START HERE: A Guide to Dark Dice

Dark Dice

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.
