The Apocalypse Players - Podcast Rankings and reviews

The Apocalypse Players podcast delivers what I imagine those lucky listeners of yesteryear got to experience hearing Orson Welles perform War of the Worlds - passion, glee, ambience, mood, mischief, mayhem, and a chance to believe in the unbelievable, to be frightened by the impossible, and play along with every pull of the thread and push of the roll. Vivid storytelling, engaging characters brought to life by skilled improvisers, and top-notch sound design and editing. And the music - hearing the intro kick in provides the same rush as the opening themes to Game of Thrones or Mad Men or Sherlock. A wonderful treat and a lovely way to spend an hour. Can’t wait for more.

Fast becoming my favorite actual play RPG pod. A rare bird in this genre, the Apocalypse Players are equally at home making me laugh out loud as they are at creating genuinely unsettling and dramatic existential horror.
Bravo & More Please!

P.S. Joining their Patreon is well worth the spend.

I just discovered The Apocalypse Players in December and am now fully caught up! I’m happy I listened from the beginning, because there are small references to previous episodes scattered throughout. Each scenario has been a delight to listen to, but I especially love the original scenarios written by the players. Everyone is excellent, whether playing the role of keeper or investigator, and the guest stars are always a real treat. Now that I’m all caught up, I’ll have to check out the Patreon content!

One of the best actual play podcasts in the crowded world of such podcasts. Top notch improvisation while honoring the mechanics of the game. Glad to see more guests joining to broaden, diversify and enrich the experience.
