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 …

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

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 …

I like seeing the personal growth of these characters kicking in early. And that we don’t only focus on Caleb. When’s my Jay-den episode coming?

And while I didn’t think I‘d like the post-burn setting, it gives our characters a reason to reiterate what Star Fleet and the Federation stand for. In the classic shows, there wasn’t really a reason so argue what the federation is supposed to be (because it was objectively extremely successful the way it was). I enjoy seeing our characters rebuilding this utopia.
