Came for the Mothership and stayed for the engaging arcs and fun characters. Tom is a great GM who runs with the players ideas while still keeping the pace up. The players are all great role players who keep the character at the forefront. Just a great time and easily the best shorter form actual play podcast. (Also the YouTube versions are great too.)

The is the best actual RPG out there! The games master is clever and creative and bends rules for laughs or story. The cast tend to be hilarious and find the most entertaining ways to accomplish their goals. Often playing to their characters weaknesses and their own detriment. Really top tier editing and sound as well. Love this podcast and would gladly pay for more episodes to come out faster.

This podcast does everything right. First the Keeper of Arcane Lore was fantastic as he described the scenes and played the NPC. Second the players actually role played which makes watching FUN and the podcast barable. Third, the players introduced their characters at the beginning. This is a key to good game podcasting.
