Dicecast Show

Song, Skill, Magic, and Muscle. Does our cast possess these talents? On paper, yes, and in great abundance. In real life? Well, they all at least have pleasing personalities! Welcome to the Dicecast Show! A D&D web series featuring a homebrew adventure set in the world of Faerun.

[dicecastshow]

The party has decided to save themselves first. No world has ever been saved by dead heroes in the first place anyway. They become witness to a battle of survival between goblins and the best that Fellingport had to offer.

Sariel and Zephy are at the forefront of this misadventure as they use their magics to keep the party hidden and unexpectedly safe from big burly dwarven berserkers. When giant flaming wyverns are up in the sky, it’s the universal bat-signal for “run for your lives.”

[dicecastshow]

Today Sarah gives us a special backstage pass to the character that is Sariel Dipvunkhahr. Always after the spotlight and the only viable healer of the team, Sariel’s need for attention clashes with the team’s priority to keep her safe.

Be regaled by the voice behind the songstress. Keep yourself comfy for a bit of a chat.

A goblin horde has to have a goblin king. Or at least, a captain. Kek is revealed to be a first mate of Captain Fester’s sinister crew. And they are about to complete their part in the coming ruin of Fellingport.

The party however also reveals that Kek has switched sides. And he is now first on the chopping block. The fight to save him is long, bloody, and marks the beginning of a fighter’s folly. How far can each of them push themselves before death knocks at their door?

[dicecastshow]

The party finds goblins. A lot of goblins. More goblins than a city sewer should have. What the party will do?

Kek and Fellingport’s destinies are revealed to be unexpectedly intertwined. There’s more to this search and rescue than the party bargained for. And they didn’t really bargain for anything to begin with.

[dicecastshow]

The party lost Kek and are out to find their goblin charge. Their search leads them to a strange encounter and the aqueducts of Fellingport.

The plot thickens and the mystery deepens like the sewers before them. Traps, claustrophobia, and screaming enemies await. The time for Fellingport to live up to its name is nearing. Ready your dice.  

[dicecastshow]

The party continues to learn a hard lesson in discernment as they face-off against the demon they unleashed. Will they be enough to keep their prey in check? Will Kek survive a second time? Find out about what happens when you press play.

On another note - there is a lot of regret among the players for inadvertently causing the death of an upstanding Paladin and father. What kind of world have we come to when we can’t trust the word of the faithful and just?

[dicecastshow]

Fellingport and the troublemakers. What else would adventurers do in an adventure? Snoop around and poke stuff of course! The party finds themselves waiting to get paid for their hard work and questioning their perceptions. Whenever you assume, you make an ass out of u and me. Being in a big city means having to widen your horizons.

Nostandor is the land in which our adventures will unfold. Our DM, together with our new voiceover guy, are here to tell you a bit about its history. D&D is all about the setting, the flow of the story, and how you react to the situations presented. A lot of it happens in the so-called “theatre of the mind.” I wouldn’t mind having this guy’s voice in my head narrating the action.

Nostandor has a long and brutal history penned by generals with the blood of its people. War is as much a part of the land as lightning is to a thunderstorm, and any memory of its origin has since been buried beneath the bodies of the innocent. Reasons for the conflicts have long been forgotten, but the grudges are seared into the cultures that remain. Once the dust had settled, Nostandor was split into four regions: the Wilds, the Northlands, the Southern Kingdoms of Man, and the Metal Mountains.

The Northlands were originally part of the Wilds, before being reclaimed by General Otto Greenhilt who led an army of farmers and commoners to victory against the orcish tribes that settled within. After defeating the notorious Orc Warchief Gargrim Swordtooth half a century ago, he established the Kingdom of Greenhilt which has since served as a bulwark between the civilized south and the northern wilds. Known as the Farmer King, he was famous for being a man of the people, much to the ire of the Southern Nobles. To safeguard the land, he assembled his best soldiers and formed the “Emerald Riders.” These mounted troops were the best in the region, capable of easily quelling any problems set forth by roving warbands.

Peace has settled upon Nostandor, though while the civilized kingdoms enjoy an era of plenty, the Wilds remain silent. What war could not break, placidity slowly erodes, as the might of the Emerald Riders atrophies with every idle year. Decades of quiet have created a generation of nobles who suckle on the teats of complacency, and squabbles begin to erupt from the courtrooms, drowning out the concerns of the commoners… as well as the low booming of the drums of war, rising with a million soldiers on the march.

Today the Dicecast crew begins their series of character shorts! Arvin and Jagrick are the first to bat. The normally excitable member of the crew is a bit on the quiet side in this one as he attempts to explain who Jagrick really is. Stay a while and listen~

[dicecastshow]

Episode 4 is here at long last, apologies for the slight delay. The party accepts Horatio’s job offer to serve as hired muscle for his grain caravan headed for the Kingdom of Greenhilt’s seat of power and grain hub, Fellingport. Can they succeed in a simple delivery, or will they be foiled by more unscrupulous elements? The road is long and filled with surprises. Tune in to find out!

[dicecastshow]

We’re now on our third episode and a fight is brewing just ahead. The party meets a would-be patron and are now in the sights of Nostandor’s infamous Thieves Guild. Their courage (or, quite frankly, their dismissive attitude) may very well be the end of them - but not today. This week’s episode is a bit on the short side, not unlike our new thief “friend,” but worry not! Next week, swords will sing and arrows will dance - as the first part of an inexplicably long courtship with death ensues.

[dicecastshow]

At long last, the next episode in our ongoing campaign is published! Adella joins the party in-game, but with her companionship also comes her pursuers…

Dicecast Episode 01 - Almost Heroes

Our pilot episode! This ragtag group of almost-heroes attempts to upset societal norms, to completely expected results. Have they sunk their teeth into somet...

Song, Skill, Magic, and Muscle. Does our cast possess these talents? On paper, yes, and in great abundance. In real life? Well, they all at least have pleasing personalities! Welcome to the Dicecast Show! A D&D web series featuring a homebrew adventure set in the world of Faerun.

Bear witness to a nameless, ragtag group of not-quite-heroes as they attempt to fight against the looming doom that threatens their land. Be enthralled by Sariel, an attention-hogging Half-Elf Bard. Swoon at the sexy awkwardness that is Zephyndr the Tiefling Warlock. Make sure to double-check your belongings whenever Adella the Halfling Rogue swings by, and witness the freakishly overdeveloped arms of Jagrick the Dragonborn Fighter flex every time he so much as lifts a cup of tea.

Our dice ain't loaded, but life still isn’t fair. Andliving under the thumb of an omnipotent Dungeon Master is even less fair. While our characters aren’t yet aware of this, the players behind these semi-fantastic beings are doing their utmost best to keep them alive long enough to see the end of this long journey. I think we’ll be clocking in almost 100 episodes. Don’t quote me on that; I’m just the PR guy.

We're on track to keep your D&D cravings satisfied with episodes scheduled to release bimonthly, and totally-not-filler-content between every episode. No need to roll Constitution saves on that holding-your-breath check, just follow us on Facebook, Twitter, or our humble website to stay updated.
