transcripts to get the plot to go on to future episodes.
