    Serious fun
    This is one of the best tabletop podcasts out there. Space Kings is a great system, props to the masters!
  • P0rthos47
    The funnest actual play podcast on the air.
    So glad Pretend Friends is back. Kevin and the gang never cease to disappoint and bring a smile to even the most jaded of faces. Space Kings is a brilliantly fun system and frankly the world needs more happy sci-fi in it. You’ve all flipped the Queen of Hearts as far as this nerd is concerned.

    The Best
    My personal favorite podcast, but I have terrible taste. So you should probably listen to it for yourself. Season 4 is meh.

    NADDPOD FANS WILL LOVE THIS
    Seriously. If you’re a fan of NADDPOD, Join the Party, Adventure Zone, any of those shows, I hope you’ll give Pretend Friends a try. Before I was a NADDPOD patreon these boys were my religion. Now there’s a season 4 coming out. Space Kings is an amazing RPG system based on your regular casino 52 card deck, some hilarious skills, and a lot of DM improv.

    A delightful group
    Nick, Paul, and Josh are always hilarious : Kevin really adds to the experience with creative and absurd storytelling that makes everything focused on having a good time. Can’t imagine a better group
  • Cleppy
    Oh my golden rings
    Like this show! Have listened to all 3 seasons multiple times and can’t wait for season 4!

    Tabletop RPG Adventures
    Paul, Nick, Josh and Kevin are great. I listen to these at work for a great mental distraction.
  • FFEDCO
    It’s great
    Please, just listen to it. It’s a great time, starts out okay and never stops getting better!
  • PizzDrunk
    Fun for a minute
    The first season is 5 stars through and through. Paul, Nick and Josh have great chemistry and a history of hilarious collaborative works that honestly deserve to be way more successful than they are. Kevin is a Chris Perkins level GM. Great storyteller, but don't try to joke around with him on twitter, or he'll block you. It's gets shaken up after that, bringing in a new inexperienced GM. And it's a mess. They start paying less attention to the game and more attention to sexualizing their characters, as well as admonishing each other for pronouns. On at least one occasion someone screams "We're the white people; we're the bad guys" and it's not a joke; it's a statement. Definitely recommend season 1. They really lose whatever magic they had after that.

  • Danger_dust
    You are the best

  • bdavies1993
    Perfect quarantine listening
    On the one hand I wish I had started this earlier to get all this fantastic content but on the other, it’s absolutely perfect for this quarantine. It totally takes my mind off of what’s happening. It really puts me at ease. An absolute must listen
  • trexel the illuminator
    Amazing show
    This an amazing show. I get a chill whenever I hear the opening theme and I know I am about to have a good hour ahead of me.
  • Tales From The Land Of
    Will all of Josh's characters be small and brassy and drunk?
    I am totally up for several more seasons of small-statured, alcohol-fuelled, dangerous-to-those-around-them characters created by Josh. And I can't express how much I love this show. I've relistened to everything at least twice, and someone needs to go slay this virus so the gang can continue playing (I mean... it would be good to slay the virus for other reasons too... I guess). Keep on wizarding, y'all.
  • Chad's pastor
    Please bring on Dom
    I love this show, and it’s energy. This and Goosebuds are my favorite podcasts. Keep up the good work ❤️
  • lil blindness
    Good podcast but I have a problem
    In the newest episode keven talks about other podcasts that are space kings related however, he did not say the podcasts name. I love this podcast.
  • xThisxIsxMusicx
    A pure treat
    All three seasons of this show are a giggle and a gaff! The game is unique and easy to follow, and the banter is a delight!
  • LemonMIntCat
    My Thursday Night Go-To
    As a long time Continue? fan, I have very much enjoyed this podcast. The crew, Paul, Nick, and Josh, a-long with Kevin (DM) are all really dedicated and having fun as they record and play. The Space Kings system is very easy to follow along, and the story and everyones reactions and chating is great to hear, and I definetly laugh quite a bit. Honestly every Thursday night is laundry night and pretend friends time, keep up the great work!
  • RossIsCool5
    I hope this doesn’t get canceled
    Great from the very first episode. These guys have been making funny stuff for more then a decade, and they remain one of my favorite parts of the week. That being said, the last two Continue podcasts I left reviews for got canceled, so I hope I don’t kill this one too.
  • civ13
    Great podcast
    Funny people creating great stories
  • mork696969
    Great light RP podcast with blue humor
    If you like the Continue Crew, light RP podcasts, or just fantasy podcasts in general then this is worth a shot. Kevin is a great DM and gently guides the guys along their adventure, lots of tangents, off the wall reactions and really fun character building moments. One of my favorite podcasts.
  • Coolradman
    Love this!
    Been following the Continue? guys for a decade and I’ve loved all their content! Adding Kevin and Hadley to to mix has been wonderful, and the stories/characters they’ve been creating are great!
  • Tallowhand
    Mixed Bag
    Season 1 is INCREDIBLE. Funny, loose & a joy to listen to. You’ll wish it never ended! Season 2 is...er... Well, wasn’t Season 1 great? You’ll wish Season 2 would JUST END. Hadley is a very “rails” kinda GM and while Kevin ran WITH the guys in S1, Hadley mostly seems to run DESPITE them. She seems humorless more often than not and like she’d rather just be narrating her own story with the guys reading the scripts she wrote for them. Maybe they should have gotten Elspeth to run instead? Season 3 seems like it won’t happen at this point. At least we’ll always have Season 1!
  • Josh (hero of time) robertson
    Freestyle rap review
    My name is josh and I’m here to say the podcast is awesome in a major way. You got Paul as leader and nick’s there too josh is rad and Hadley is new. Kevin is neat the fun never ends you’ll have the best time watching pretend friends.
  • caaxmack
    Good
    Better than good. Great. Is amazing. Excellent.
  • confusedpeople
    Absolutely inspiring
    I LOVE YOU DUDES. Your guys chemistry is unbelievable and I absolutely adore this table top system you , Kevin and Hadley made up. I GUARANTEE me and my friends would love to learn it. I’m only about half way through the second season and can’t wait till next season to come!!! AND ALSO WHEN IS DOM GOING TO BE ON?!?
  • HeySwineFest
    Pretend Friends is the very first podcast with a budget of a million dollars per episode.
    And it shows! Your lovely hosts are wonderfully wild in all of the most hilarious ways. And from their honeyed voices alone you can tell that they're all extremely GODS -- and that at least three of them probably have very well trimmed beards. Personally I'm amazed that they could afford such A-Listers as Kevin Cole and Hadley St. Clair Here are some true facts: - Pretend Friends is like your mother's warm embrace, only better. - Pretend Friends is an acceptable substitute for foreplay. - Pretend Friends is good
  • doogleboogle
    So so good
    These guys are funny as heckie, and this podcast is immersive. Do you enjoy good world building and humor? Then this podcast is for you. One of the best
  • Brick1322
    A lot of fun
    This show is bananas. Really funny and is great to listen to at work. Hope to hear the rest of season 2.... I’m waiting
  • H8Ø8
    Longtime listener, first time caller
    Paul, Dom, and Chad are quite the characters when it comes to critiquing the books of many of our childhoods. While some installments of Goosebumps are complete stinkers, the hosts make quick work in breaking these books down for consumable content great for a car ride or weekend day off work. Keeping up with the many projects of these creators has always led me to funny moments over the years and has me looking forward to further supporting their endeavors. Much love from a long time fan and here’s to many more years of laughter!

    A Unique Spaceventure!
    If you aren’t sure about this podcast, allow me to try and sell the premise to you. A human, cat, and a literal spaceman wake up on a space bus and get attacked by purple space motorcycles. Hijinks ensue.
  • BudmanIV
    Set yourself up for failure
    Listen to this Podcast and convince your friends to start your own campaign. Realize your group of friends are never going to be as good as the Continue? boys. Fall into a cycle of constantly pretending to be busy on game night because you’re too polite to tell your friends they just aren’t that funny or interesting. Become disillusioned with your friendships in general. Start eating triple breakfast. 5/5 would recommend this show for the yucks.
  • trulyveryspooky
    Best
    Love you all. Thanks for the fun!
  • mrkeebler6
    Hilarious fun with great friends
    This podcast is a wonderful mix of quirky comedy and interesting storytelling. Any fan of the host’s main show Continue? will feel right at home here. Great job boys!
  • Jordykirk
    Real Friends
    Mop you are the KING!
  • BabyRey
    AMAZING!!
    Love this podcast! It’s my new favorite and cured my fantasy fiction withdrawals 😂
  • Wmrev
    Five squashes
    The full cornucopia
  • Glitched Pixel
    One of the best parts of my week
    I adore this show, Iv listened to every episode atleast 2-3 times during my tedious job unloading trucks and stocking shelves. The friends are entertaining and have a great time roleplaying and challenge the DM to improvise on the fly while they harass npc, burn down buildings, and accidentally hold up a store while asking for directions.
  • ..sm
    So fun!
    I love listening to this podcast on my walks around the neighborhood. I'm sure I look like a lunatic walking my 10 month old and cracking the heck up. So fun guys! Love it!
  • LemmusSibiricus
    You Bottled Magic, Boys!
    I watched Continue? for years and had no clue they started a Tabletop RPG podcast. And I'm so glad I found out about it! As long as there are still episodes, I'll keep listening!
  • N8rater
    (Inter)stellar entertainment!
    An absolutely amazing podcast that’s as hilarious as it is engaging. You’ll quickly get sucked in and come to love the characters as you laugh along with a great gang of guys (and a gal!). There’s also a mop!
  • SinnyNeuneuHolo
    Keep on wizarding
    Been listening to these guys ever since Fantasy Fiction and I have never laughed as hard to anything else. The chemistry between the people is wondrous and the DM is really flexible. The guests bring in another brand of flavor and the main cast is always great. Always the first thing I listen to when I am feeling down.
  • Valant777
    Amazing!
    If you like a bunch of people being funny as hell and pretending to be sci/fantasy creatures this is the show for you!
  • Tekn0viking
    Fun Stuff
    Look forward to the show every week. Never played one of these games, but can see the appeal when entertaining people are involved.
  • JDUBZ88
    A ta-ta-ti-ti-top notch podcast
    I’ve never wanted to know what a mop was up to until this podcast. 5 squashes.
  • C.H. Gorog
    An Adventerous Space Adventure in Space
    Pretend Friends is an absolute riot where Nick, Paul, Josh, and Kevin role-play through a great number of (mis)adventures and comedic hi-jinks. Whether it's seducing a stay-at-home wife, befriending a screaming bug who cries out for mother, commendeering prison buses, learning that mop is the king, or accidentally cutting off an associate's arms, Pretend Friends is completely engrossing and an absolute hoot and a half. Maybe if they get another season it will be two hoots. GO LISTEN TO IT NOW! Also, I wouldn't exactly call this "CLEAN LYRICS" so viewer be ware.
  • JadzOfAllTradez
    4 successes and.... a joker
    You know what has 54 cards and is funny? All of the guys in this podcast.
  • DyBond
    The “Kings” of Podcasting
    A great time for fans of Continue?! or just for anyone who enjoys a group of guys improving their way through increasingly humorous scenarios. Podcasts focusing on role playing games are becoming more and more common these days, but this one is still worth your time. These boys know what it takes to produce quality listening content, that is both engaging and hilarious. Just remember who the real king is.
  • EndingPending Ronnie
    Improvisational Genius!
    The stories told on this podcast are absolutely fantastic! It constantly has me in space stitches. The characters that the players have created are fantastic and so well developed by the random twists and turns. I would pay good money for Jasper Cheesehound to be in every bit of media that I consume! I can't wait to play Space Kings with all my friends! Thanks Pretend Friends!
  • JesusWasASocialist
    Perfect Friendship+Lasers= Prentend Friends
