My adrenaline went CRAZY listening to this episode!! So terrifying and incredible!! 💖

Shout out to the editing and sound design on this one! Amazing job

this was the most stressed I’ve ever been while cooking oatmeal

Adelaide Ritzman · September 30, 2026

Dear Lou, your narration is INCREDIBLE - please write a book someday!!

naemless · September 30, 2026

This the most stressed I have been listening to an episode! Lou’s ability to narrate tension is so impressive! (This is also the most flustered I have been listening to an episode because of Cullen’s competency. The contrast between blacking out and doing flip to “Pure Prince Shit” is the duality of man)

Cackle Cackle · September 30, 2026

“This is all happening because we threw the suitcases in the bay!” This is how my mind works as well. Lou, you’re doing such a crazy good job with this!! It’s been incredibly immersive and riveting to listen to. Love the world building. Super excited. I’m working really hard to not give you guys medical triage instructions. IT’S A STORY

Dominoes · September 30, 2026

I think this episode was the most stressed I've ever been listening to anything ever, even more than the episode of www where they're trying to escape the giant flesh monsters

R
Ryan McHugh · September 30, 2026

Hey, here’s a fun idea, just give us the rest of the episodes now so we can listen to them. Having to wait two weeks for the next episode is the real monster.

C
Colibri · September 30, 2026

My soul needs approximately 1,000 more episodes of this, my body however probably could not take it. I was so tense the whole time!!!

E
Erin · September 30, 2026

Holy SHIT. I was so tense during this episode. The pacing is so good! Lou!! You sick son of hamster, that was so good, I was so scared.

R
Robert Thomson · September 30, 2026

Lou Wilson, that man that you are! Absolutely brilliant, loved the descriptions of disaster and the mechanics and the everything. Also, justice for Three. I hope they honour the Bit with her.

Jenn with two Ns · September 30, 2026

Goddamn Lou. You found your sweet spot. We are all hyperventilating

C
Carl Nelson · September 30, 2026

Lou's prose is amazing. All the narration in these episodes is so perfect at painting a picture

R
Rowan Dalzell · September 30, 2026

I have watched footage of actual real life disasters that never made me nearly as physically scared as these descriptions by Lou.

Thalia Arias · September 29, 2026

I need atleast 2 hours brother! Pleaseeeeee

Jules · September 29, 2026

DAMN.

Jules · September 29, 2026

tfw when you've just listened to one of the best TTRPG episodes you've ever heard but u can't articulate what's so good about it bc you can feel blood pounding in your head

F
Fractis · September 29, 2026

This was amazing! So intense! But why was it only 45 minutes?!? We wait two weeks for this drop in a bucket?!? This is some of the best ttrpg anywhere, but I would take a slightly lower production value over this miserly level of brevity. Am I alone here? I can't be the only one who thinks waiting two weeks for 45 minutes of content is a bit much, right?

C
C · September 30, 2026

Idk I think it's cool that these immensely talented creators provide incredible stories for free and without ads; I don't feel like I am owed a certain amount of anything by them on a certain timeline.

L J · September 29, 2026

The music right before the outro is *chef's kiss*

A
Aaron J. Shay · September 29, 2026

This is some of the most creative use of gaming combat mechanics. I'm on the edge of my seat the whole time.

Nick Hortie · September 29, 2026

i love this so much can we get 6 more season and a movie please?

C
CJ Bonifati · September 29, 2026

Lou is just spitting fire this campaign

AbbeyRandom · September 29, 2026

1 That roar at the end gave me full body goosebumps, my hairs all stood on end, and I felt my neck hackles “go up” so well done. 2 thank you for the music design. This was very hard to listen to and I had to pause to cry quite a few times. Don’t know if I would’ve been able to listen without the score. My heart goes to those experiencing these kinds of terrors today

E
Elizabeth Boskey · September 29, 2026

That was one of the most stressful and upsetting things I have ever listened to. Lou, you are sadistic and brilliant.

Phoenix Vizva’i · September 29, 2026

GODDAMN

Bob Chapman · September 29, 2026

"Pure prince shit"

SeminoleDVM · September 29, 2026

The jazz under the fire escape stuff is such a great choice. Cowboy bebop vibes.

E
Emil Rivera · September 29, 2026

With a story this freaking good why are the episodes shrinking. At this rate the next one will be like 25 minutes long and then we’ll enter the excruciating pace of One Piece. Give us more, damn it!!!! Respectfully, of course!

F
Fractis · September 29, 2026

I am SO glad I wasn't the only one thinking this!🥰

Dream Wizard Kyle Arca · September 29, 2026

THREE IS THE PC OF A PERSON I LARP WITH! 🤣 I IMMEDIATELY shared that moment with the group. 🤣❤️

confusedtealseal · September 29, 2026

This is the first campaign where I've been a little bummed out when the action happened because I was so happy just listening to these people all hang out, I love this campaign so much

E
Ewizabeth Herd · September 29, 2026

THAT WAS SO EXCITING!!!

A
Andrew Guthy · September 29, 2026

Hey Abigail. Hey girl. You fucked up. Based on the first 15 minutea of this episode you fumbled so bad.

c
cosmicSquid · September 29, 2026

I just finished this episode and immediately have to go back and listen again

J
Jane · September 29, 2026

Holy shit, y’all. Hats off to Lou, for real.

The Witch of Whys and Y’s · September 29, 2026

This is Episode Three for our girl, Three. I want a little bonus episode like, five or ten minutes from Three’s POV to recap all the amazing shit she is doing in this catastrophe. Three is the hero we need. ♥️♥️♥️

The Wizard Solace · September 29, 2026

Just arrived at my regular 1st world day job with adrenaline PUMPING.

Donnie K · September 29, 2026

Spoiler: . . . . . . . . . The whole episode was just them escaping down a fire escape and it was the most tense hour of audio I've heard in a LONG while. Kudos, Sir Lou Wilson.

kaguya_yoru · September 29, 2026

I think there is something wrong with the RSS feed again because I don't see this week's episode on YouTube Music 😢

Bree M · September 29, 2026

This is the scariest kaiju movie I’ve ever listened to

Imagine if they all just die in the building….

wick · September 29, 2026

Lou, you are a psychopath.

L
Lena · September 29, 2026

I loved the whole skill challenge of the collapsing building, and the very visceral descriptions of crumbling brick and twisting steel - the sense of urgency even as it technically happens in dnd combat super slow mo

J
Jill K. · September 29, 2026

THAT WAS IT?! Damn you, Lou Wilson!

tiff · September 29, 2026

GAHHHHHHHHHHH I HAVE CHILLS!!! I NEED MORE!!!!!!

So excited for moooooore 😭

“Three is the most misogynist nickname I’ve ever heard. Three is literally inside directing traffic and has saved countless lives. Three is a first responder. Three was with the Freedom Flotilla. Three is going to get a medal at the end of this campaign. Three is my current bestie.” 🫡🫡🫡 I can’t wait to find out Three is either nonbinary and Three is their chosen name OR her name is Tri, like a nickname for Trinity or Trina

Jess A · September 29, 2026

This was so intense. What do you MEAN that's all I'm allowed to find out this week?? I'm so invested!

A
Alyssa · September 29, 2026

Yax & Harls sounds like some sort of hipster restaurant in Williamsburg in 2010. With a lot of mustache themed decorations , Edison lights, and lots of bacon on the menu. 🥓

Sven the Scribe · September 29, 2026

Get Girl Three her medal and her own spin-off one-shot!

The cliffhangers are ending me man 😭 Things are heating up.
