Would anyone consider listening to an audio drama with DND in it?

To be clear—this is not a 4 hour DND stream with 45 minutes of voice acting.

This is a tight 45 to 60 minutes edited improvised audio drama that uses DND rules to fight monsters and uses dice rolls to shape narrative.

Would any of you give this a ten minute chance? Or is the term DND just too much of a turn-off? (Or are there a few of you that are interested in DND and just haven’t found a good enough story yet?

Thanks for reading.

EDIT 1: Thanks for being such a welcoming community. That is not common, at least where I have been.

EDIT 2: I deleted a comment of mine that was extremely stupid and ignorant and was rightly downvoted. No sense in annoying any more people than I already have.

Im sure between us we’ve seen just about everything, but I was NOT expecting this.

This is our latest short. If you are interested in checking out Strahd Reloaded in action by an RP forward group, here is a short that is pretty representative.

What do you guys do to ramp up the horror?

All 5 brides

Rahadin.

And Strahd himself.

Our party enters Castle Ravenloft for the first time—for the iconic dinner with Strahd.

We’d love you to check it out and let us know what you think. If you already have clicked on us from previous posts , our table has completely changed (dnd happens), our production value has grown so much and we have really hit our stride as storytellers so we’d love you to look again.

We’d love feedback—what would you have done differently? Or if you’ve already run the scene, how did it go for you?

Thanks as always for considering.

My players got a little too comfortable and gave Strahd a little back talk.

This is the end of his “redefinition of the relationship.”

Let me know what you think.

The party got a bit familiar with Count Strahd….so he begins to “clarify their relationship……”

TL;DR: 40 episodes into a Strahd Reloaded campaign and the “Krezk-sposition”is going….not how we expected. Curious how others have handled it.

We just dropped Episode 40 of our RP-heavy Strahd Reloaded run, and honestly the thing that surprised me most is how many threads of exposition there are.

Krezk in particular kind of broke our expectations.

After the battle heavy Wizard of Wines and Yester Hill, we were looking forward to a “safer” stop

Of course it turns tense fast—between the Abbot, the burgomaster’s family, and the threat of werewolves. But we’ve found meeting all these new characters and setting up the next few arcs is a lot of information in a short period of time.

We’ve leaned pretty hard into character-driven choices and roleplay, so that’s definitely impacted how long these beats are.

I’m curious—for DMs that have run CoS before-especially if you’ve run Reloaded—how have you handled these chunks of new info? As a DM, I’m trying not to give too much and only answering questions when they ask. But if you have some ideas how to punch it up a little, I’m interested to hear ideas.

If you want to see how ours is playing out, I can drop a link, but mostly I’m interested in how other tables handled it.
