I love this show and these characters so much. This is definitely one of those sit-in-my-car-in-the-driveway-to-finish-the-episode kind of podcasts because it’s just so captivating. Sometimes they are fun and silly (and a little off the rails) and other times they pull me in and tug at my heartstrings or have me on the edge of my seat with suspense. The actual-play element adds so much drama and unpredictability and I highly recommend the Patreon-only talkback show as well! How ‘bout a high five?!

I love actual play podcasts but I have a hard time finding ones that aren’t TOO silly. I also crave interesting worlds and character development! This show is a nice balance of silly and serious. Even though they use d&d (not my favorite system to listen to), the world is thankfully not the forgotten realms! It’s so refreshing to hear a story in a different kind of world, and it gives this show an immediate appeal. Finally, unlike many other actual plays, the audio is GREAT and the players are confident from episode one! There’s no “wait til episode 13” caveats here—this is a show that is interesting, funny, and engaging and sounds great from the first minute.

I love this show! So exciting and fun. The characters are all great and the voices are amazing. Can’t wait for the next episode. Thank you!

Compelling stories for everyone, humor is great, and their biggest strength is the chemistry between everyone :~} How about a high five 🙏

Very fun, great job!

So, I told my enemy about this podcast (as is often recommended by Robin at the end of each episode) and unfortunately, he liked it. Now I’m in the awkward position of having something in common with the person I hate. But the constant, upbeat interplay between the cast and intriguing story help me cope with the existential dilemma.

If you’re not a player of DnD but interested in the experience, this is your podcast! All of the characters make me feel like I’m in the game and they’re taking me along their journey. I’ve laughed out loud in every episode (“fiddle faddle” I was DYING!). Thanks for playing and bringing me along!

You know you did one. I did. Create a western themed DnD character. This podcast takes the fantasy western genre to new highs with sharp story telling, great voice acting, and a quality score. Lot’s of fun for Dungeons and Dragons fans looking for a fun, new variation of this kind of Podcast.

great storytelling all around from a group that seems to click super well. really looking forward to seeing where this wild wild tale goes!

Love the characters, the storyline, and the cast. They should all be so proud of the incredible podcast they’re creating!

The first episode was fantastic and I can’t wait for more!

My ultimate metric on whether or not I like an Actual Play is if it makes me feel like I’m sitting at a table playing with friends, and this show has that in spades! It’s clear they all had a blast recording this and I had a blast listening. The characters are quirky and original, the DM does a great job at Yes, Anding with the players shenanigans. I cannot wait for more!

Mage Hand High Five’s first production “The Badlands” is an entertaining journey. If you are a fan of D&D, westerns, fantasy, or good story telling, this podcast is for you. Take a listen and enjoy!

SO excited! I cannot WAIT to hear the first season!!

So excited for this adventure to begin!
