Long Rest Comedy Radio Play

One of our interns, Michael, pitched an idea about a D&D comedy that
did not follow the characters during the adventures but the downtime between when they were at a tavern. His original thought was for it to be animated shorts. We were currently creating a Dungeons and Dragons video game, and adding an animated series at that time was a little too much to take on. 
I have for years relished radio plays and recently delved into the The Angel Of Vine: A Fictional Podcast. It is impressive storytelling from the first click of the tape recorder to the end scene outro music. The post audio production of aging the sound and Foley effects formed a full theater of the mind.

I thought that Michael's idea would lend itself to the radio play style. 
Characters were constructed and storylines penned and arced.
The full ten episodes were recorded in two days, with the actors sitting together at a table having the conversation, as opposed to recording their lines alone in a booth, giving it the semblance of playing D&D. The post-production effects complete the flavor of the old school radio play. 


We hope you come along on this adventure as it unfolds.
Come for the ale, stay for the tale.
