As someone who knows absolutely nothing about RPGs, Dom is really carrying this for me. Everyone else is hilarious and clearly having fun, but Dom is just brilliant. He's making the rules easy to follow, his narration is incredibly immersive, and he's getting to flex his considerable acting chops. Hopefully he sees this comment or someone shows him because he's really outdone himself.

@Z3DT 10 ай бұрын

If you don't already, I highly recommend his podcast The Apocalypse Players. I'm currently listening to their adventure Machine Tractor Station Kharkov-36 and while the audio quality is a bit rough in the first two episodes, the atmosphere makes up for it. Dom's a(n excellent) player in that particular scenario, but he's the Keeper for some others like the first one, the Cracked and Crooked Manse.

I couldn’t agree more. Admittedly, this was my first time watching a NRB video, but as an avid watcher of different RPG streams, you ALL are so much more talented than the majority of the established RPG streams out there. It would be a waste of wonderful talent if you did not commit more time to TTRPG projects. I’m certain they would be incredibly popular, as I’m sure this series is, and will be in the coming episodes. Thank you!

@QuJee Жыл бұрын

I love this episode (to the point I'm rewatching it again) but I'm not a fan of their Fiasco play through. Maybe it's because Dom gives proper guidance, but if they do more (which they should), it should be stuff with a GM curating the experience. Fiasco at times felt off and too random.

She's totally different person than we know from the board games videos. It's a shame we'll have to wait for another episode, I'll watch the whole thing straight away.
