    Holy God This Should Be On TV
    This latest episode was the greatest interlude I have ever been witness to. Bravo to all and I hope you didn’t kill your handler when you got together for drinks. 😜 Very, very well done to everyone. Ps why was episode 20 in reverse?

    One of the best around
    Mayday Roleplay is one of the highest quality and most dramatic actual plays around—especially Doomed to Repeat, their Delta Green series. It’s always exciting when I see a new episode pop into my podcast feed!

    10/10 Would Recommend!
    The cast is amazing and the stories are great! Looking forward to more Ashoka and the Delta Green campaign ‘Doomed To Repeat’ is so, so good! The Mayday team is definitely one of my favorites to listen to!

    Great Delta Green Podcast!
    So pleasantly surprised by the quality of this Delta Green Actual Play. Amazed, actually. It's challenging enough to run Delta Green games that capture the mood, feel, and intent of the game; going further and knitting a bunch of scenarios together into a sandbox-style campaign has left me in awe. The players are all excellent roleplayers, with a fun amount of intra-party tension, as you would expect from Delta Green. And no encounter is as mundane as it seems like it should be, which helps to convey the mood as well. I'm only three episodes in but am sure it will just keep getting better. The GM has clearly done a lot of research and preparation so that things never drag, and the whole crew immerses you in the world they're building. None of this would matter if it were hard to hear or had constant table chatter/inside jokes/cell phones going off, as you find in a lot of other actual plays. But fortunately, the audio quality is great, with excellent sound design/music/effects. If you're into Cthulhu mythos/investigative horror actual plays (and really, why wouldn't you be?), give it a listen, you won't be disappointed.

    Must listen to RP podcast!
    I love this podcast! The story is so compelling and holds my attention for the entire 2 hours. I’m left in suspense at the end of every episode and can’t wait for the next one! The talent of the players is so so good! They bring their characters to life with ease. I can’t wait to see/hear what Mayday Roleplay continues to do and do next! Keep up the amazing storytelling! -@megs317

    Radio Play
    This podcast changed my mind about podcasts. Calling this a podcast is a bit false as well - each episode is like listening to a feature film. The voice cast is filled with excellent performers, the sound design is very intelligent, and music cues help propel everything forward. Great work by the game master.

    Few, If Any, Do Delta Green Better
    There are a number of Delta Green podcasts and actual plays out there. Not all of them get it right. Rest assured, the cast and crew of Mayday Roleplay knock it out of the park. If you consider yourself a fan of Delta Green, new or otherwise, their Doomed to Repeat campaign is well worth your time and attention. One complaint with Delta Green's setting is that very few working groups or cells will have the opportunity to learn all of the rich (and terrifying) lore behind the group's existence. Sergio, the Handler, remedies this in a brilliant fashion. In 1955, a Delta Green employee by the name of Daniel Fries lost his mind and set fire to the group's archives. Decades of history were lost, including invaluable manuscripts and artifacts like the original Book of Dagon. In 2020, with the United States essentially shut down during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, Delta Green assembles a team of agents (under the cover of CDC employees) to rebuild its lost history. It looks like the Handler, who has very clearly done his Delta Green homework, is going for more of a sandbox approach. How he will incorporate Delta Green's history into the episodes to come is a large part of what makes this campaign so exciting. But what effect will learning Delta Green's sordid past have on the agents of Operation Perrenial? That remains to be seen. I, for one, will be listening eagerly for the fallout. Bottom line: with a fantastic concept, top notch roleplaying and game mastering, and incredible sound design and audio quality, Doomed to Repeat checks all the boxes (and then some). If you're looking for a new Delta Green actual play podcast to lose yourself in, look no further.

    Best podcast ever!!!!!
    Compelling story, interesting characters, incredible sound design, and dare I say the best podcast out right now. Hats off to the team, especially the game master.
  • There's My Chippy
    Wow, the production values are out of this world!
    I’ve never listened to podcast that sets the mood as well as y’all. The original music really helps set the scene and everyone did a great job performing their characters. Really engrossing! Binging everything now.
