Dark Dice - START HERE: A Guide to Dark Dice
play

09/25/18 • 3 min

Welcome to Dark Dice! This episode explains how the Dark Dice podcast feed works, where to start with each season, and what the show is about.

Dark Dice is a horror actual-play D&D podcast that uses immersive soundscapes to create an added layer of immersion.

Where to start?

Season 1. Start with Ep. 1: The Silent One, to dive right into the Domain of the Nameless God. Or, if you enjoy backstory, start with “Meet the Innskeep” to discover the secret motivations behind the single father leading the team.

Season 2. There are two teams - A & B. Jeff Goldblum is on team B. Unless you've listened to season 1, start your journey on The Long Road with Ep. 1: Unavenged.

Season 3. Start with Ep 1: Embark to follow the droning call to the Shores of the Silver Thrum... Or the Prologue: Meet the Crew to uncover additional secrets about the Willow’s Wake.

Dark Dice - Dark Dice: A Devil's Gamble
play

04/14/23 • 1 min

Greeting everyone,

You know me as the voice of our Dark Dice world, the game master, Travis Vengroff.

And you may remember me as the voice of Sister Cavernsfall, or the writer behind some of our frightening moments, K. A. Statz. Today, we’re taking our own roll of the Dark Dice.

We want, or perhaps need, to know what you, our listeners, want from us as a creative team.

We have started to expand further into the Tabletop Roleplaying space over the last year; expanding our ttrpg publications, running games at live events like D&D in a Castle, speaking at Comic Conventions, and more.

And now we want to know how much further we can take this. We have amazing, horrific ideas for future adventures, and have TTRPG dreams that we can only explain as... excessive.

As a tiny company operating mostly out of our apartment, we can only make ideas come to life through support from listeners.

So, here’s our idea; If we can get 2,500 Patrons on our Patreon by the 12th of May, we will make Dark Dice our focus, not just a hobby, and we will dedicate our days and nights to create a brand new terrifying story each year, with seasonal releases every two weeks (or more if we’re able) - starting with this summer, and make make these seasonal releases part of our yearly production schedule.

As Fool & Scholar Productions we have released a lot of stories and podcasts to the world, and we are reaching out to you so we can learn which of our endeavors interests our audience the most.

There will also be a poll for patrons on our Patreon very soon, so we can further hear from you about where your interests in our stories lie [read as "NEW BONUS CONTENT"].

Thank you for everything, and remember... Never play games of fate. [Eezo bark.]
