I did enjoy the pilot and I fully believe Colin that this was a huge effort to produce (and write!).

In comparison to the other actual play podcasts I listen to I think I was missing more engagement from the players. For this to work (for me), it must feel like the gang actually wants to play this game regularly together and not have it be something that happens to them/they purely have to perform for.

I’d happily trade quality of the production for a loser, more conversational vibe.

But overall, definitely the kind of content I‘d listen to!

I have mixed feelings towards SFA (as I have with any Star Trek show), but they really should give these new experimental shows some time to find their groove.

I still wonder what ENT would have become if it had gotten the full seven seasons …

I enjoyed this one. I didn't mind the gore that much, but I could have done without the last shot of the Griffin …

I didn’t watch any of the promotional material for this episode, so I was surprised by the dino appearance!

I enjoyed this episode, even if it wasn’t the hardest/realistic sci-fi story.

One of my favourites! Brad Dourif as Lon Suder is fantastic and seeing Tim Russ stretching his acting muscles a little more than the usual dry Tuvok demands was great.

Nice colors!

I gotta learn darning at some point …

“You know, I'm really easy to get along with - most of the time - but I don't like bullies, and I don't like threats - and I don't like you”

Edit: A close second is “Survival is insufficient”

Man, I like Bones, he seems like a chill guy, but I have no idea if he’s good at his job, because we never seem him do anything.

When Khan gets broken out of his sleep pod and is in medical distress, Bones just sits there and waits. Not even scanning him or anything. Khan lives because he refuses to die, apparently.

He’s giving good advice, so I’m glad he’s around. But my head canon from now on is that Bones has no idea what he’s doing and is there by mistake.

Upvote because it fits the original better, but I’m protesting the Yar slander.

I was thinking about just downloading all the eps for safekeeping … if I don’t get to it I’ll just hope that there’s a reasonably priced access tier that’s add free (or has only dynamic current/changing host reads, I don’t mind them toooo much).

PS: I found something to support on MaxFun: RePhrasing, an Archer rewatch podcast hosted by Amber Nash (Pam’s VA).

I was honestly surprised by how much of a reaction I had to this news! Now that a couple of days have passed I think I figured out what inked me so much about this change.

I actually am a big fan of MaxFun. The Adventure Zone got me into D&D and I dig the whole worker-owned network where artists own their shows thing. I also liked that the network was a place where shows like TGG could find their audience!

I don’t listen to any other MaxFun shows (who has the time!) so I’ll probably stop sending money to a project I liked, because I have reached my limit of subscriptions and patrons and I want to continue to listen to and support that silly stat trek podcast.

Anyway, I wonder how they’re actually handle the technical side of things. A different podcast I support recently moved back to Patreon after using Supercast for a while. I hope they’ll find some setup that works for them.

It is a little disappointing to me that they’ll be leaving MaxFun. I’ll have to decide if I want to continue to support the network or greatest gen going forward.

I hope the new non-MaxFun ads won’t be too bad …
