Customer Reviews
Great podcast
I really like this podcast. Colby is great, I have been binging this podcast nonstop for several days now, and I love all the creative ideas Colby has. All I want now is an fathomless warlock/open sea pally
Also the cleric spell list is way better than the bard’s
Great content rich podcasts!
This is my favorite Baldur’s Gate 3 builds podcast. Lots of info densely packed. Great ideas for characters for my honor mode party.
Amazing!
This is the best podcast I've ever listened to.
Colby does an outstanding job making "fun but also powerful" characters that are perfectly balanced! I will definitely continue to listen every week.
