IN THE PRESS: The Party
"Natural and funny thanks to this extremely charming cast [...] The Party, a seven-episode, D&D narrative web series, is a true gem worth seeking out. Extremely well-written, well-acted, well-shot, and just plain well-done."
"The Party is a funny sitcom, but it’s also one of the more thoughtful D&D adaptations I’ve come across."
