Halfwits & Failed Crits was the first podcast I listened to that used a non D&D system and opened a whole new world for me. The GM weaves a fantastic tale for his players and listeners. The cast has incredible rapport and they play off each other well. All of the PCs feel lived in, and really well developed. Kamala, the assassin with a distrust of robots, is a highlight. They've also built a fun community on their discord.
