    this is my favorite podcast of all time
    now don’t get me wrong, i LOVE the original gcp, but this is superior to any other naish show, but it still doesn’t get enough recognition. also blades in the dark has such a good and entertaining system and i would love to see more of this. 👍 keep it up 👍

    My 2 favorite things
    Blades in the dark was good, but with Glass Canon? (I'm gonna get disagreement with this statement) But I would say this beats Critical Roll, personally (no offense to Matt Mercer or the rest of Critical). I already knew this was gonna be awesome from the very first episode.

    Another banger of a show from the GCP. This trio of players coupled with the best man baby of a game master really tickles my jawns!
  • Weasley6273818
    Incredible, best RPG written in the last 20 years played by the best RPG players of all time
    The title says it all
  • CallMeBlooddrinker
    A THOUSAND YEARS AGO
    One of the absolute best actual play shows out there!! Blades is one of the best games out there too! Can’t wait for more!
  • Great game!!!!! Play it
    Incredible
    Fantastic podcast! Love the GCP and this is the best entity that does not include a majority of the OG cast. Great exploration of the Blades in the Dark System
  • Winkingchef
    The only thing that shines….
    Exceptional show. Jared’s improvisational talents (and weaknesses surrounding learning and adjudicating rules heavy systems) are ideally compatible with this game system. Great cast (each in their own way) and deeply nuanced and interesting characters. A treasure of the GCN.
  • Wordbuffer
    Amazing talent
    Jared, Ross, Josephine, and Abu are the best in the business. Every episode knocks me off my feet.
  • catlaw771
    Great, funny actual play
    I haven’t found any other Blades actual play that have a bit of humor in every episode, and this was a very refreshing listen. The Remnant’s scores are always madcap and wildly entertaining.
  • Jake TTRPG
    Great show Crappy Coincidence
    I was pretty new to this show while it was still on the old feed. I love the show and didn’t know about this migration of rss feeds so I had them all downloaded. I looked today and they were completely gone didn’t know that could happen. So I feel like the guy that washed his car right before the storm. I have no idea what episode I was on. Anyway Jared is great as well of the cast. Just like the main feed the editing is so good. It keeps getting better!
  • CaptainDigitalis
    So good!
    Blades in the dark is an amazingly different RPG from so many others. This cast does a great job of creating stories together!
  • sea otter raincloud x

  • WonderKight
    Great
    Blades of the Dark is a game which I wanted to play and this cast of people just made me want to play it even more.
  • AlejandroKhan
    Awesome so far
    I’ve wanted to play Blades in the Dark, and due to WotC being bums I decided to really look into getting started. Doing so I stumbled on this podcast, and I’m not disappointed at all. I’ve listened to every episode save the latest, and it’s the best live play going, and the coolest ttrpg I’ve come across
  • Meta Godzilla
    Great game, great cast
    Blades in the Dark is a great RPG, and this crew of scoundrels brings it to life in a way that is totally compelling
  • Evilmrspock
    A solid cast and compelling entertainment
    This is a very interesting, dark and gritty setting. The cast are diverse and entertaining. Give it a listen!
  • kreminal27
    Favorite TTRPG play podcast right now
    I love this podcast - the character sand the game are compelling. They really take the game to the next level - true masters of the craft. Improv and character development is amazing.
  • marcharig
    Amazing chemistry
    Incredible group and great storyteller. Best game intro.
  • Bow_vin_a_box
    Fantastic
    Between the overly wordy intros, the creepy vibes of the players, and the excellent voice acting, this is how to play BitD.
  • The Great Glass Alavator
    Chaotic fun and great performances
    This show is a wild ride. The cast is top notch and they all fully commit to the chaos inherent to a game of BitD. Very fun listen!
  • AtlanteanNomad7
    Welcome to Duskvol
    Not only is this a masterclass in running Blades in the Dark, but the world-building, characterization, and chemistry of the cast is off the ghostly chains.
  • NameBen25
    Never knew how much fun this could be
    Love having this crew and Jared’s wordy intros
  • Papadage
    The only think that shines is this Blades in the Dark Podcast
    The Haunted City podcast by the Glass Cannon Network is like a ghostly party in your ears! This horror comedy podcast will have you laughing so hard, you'll forget to be scared. The characters are lovable and full oh hijinks, and the story is a wild, gothic ride. The GM's storytelling is top-notch and the acting is the best. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone looking for high drama, a good laugh, or both. It's like if the Addams Family and Parks and Rec had a baby, and that baby was a podcast. So turn off the lights, grab a snack, and enjoy the Haunted City.
  • Synmarkovnikov
    Outstanding
    If you're looking for a podcast to help you learn Blades in the Dark, you've found it. Both the GM and cast are talented improvisors who use the Blades in the Dark system to make a thing of terrible beauty. So many great characters and a wonderful story. Can't wait till season two.
  • Dre from Austin
    Best BitD actual play content
    If you’re learning to play the Blades in the Dark game, or are thinking about running one, or are just looking for a fantastic Victorian occult fantasy story to listen to, this is the gold standard.
  • Philm36
    Great intro to Blades in the Dark
    This podcast was by far the best way for me to get a feel for how this game is played, and now I can’t wait to try it myself! Great GM, amazing cast, love the way it’s playing out so far!
  • Geoffrey C 99
    Haunted City is Awesome!
    Best blades in the dark podcast I’ve listened to so far. The Glass Cannon Network has been excellent at casting the right people for the right shows. Can’t wait for season 2!
  • Andrewp34
    Amazing!
    Jared is a great GM. The cast is one of the best. Great storytelling and such a good listen.
  • Caedus2692
    Best Show If you're In To Weird Steam Punk Occult Crime
    While I don't agree that Blades in the Dark is the best RPG system released in the past 20 years, I do think it's a fantastic game system. In addition, this show is one of the best the network has to offer! I especially recommend it if the idea of a desperate band of criminals trying to scrape by in a haunted steam punk city appeals to you.
  • JLawson1018
    Amazing GM and cast
    Jared I’d an amazing GM and this cast really uses this great rpg system to its fullest. Highly recommend!!!
  • buzzsawMF
    More great content
    Haunted City is great. I’m picky about sticking with podcasts but I can’t wait for more episodes to drop.
  • Wachetta
    Here for Jared, stayed for the cast
    This cast and GM rock. Definitely worth a listen.
  • RoBry
    Something Special
    An elegant gaming system, a devilishly imaginative GM, and a cast of complex characters. If you’ve ever been curious about the brilliant game Blades in the Dark, or just wished your crime thrillers were tinged with more occult gothic romance… this is for you.
  • Theotherone89
    Phenomenal
    Abu is an amazing addition to the GCP lineup. Great content!
  • MacEnder

    Fantastic As Always

    Can’t go wrong with The Glass Cannon crew!
    Great GM, great players, fun listen.
  • GregXZ
    A-list improvisers and actors in a world of crime and skullduggery
    If you are encountering this AP without being aware of the Glass Cannon Podcast Network and the backstory behind its creation, you have missed out on some incredible storytelling that I can recommend listening to-look them up. That being said, this podcast series is entirely original and hits all of the best possible notes that “actual play” podcasts are always trying to reach. First, the cast and GM are stellar— each is an accomplished actor, comedian, role player, or all of the above. Second, the game has a cinematic drive and tones that are simply phenomenal. Given their connection to the Glass Cannon Podcast, it should also come as no surprise that audio quality is high throughout. Finally, the game system they use—- Blades in the Dark is by far my favorite. It lends itself to creativity, thinking under pressure, and cinematic moments in a way that few others do. The combination of game system and caste comes together beautifully in this podcast. Highest recommendation.
  • NikTheWolinski
    Prestige Actual Play
    Fantastic cast, fantastic setting and system, Jared is a terrific GM. Just all around one of the best actual plays out there.
  • Rhapsodist
    Sheer Insanity
    An insane crew using an insane system, presented by the insanely good Glass Cannon Network. If you love Blades in the Dark and absurd gaming, doesn’t get better than this.
  • ATLreviews8
    One of the pinnacles of APRPG “Radio”
    The best Blades show out there, and one of the best actual plays around.
