Our Editor's Take

The Damage Guild | A D&D Podcast invites listeners to step into the magical world of role-playing games (RPG). Every week, it brings the thrill of Dungeons & Dragons (D&D). The hosts strive to present their live D&D sessions in the most authentic way. They cut out the unnecessary details that sometimes clutter gaming podcasts. There's no need to refer to gaming rules, search for dice, or tolerate long silences. Instead, listeners enjoy 50-60 minutes of straight gaming narrative.

The charm of the show lies in its hosts. Their friendship defines every episode. Each adds their perspective and humor to the podcast. The core of each episode is their clever discussions, careful gaming, and important choices. D&D fans wait for the next quest or challenge.

The hosts of The Damage Guild | A D&D Podcast are Thayne Bohman, Sean Abrams, Bryan Staudt, and Jay Staudt. Thayne (Dungeon Master - Human Tactician) has been a dungeon master in various forms of D&D for almost 20 years. He is an expert on the rules of the 5th Edition. Thayne works as a developer and game designer. Sean (Tokas Alton - Rock Gnome Fighter) also live-streams games such as Magic: The Gathering on Twitch. Bryan (Azlo Tendertoe-Halfling Bard) is the creator and architect of the podcast. Jay (Shabba Daba'dei - Goliath Ranger) is the podcast's sound engineer and editor.

The podcast hosts have built an original world themselves. They focus on immersive roleplaying in the epic narrative that propels the adventure.

The Damage Guild podcast values audio quality. It records performances in a manner that is different from most gaming podcasts. Instead of using phone-like quality recordings, the hosts record their sessions alone. That makes the audio quality superior.

The Damage Guild | A D&D Podcast comes out every other Monday.
