  • Mr_Highroller
    Amazing
    I have listened to every single episode in under a year and I have to say this is my favorite podcast for all occasions. Keep up the amazing work.
  • Banaanaanaan
    I love it
    It is great
  • 🐆🐎🐕🐩🐈🐅🐅🐅
    So umm…
    So I can’t exactly listen. I was so excited because it was clean!!!! And then I when to play an episode. All are explicit ☹️. So I can’t exactly tell you how the show is its self, but based off the episodes I think that the show should be rated explicit.
  • Broke and desperate
    Adding to previous review
    I just started not long ago, and I’ve binged up through about episode 28-29 of season one so far. These guys are real players. They paint a legit story, they’re true to their characters, and there is enough humor to keep it light and strike a good balance. The story is as well developed as a novel, so hat tip to the DM, too. I love the chemistry and can’t wait to keep going. It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to play, but I’d love to play with these guys. Thanks for this podcast, fellas. Addendum: I’m now about halfway through campaign 3. It has undergone some dramatic changes from one campaign to the next, but I have to say this - I wish I was friends with these guys. They aren’t just entertainers. They just seem to be overall cool guys who do some good work through their rolls for humanity. Don’t get me wrong. Shainsaw is a lunatic, but it’s in the best possible way. I literally jumped up from my bed early one morning and said, “I AM KRISTOFF SHINDO!” If I could afford to, I’d be throwing money their way, so I hope others are able to support their efforts. Also, I’ve been struggling with health issues, and this podcast keeps my spirits up and gets me through ugly hours and days, so I just wanted to say thank you for that.
  • SogenCookie
    Very Binge-Worthy!
    Hey LawfulStupid army. I joined your ranks earlier this week and love it! I had to stay home from work today, and I am happy to say that this increase my LS time by a lot. These guys are super funny, knowledgable about the game, and easy to visualize. I especially love the way the DM just rolls with everything so smoothly. Often I’m expecting him to need to pause and come up with an idea on how to react, but so far, nope! He continues to Deal out Homebrew creativity and care for his players. Mmm I say “care” for the players, but not their characters necessarily. Some of these scraps are just…. So desperate and ugly… and Im excited to see how they get through, and what comes next.
  • Smol hoomen
    Simply not enough! Need more!
    With 91 episodes left and 103 hr 20 minutes left(yes, I counted) of listening time left, my only complaint is there is simply not enough. I’m so excited to get caught up and join the patreon. I never know quite what to expect. With every new episode comes lots of laughs, tears(sometimes from laughing uncontrollably), twists and never ending fun from a group of people who though they may not always do what is in the best interest in their characters, always bring entertainment to my long drives, or long night shifts as well as inspirations for my own campaign. I don’t remember how exactly I stumbled on this podcast, but I’m so glad I did. I only wish I had found it sooner. I can’t wait to see where the next adventure takes the characters!
  • Emilyspemily
    Best Podcast Out There!
    I first discovered this podcast as I was suffering from kidney stone pain. I binged the whole first campaign, and it got me through the pain! I have mad respect for the team, especially Devan. I can tell he has great integrity and personal character. After listening to Campaign 2, I have even more respect for everyone, especially the female additions, who are both amazing role players. Again, this podcast got me through the pain of my second kidney stone. Really entertaining! There is no video game, movie, or show as captivating or enchanting as the content found in the hundred or so episodes! Their patron only content is just as amazing and fleshes out the already very well crafted fantastical worlds! To sum up, do yourself a favor, listen to this podcast, become a patron, join the discord, and open yourself up to a better world of listening entertainment and D&D nerdom. You won’t regret the investment of time!
  • 3*game
    Im sure
    Im sure things get better as it goes but please mind ambient interruptions such as CO2 alarms cherping through the entire ep. I love the story pulp, you’re (DM) painting a great visual for the story and your players are playful. Cheers!
  • my gggnjh
    Really good
    Awesome. I love listening to it whenever I have free time. And, it’s hilarious. Too good. I like that sword that atlas has. 🐉🐉🐉
  • Kidymucus
    Can’t stop listening
    I listen to a different couple podcasts when I’m working but this is the only one I’ve listened to outside of work ,coming home and just relaxing. When I’m listening it feels like I’m chatting with some friends.
  • Otter nonsense 22121
    Frickin fantastic
    Between tying me over between my own Dnd sessions and giving me ideas for my own character and campaign. I would highly recommend this podcast to anyone wanting to getting into a Dnd podcast. I’m quickly catching up and dreading the realization that eventually I’ll have to wait for episodes to come out. #bingelife
  • Aria Of Red
    I am obsessed
    Everything about this podcast is engaging, heart warming, heart wrenching, bring tears of joy and laughter, makes you wanna scream shouts of victory and defeat. Everyone involved in creating this podcast gives so much to their community of listeners and it’s so wonderful! I have yet to be annoyed with anything that they have done. And if you choose to get more involved with the community it just gets that much better. They love interacting with their listeners to make the experience that much more personal. Five star, definitely recommend listening <3
  • hoopdedooper
    So good!
    Literally the best! Found you all in the middle of C2, binged all of C1, then C2, then C1!! Can’t get enough!
  • Gabbygoo12
    The Horny Ox Did It For Me
    Honestly was on the fence about the 5 stars until the C2 episode with the horny ox reference. Well done, very funny. 👍👍

  • dndN00b
    10 outta 10 or 5 out of 5 whichever works
    I've been listening since campaign two. You guys at Lawful Stupid have inspired me to actually start my own TTRPG podcast with my friends!! Thank you guys so much! Miss B, Lucian, and William are amazing! Though if you want my opinion, Lucian is best boy, there I said it!!
  • youalreadyknowcory
    Love this
    I just started listening and I’ve been binging it. I’ve been looking for another dnd podcast to listen to after finishing a few others and I’m real glad I found this one. Keep up the great work!
  • Monday is the Worst
    I’m really enjoying it so far
    I have to say that so far this podcast is on parr with all the other dnd podcasts that I have listened to as far as story goes. The sound quality can get rough, but then again I’m only on episode 25 of the first season, so I’m sure it’s gotten better since then. I’m looking forward to enjoying the rest of this.
  • ChiruDrakon
    Product was in above excellent condition
    I have listened to every single episode and I was captivated with each one. I’ve listened to a lot of dnd podcasts and this is by far one of my favorites. The players have such a fun relationship and its always a joy to listen to you guys. Its absolutely worth a listen and I recommend it 100%. Love you guys!!
  • Alennean
    wish i could give it more stars
    i spent a long time trying to find the perfect dnd podcast and i'm pretty sure this is it. great characters, great banter, great storylines, and great sound design
  • Hotketchup
    Warning! This podcast can cause problems!
    If you are drinking coffee and the players / DM start to banter, you *will* know what it is like to pass an entire cup of coffee through your nasal cavity, all over the your desk, and down your shirt! Or so I have heard, never happened to me. Nope not a bit. I have to go change my bandages now. Seriously, very well done podcast. Highly entertaining and is worth every moment of your time.
  • Vynelin
    Amazing
    Fun characters and players all around with amazing and funny banter. If you can imagine the events that happen in a podcast named Lawful Stupid it will happen and will make you laugh. Their banter at the end really derails some moments and it is amazing. All in all really nice people and amazing stories.
  • Aaron 'Prlmus' Preuss
    Awesome Pod that definitely won't leave you behind
    Hello folks, my name is Aaron and I have been listening to Lawful Stupid for all of campaign 2, eventually I will get to C1 I promise! Anyway, the cast is amazing, they keep things fun and light hearted while still delivering interesting and deep characters. Sean does a wonderful job as a DM even if he struggles for names of random NPC's. You cannot go wrong with this podcast if you enjoy laughs, occasional ridiculous moments, and of course, DRAGONS. And gold, don't forget the gold!
  • Thehunter899
    Very good, Much funny
    I am only a few episodes in while writing this (ep15). However it is funny/interesting enough to have me listen to all of the early episodes and completely ignore all the early stage sound quality. 6 out of 5 stars and glad to see episodes still coming out to this day.
  • Yankee-Texan
    Creative and Funny
    One of the best group of people to play the game. They keep it natural don’t try to hard to be overtop. They just have a lot of fun and are a tremendous joy to listen to.
  • fergi-K52
    A grand ole time
    This podcast walks the tightrope between serious story telling and fun silly humor expertly. With friendly banter that happens organically between a good group of buds who all seem to have a knack for telling a tale and creating characters who are engaging and you can’t help but root for. Lawful stupid is a podcast that I get excited for the release of every episode and makes the Monday’s just a bit more bearable.
  • Mark to Majestic
    Very good, worth a listen
    First, my reviews are as honest as I can make them. Not saying others are not; but it seems like people usually just give 1’s and 5’s but I try to give constructive reviews. Most things are not cap (1*) or perfect (5*). I’m still listening to the first season. Some of the earlier episodes suffered from audio issues but they are fixed by episode 21. PROS - Good story (when the players aren’t actively doing everything in their power to derail it). - Entertaining group - DM of the first season has some great home brew ideas and allows the players to be very creative (sometimes too much) CONS - If you prefer strong mechanics then you may want to listen to later episodes when I assume they’ve hammered out all their disagreements on how certain spells/situations should play out. - There’s one player who I would not be surprised if he was “exaggerating” his rolls sometimes. It just seems awful convenient how whenever he really wants to succeed at something he just so happens to get the right roll. He also gets more “natural 20’s” than anyone else on the podcast by far. - That same player can sometimes portray himself as the “I know best” type, often steamrolling over others ideas (including the DM’s) and forcing things in a direction he prefers. Normally player agency is exciting and makes things interesting but it can often sacrifice story development and narrative just so his character can “win”. There’s definitely potential for this to be rated higher. Perhaps after completing the remaining episodes I’ll update my review. I heard the player mentioned in the CON section actually becomes the DM so maybe that’s a better fit for his need to be in control. Here’s hoping because this group seems great.
  • avn0003
    I REALLY enjoy this podcast!
    I have just started to get into D&D during quarantine, and this podcast has been super great to listen to on my way to and from work. Thank you guys for the work you do! Also if anyone reads this, JOIN THE DISCORD! I have no idea what’s going on there, but it’s a ton of fun to read through! Maybe one day, I’ll start actually participating. 5/5 stars!
  • Popcornacopia
    Recent listener here
    I started listening to this podcast roughly 3 weeks ago. I started with campaign 2, and now I’m all caught up. This podcast is fantastic and is the only thing I’ve listened to these last few weeks. To further that I was so sad when I caught up that I decided to start at the very beginning. I just finished up season 1 and am just as enthralled. This podcast has certainly brightened my days and given me inspiration for my own campaigns. Keep up the fantastic work :).
  • SincereMoose
    This has really grown on me.
    I have listened to TAZ and loved it. Love Sneak Attack. And I’m sorry for advertising other podcasts but there is a large graveyard of other dnd podcasts that I’ve started and quit. I really wasn’t sure when I started with this one but something kept bringing me back. Now I rank it with the other two I mentioned above. I’ve been binge listening to it over the last month while I work in my yard or drive around for work. I’m almost caught up. A podcast is awesome to me when it makes me feel like I’m hanging out with friends(you guys are awesome) and also when my imagination is stimulated. Sometimes I have to stop the podcast and write down my thoughts. Thanks for being a lovely group of people. Also, holy smokes Shane, I just listened to a very dark episode. Poor canines.
  • powerchordmonkey
    Yeah man it’s good
    Yup. Good stuff.
  • silinios
    Well worth the listen!
    Been listening to this podcast every night at work for the past month and I’m still not caught up! Great content, intense moment, and a great discord community! Keep up the great work boys, it makes mine so much better
  • shems008
    Laughs abound!
    Great world building and great story telling. Fantastic crew and plenty of laughs.
  • InvertedZebra
    It just gets better and better
    After bouncing around a half dozen or more dnd podcasts I can firmly say this group is top tier, unsurpassed in quality RP and storytelling. I cannot give this podcast enough praise.
  • Heather_was_here
    New Player- Such a Source of Infotainment & Inspiration
    I just started playing D&D a few weeks ago. I didn’t realize there were live play podcasts and I’m so pleased that I looked for podcast content and discovered Lawful Stupid. The guys crack me up so much. I’ve learned a lot about role playing as well as the mechanics of the game in listening and I’ve pretty much been bingeing this show. Keep the adventures coming boys!!
  • The Diet Rich
    Terrific Dramatic Storytelling
    I started listening but I will definitely be listening to more. Very impressed with your musics and atmospheric sounds.
  • Jmob466
    Top notch
    Really enjoy this podcast. Real light hearted fun, and keeps the plot going while keeping the rules tight and the humor loose. 10/10 would recommend 👌🏻
  • JosephTimmis
    The very best the internet has to offer!
    You just can't beat this group. Weather you are looking for fun, adventure, emotion, comedy, roleplay, combat. Its all just pure gold!
  • Finnegan=Bae
    Trust me.
    Campaign 1, Season 2, Episode 21. You’ll thank me later.
  • Keys Wyne
    Laughs and cries
    These guys make you laugh and cry! Great descriptions and a mix of D&D/thematic storytelling. Best episodes are when they don't take themselves too seriously. Clearly all these folks are good friends and their friendship makes listening to the show amazing.
  • the real dragon bait
    Love!
    I have been a long time listener of Lawful Stupid and they are the best people I have known! I am excited to see what happens in *dramatic music* Campaign 2. Keep up the amazing stories and I can not wait to see what happens from here.

    Best group ever
    Not only is the story telling immersive, it’s hilarious! These guys will have you eager to know what’s next and you can almost never tell which way they’ll go. such a well balanced group of characters with a top notch DM you couldn’t ask for a better podcast.
  • Raltarion
    Great show!
    I’m a big fan of this podcast. The boys are great and I can’t wait to get caught up.
  • One-shot Onslaught
    Great podcast, even better guys
    This show has it all, great characters, great story, great dming, great comedy and a great group of players. I may be biased but I think ep 42 just may be the best :) Check this group out if you haven’t yet! Adam aka Griffo

    Finally! Found a taste of home!!!
    Been a a long time gamer and a recent fan of the podcast. Lots of fun and exciting stuff that is entertaining to listen to. Reminds me of my own gaming groups from the past. Listening let’s me feel like a part of a gaming family especially when I’m traveling. I wish them the best of luck and hope they continue producing episodes as it triggers some juicy nostalgia! Love you guys! @alexandertyler on Twitter
  • wendigo 4180
    Fun for all levels of experience
    Recently started listening to this group do to kind of knowing one of them from a discord group. I don’t tend to listen to a lot of podcasts, like ever, but this one has been very fun to listen to! Whether you’ve been playing the game for years, or your new to it, you can definitely enjoy these guys! Dc: Wendigo 4180
  • @TetraGarcia on Twitter
    Amazingly fun!
    While it took me awhile to get into it, Lawful Stupid is hilariously good time of a podcast! Season 2 is a vast improvement and it just keeps getting better! If you're looking for a good laugh with Dunegons and Dragons involves, look no farther!
  • Blade5000
    Excellent podcast
    I listen to these guys every day at work when I’m doing repetitive paperwork. They are hilarious and oddly similar to my own PCs who never seem to remember what they are doing and usually go way off down the rabbit hole. It really helps me as a fairly new DM to listen to the style of an experienced DM and how he describes combat and their surroundings, as well as when things don’t go by the book. Never forget to bring your shovel and prepare your catapult spell. Keep up the good work LS boys. Twitter @blade092308
