    "A knight is not a sword. A knight is a shield."

    I don't think any D&D show has ever made me feel fear the way Suvi's part did. I've felt fear for characters as characters before, but this was the first time I felt it from the perspective of the character, I really felt like I was the tiny kid hiding, not understanding what is going on, and being moved around by the adults in her life through this scary situation

      I feel the same way. I have sensitivity to sound (misophonia) as well as pretty intense tinnitus due to my military service. I have to constantly manage the volume since the CC is not accurate. The sharpness of the screams and squeals, and some of the little background sounds are almost unbearable for me. But I love these performers so much in everything they do, so I stick with it. I wish there was CCs so badly.

    Not even episode one yet and this is easily the best piece of fantasy media I have ever consumed. It makes me so mad that Brennan makes dming look so easy, I aspire to be such a smooth and compelling storyteller as he is (not to take credit away from the rest of the cast's contribution, they performed beautifully as well).
    I would just like to also mention how moved I was by Lou's section, where y'all basically just redefined what magic is in such a beautiful way by showing how magical a knight of honor is to a forest spirit. A reminder that there is magic in every corner of life, you just have to discover it. I cried bro, this shit is art!!!!

    Ame's entire portion of this, from the things that happen and how she interacts with Grandma Wren and Taro, from how Erika and Brennan perform it, and down to the musical backing throughout... is the cutest thing to ever be created in the history of the universe, and I dare anyone to fight me on that! 😂

    So many feelings. Three parts delivered with such care and skill. Brennan is an improv actor primarily, and his skill of improvisation extends to all aspects of his thought and his life. The way he can embody anything at any time, a scene, a person, a setting, a feeling. His ability comes from revelry in the moment, the distillation of understanding of each sparkling second as it passes. Decades of practice and love and sheer passion for storytelling, for meaning, for knowledge and understanding, for being human. It's utterly mesmerizing.

    I'm only 40 minutes it.
    I heard about this podcast in early January- maybe before January? I can't quite remember.
    I *do* remember not ever finding an episode because it hadn't been released yet!
    Fast forward to the date stamp on this comment- I wake up in the morning and while scrolling through socials while I get dressed and brush my teeth for just an average day, I see something talking about this and how "it's NPR if they made a DnD podcast".
    Now I don't know anything about NPR, never listened to it- I just know that people really like it for whatever reason.
    Having been reminded of how I love dnd and I was interested in the podcast before it released- I came to find that "hey, they've released episodes. Let's give it a listen"
    15 minutes later, in my car, tears dripping to my cheeks off the word "Soft". 20 minutes later after that, grinning like a hobbit who got to enjoy not just 2nd breakfast, but a 3rd breakfast, as there is a grumbling 7 year old angry that a rooster woke them up.
    Absolutely incredible.
    Like.
    MASTERFULLY done.
    I can't stress enough how picky I am with things I consider to be in the upper echelons of ranking and/or opinions such as "perfection" "masterpiece" or "truly #1"
    This is something- 40 minutes in, that I am insisting must be some form of masterpiece.
    I can't wait to get more. I'm 100% on board
