    Ivy Insights

    The Save The D8 podcast is a hidden gem in the world of actual play podcasts. From the moment I started listening, it felt like sitting down at a table with friends, cracking jokes, and rolling dice. The charm of this podcast lies in its less polished nature, which gives it an authentic and relatable feel. Unlike other AP games, Save The D8 offers a plethora of actual choices for quests and NPCs with different options, making it a truly interactive experience. The story may have a direction, but the multiple paths to get there keep things interesting and unpredictable.

    One of the best aspects of Save The D8 is its well-rounded and real characters. Each member of the group has managed to craft unique personalities that you can laugh both at and with. This authenticity brings the characters to life and adds depth to their interactions and dynamics. Furthermore, the players genuinely seem to have fun embodying their characters rather than just striving for comedic moments or typical character archetypes. This makes for an engaging and enjoyable listening experience.

    In terms of drawbacks, one might argue that Save The D8 lacks some polish compared to larger actual play podcasts. While this may be true to an extent, I believe it only adds to its charm. The occasional rough edges are easily overshadowed by the creativity and inventiveness of the gameplay. Additionally, some listeners might prefer a more scripted feel to their actual play podcasts, but personally, I find the freedom and multiple choices offered by Save The D8 to be refreshing.

    In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Save The D8 as a must-listen podcast for fans of storytelling and Dungeons & Dragons alike. It's a fun adventure filled with amusing characters that will keep you entertained every week. Whether you're new to D&D or a seasoned player, this podcast offers something for everyone. So grab your dice, buckle up for an exciting journey, and join in on the laughter and camaraderie of the Save The D8 crew.
