Dark Dice is a popular Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) podcast. Host and Gamemaster Travis Vengroff guides his adventurers through an original horror setting. The show is equal parts live play and audio drama. Listeners will hear the sounds of stormy weather and horrific monsters. The show follows druids, clerics, fighters, and other D&D classes. Parties journey from fireside taverns to wizard battles and dark forests.
The campaign follows 5th Edition rules, but listeners don't need to know the game. The podcast uses compelling storytelling to appeal to fantasy lovers of all levels. For avid D&D players, the campaign is available as a playable module. The show takes place in the ruinous Domain of the Nameless God setting.
Each season of the podcast is a self-contained story. Listeners can start with any season. Travis recommends beginning with the chosen season's first episode. Those familiar with D&D may enjoy the subtle use of the game to determine the improvised story. Even without knowing the rules, the unpredictable story will keep listeners guessing.
Because much of Dark Dice depends on player rolls, even the cast doesn't know what will happen. While the element of chance creates tension and suspense, it also offers some laughs. The cast members are skillful improvisers, coming up with funny one-liners in real time. An unexpected bad roll can also lead to some hilarious missteps and blunders.
This podcast is an excellent choice for fans of horror, fantasy, and tabletop RPGs. It's approachable whether listeners play the game or not. Fans of the show enjoy the addition of realistic soundscapes to the gameplay. The resulting combination is a captivating horror audio drama. Travis's narration helps listeners imagine every detail of each scene.
From thrilling combat to tense stealth missions, Dark Dice is both scary and action-packed. Listeners can join the adventure with a new episode every two weeks.
