All the feels!
The comedy! The drama! I'm obsessed. They tug at the heartstrings and hit the funny bone. I love the glimpses of the people. When I catch up I'm sure I'll start over. I'm intrigued by the British terms and pronunciations. Love!Love!Love! these people.

It’s impossible to not love these characters
I’m on episode 148. Every time Scamp speaks I want to smother them in hugs. I especially love when the group sends to Molly. Just finished Tasbnet’s and Corzin’s duel. My heart is full of joy. Episode 153. Did Celestial just invent mocha? And it was just glossed over. I’m disappointed. Episode 259. I would totally worship at the altar of Scamp God of sweets and monkeys.

Excellent podcast
One of the most unique d&d podcasts out there, with a good blend of lore comedy and action.

High highs, low lows
Fun show, but wildly inconsistent. Some arcs are great, some are absolute slogs. Just know going in you’ll listen to some 4+ hour episodes that go next to nowhere.

Amazing, entertaining, and funny!
I started listening to this podcast a few months ago, and I love it! The players are very entertaining and their voices are great. I would definitely recommend this podcast and am currently listening to it as much as I can get away with.

Well Done
I just started listening, and I’m already hooked. Definitely worth a listen.

A wonderful D&D 5e audio experience
The world building may be my favorite part of this podcast. In this campaign, the DM has fully “sold me” on his wondrous world of spirits, pirates, ancient empires, good-ish necromancers, the Regent, and a whole lot more. I love this world of Calcinea. To add to the amazing world, the characters of the show have great stories as well, along with interesting personalities and backstories. I can’t recommend this podcast enough. Some final notes-If you like the podcast, definitely join the fan server: it’s very fun too. To the cast-Thanks for making this wonderful show, I truly enjoy it and it is probably my favorite podcast. Final Note-On the discord server I am “Metal”, and I realized that I’ve listened to Flintlocks for a while and forgot to leave a review. I was reminded to ,though, by Ellie’s performance of Bloodbeard Brandy. I guess I’ll end off with... “No storms, krakens, or spells we fear...So come and sail with us, my dear” (which I have, and I don’t regret it)

a rollicking good time of a podcast
An amazing podcast with an incredible cast. The world of Calcinea is incredibly well-crafted, the characters are amazing and incredible, and the story is fantastic. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll do a bit of both at the same time. The bonus content is also incredible, and definitely sets this podcast apart from others. There's traditional shanties, but the original songs are amazing- I find myself coming back to them weeks after they've been released, or with bits stuck in my head, because they're dangerously catchy. The podcast also has an incredible community built around it. Everyone is so kind and supportive of each other, and I can't think of a better community to belong to than the Stowaways.

Amazing Crew In an Incredible Environment
The fictional history lessons alone are enough for me to binge as many episodes as possible, but add in well fleshed-out characters, excellent music and songs, an environment that can turn on a dime, and a DM just crazy enough to keep it all together with glitter-glue and a hag deal, and you have the recipe for an amazing D&D Podcast.

Bloody Great Podcast
This satisfies my DnD craving AND my historical fiction craving at the same time. It’s my new favorite!

They had me at Napoleonic
Add in excellent voice acting, compelling characters and a slightly sadistic DM with a flair for the dramatic and you've got a recipe for a rolicking good time on the high seas! I eagerly await each episode, and I am never disappointed.

Grab Your Ale/Run/Milk and Tune In
I really dig this show. I feel like the acting and writing skills of each member really adds to the storytelling moments. The DM doesn’t need to guide as much as most do in the first episode. My only complaint is that I think the music is played live as opposed to added in later. I’m sure it super helps with feeling in character and setting scenes, but the sound quality of a song captured from a speaker on a mic isn’t super solid... but in the end, if that’s what helps pull these strong character choices, then by all means, keep doing everything you’re doing because it is working!

My absolute favoritist podcast. This world is so vivid, the encounters genuinely terrifying/thrilling, and the characters voiced with such talent and commitment...it’s wonderful to behold. I would recommend to anyone new or old to the game and especially to those willing to challenge their perceptions of what this game can be.

The pirate’s life for me.
This show’s cast does a great job of flexing their narrative and acting skills, but still take things lightly and enjoy the fun. Overall, a delight to listen to. The only negative I’d say is the recording quality and background music deserves more. I.e. The quality of content would shine even more! That said, it’s not enough of a distraction to take away from a 5-Star review. Good job, gang!

It will float your boat
The characters are all unique takes and not something you'll find on most podcasts. If you want to be utterly impressed by a hoard of nautical knowledge look no further. In all seriousness the production quality is amazing and you will be hard pressed to find something to not like about this great take on dnd. I love that this podcasts shows how felxible dnd is to tell new and interesting stories.

Come and Sail
Starting with a song is a surefire way to my heart! That said, there's a lot of good for my heart in this podcast. The acting experience of the cast is evident from the start and adds a lot of value to the roleplay of the show. Celestia is my favorite from the start (I've always loved drow characters). The one-man bard is a fantastic concept, and I'm glad the characters have traits that hook me right away. The narration is good too; I can picture the setting and the characters really well! The music tended to be a little busy for me, and I'd like to hear a little less of it throughout, but it does add some tone. It didn't detract from my enjoyment, but it was occasionally distracting. (Especially since episodes are quite long, this made it particularly difficult to listen at 1.5x speed.) There are some audio quality issues (especially noticable when the mics or tables are bumped), but I expect that will improve with future episode releases. I expect that this podcast will only improve, but they're already setting sail with a strong start! I found myself smiling along early on. I'm excited to see what happens next. "No krakens, storms, or spells we fear!" 🎶
