It starts off pretty solid but by the time they get to the second book it takes off like a rocket. Great blend of humor and drama. They do a great job telling the story while letting you still know it's a game. Best actual play I've seen or heard. Highly recommended.
This keeps getting better and better. I actually picked up the first three AP books, just to have reference for the podcast. Great blend of story telling and game play.
With the steady turnover in sovereigns for the top spot in Thrune/Cheliax, I wonder if anyone important in Egorian even has recollection of the deal with Ilnerik? Perhaps that is why he threw in his lot with the Council? I figured by design that the shadow beast terrorized enough to keep people off the streets to dissuade rebellion and humiliate Westcrown as sought by Thrune and to later allow more freedom to act for the Council. Going into the people's homes might raise too much dissent or force too much of a response. I see their use mixed between being random enough to enforce the "curfew", but targeted when needed to keep attention away from specific Council operations.
Any flip mats that have a ballroom type of layout?
I just stumbled across the glass cannon podcast and it great so far. I started randomly around episode 47 and I just finished 50. It's actually play but i think all the participants purposely add enough dramatic flair to keep it interesting while still keeping the mechanics and game play in the for front. I thinks it's really excellent. |
