@tom i'll admit it starts pretty slow, but the things at the beginning are important enough to start there
if you're wondering when things stop being so slow, "murder on the rockport limited" is about when things really get going! (and it gets better and better pretty consistently from that point--and becomes legit the best thing i've ever listened to!)
@tom well, each is a separate story
the first is like a classic DnD campaign, but it grows into a pretty elaborate story spanning multiple planes of existence, and ends up having some really fantastic production
it's a nice length too--69 episodes
after that, they do a few mini-arcs to try out different games--and finally settle on a more story based monster of the week game where they hunt down supernatural creatures while trying to keep their existence under wraps
