A DnD podcast about goofballs on the edge of the afterlife. When ghosts, necromancers, and magical monstrosities raise a ruckus in the land of the living, the Skulltenders will answer! Join a cat-lady rogue, an owl with human legs, and their inflexible Gooman chaperone in a hilarious and horrifying tabletop adventure that mixes the thrilling pacing of monster-of-the-week play with the addictive intrigue of a long-term campaign. Professional game-writer Cohen Edenfield draws on a decade of DMing to delight and terrorize webcomics titan KC Green, gamer culture luminary Jess O’Brien, and punk rocker Amber Carr, AKA “the Horror Games Elvira.†Tight editing, immersive sound design, and Seth Boyer’s original music round out what many friends and family members of the cast are calling “the perfect D&D podcast.â€
I have been on the hunt for a Dungeons and Dragons real play podcast that can match the level of enjoyment I found in Dungeons and Daddies, and I am thrilled to say that The Skulltenders podcast has finally delivered. From the moment I started listening, I was hooked. The characters, the world-building, and the technical quality all come together to create an incredible experience that keeps me eagerly awaiting each new episode.
One of the best aspects of The Skulltenders is the fantastic balance between humor and dramatic tension. The cast members have created unique and hilarious characters that bring so much laughter to each episode, but at the same time, there are moments of genuine emotion that tug at your heartstrings. The chemistry between Cohen Edenfield as the DM and Amber, KC, and Jess as the players is palpable, making every interaction feel natural and engaging. Additionally, Cohen's storytelling skills shine through as he weaves an overarching premise of living in a fading world. This provides a meaningful backdrop for the characters' adventures and adds depth to their experiences.
In terms of technical quality, The Skulltenders surpasses my expectations. The sound design is top-notch, allowing me to fully immerse myself in this atmospheric world they have created. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of production, from crystal clear audio to seamless editing. It's apparent that a lot of time and effort went into ensuring that listeners have a smooth listening experience.
While it's difficult to find any negatives about this podcast, if I had to point out one potential drawback, it would be that some listeners may not connect with or appreciate the style of humor presented by the cast members. Comedy can be subjective, and what one person finds hilarious may not resonate with another. However, even if you don't align perfectly with their style of humor, there are still plenty of other aspects to enjoy in this podcast.
In conclusion, The Skulltenders podcast is a gem that stands out in the realm of real play D&D podcasts. The dedication and hard work of the cast and crew are evident in every episode, resulting in a highly entertaining and engaging listening experience. I am excited to see where they take the story next and eagerly await each new installment. If you're looking for a podcast that will make you laugh, tug at your heartstrings, and transport you to an immersive world, I highly recommend giving The Skulltenders a listen.
