    An amazing window into the indie RPG scene
    Iko’s The Lost Bay is a delightful and informative window into the bespoke and indie RPG scene. Each episode tells a story through the perspective of one or more creators, publishers, or enthusiasts. The content is enlightening, the editing is absolutely professional-grade, and the host wonderful. I’m not a person who listens to podcasts often, but I look forward to each new episode of The Lost Bay.

    Best RPG podcast hands down
    It's as simple as the title, The Lost Bay is the best RPG podcast I've heard. Iko gets great interviews with interesting people and edits them together in a way that draws you in to an intimate conversation. The Lost Bay Podcast is a delight and I highly encourage you to give it a listen and then pop over to the patreon. I can't wait to see where Iko takes the podcast next!

    I adore this podcast
    This is my favorite ttrpg podcast interviewing indie ttrpg creators. IKO is a great story teller. The editing and music for the podcast are amazing: the interviews are tight and interesting without any of the rambling chit-chat that so many podcasts have. It’s like an injection of insight into the creative process and projects. I’ve found out about a lot of neat stuff through this podcast!

    Fantastic.
    This is what I’ve been looking for! Great interviews with some awesome people doing awesome things. Only problem is the amount of money this will cost me in picking up all this cool stuff. Thank you!

    A must listen for anyone interested in games
    Iko’s ability to collaborate with game designers is truly astounding. He does a phenomenal job of facilitating the conversation so guests can expose their practice as game designers, artists, writers, and players. His focus on building a strong community that pushes itself to creating great art and even greater games makes this a must listen for anyone who is interested in table top roleplaying games (ttrpg). His work directly inspired me to start writing my own games.
  • jpcux
    My new favorite TTRPG podcast
    I absolutely love Iko’s take on speaking to creators and artists who share the thinking behind their games. A lot of depth and insight from both sides of the table. I can’t recommend it enough.
  • The Maze Master
    Compelling RPG Behind the Scenes Conversations
    Iko allows the authors and RPG guests to speak for themselves and represent their story and process in their own way, which comes off as being very authentic. This said, Iko has a direct but easy manner with guests, and asks the pertinent questions that make these conversations so interesting. A fantastic chance to delve deeper into your favorite RPG personages - and discover new ones, too. Definitely worth a listening. Do try a professionally made and thoughtful pod: The Lost Bay Podcast. Five Stars.
