Introduction and Master Page

About three years ago, a friend of mine told me that if I really loved DnD, I would have at least 100 gaming podcasts in my library. I am still quite far from that number - and I’m starting to suspect she was having me on - but boy am I having a good time.

What do we do with the things we love? We hoard them, or share them. So let me share with you.

Everything I listen to, or watch, is either on Apple Podcasts (probably others, but that’s the app I use), and/or YouTube.

Oxventure

Main page here

Oxventure, my first and truest love. When I decided to really get into DnD, this was my first actual play show, and it managed to tickle me just right. It has definitely spilled over into my games, and I refuse to be ashamed of my house rule “if it worked in Oxventure, it can work here”, even when it meant a moonbeam blew up a drug lab.

Oxventure was started by video gaming channels Outside Xbox (OXBox) and Outside Xtra (OXtra). Two of the hosts of OXBox, Andy Farrant and Jane Douglas, and the two hosts of OXtra, Ellen Rose and Luke Westaway, got their colleague Johnny Chiodini, then of EuroGamer, to DM a one-off game for them back in 2017. Not much later, the OXs had acquired costumes, convinced the last OXBox host Mike Channell to join, and started doing live shows at cons. Johnny has since spent some time on the channel DiceBreaker (more about them later), and then moved on to their own independent projects. Luke has also left OXtra for his own projects. However, both are still heavily involved in Oxventure, which has gone from strength to strength.

The main series, The Oxventurer’s Guild, was retroactively rearranged into seasons when they changed from almost exclusively one-session adventurers (sometimes broadcast in multiple instalments but recorded in one) to extended storylines. They brought the adventures of the Guild to a close in 2024, but by that point had already spun off two side-series, Blades in the Dark and Deadlands, and announced a new DnD series, Wyrdwood. They also have a selection of special one-offs, One-Shot Wonders and DnD But…, plus several mini-series.

The Adventure Zone

Main page here

As far as I can tell, The Adventure Zone is one of, if not the, oldest actual play shows out there - it debuted several months before Critical Role started streaming. They began with 5e as it was launched; when they started, there was only the Starter Set, not even the Player’s Handbook. Over a decade later, it’s still going strong.

I found them because one of the team co-hosts Sawbones, another podcast I listen to. The team are all one family; Justin, Travis and Griffin McElroy and their father Clint. They all have backgrounds in broadcasting and journalism, the boys were early into the podcast game with My Brother, My Brother and Me, and they’ve also done other podcasts. So their games are less technical, more jokey, and prioritise entertainment.

At time of writing, they are on their seventh main campaign, with numerous short series and one-shots, some of which attach to a campaign, some form their own series, and some are stand-alone.

DiceBreaker

DiceBreaker was a YouTube channel set up by Johnny Chiodini along with Michael “Wheels” Whelan and Alex Lolies in 2019. They were joined by Matt Jarvis, Alex Meehan and Sara Elsam. The channel was the home of all things tabletop, covering boardgames, trading card games, and TTRPG, or “pen-and-paper” role play games. Personally I’m only interested in the TTRPGs, though.

In 2020, Sara Elsam left, and then in 2021 Johnny left, and Lolies shortly after. Maddie Cullen and Olivia “Liv” Kennedy came on to take their places.

The parent company was acquired by IGN Entertainment in 2024, and DiceBreaker was shut down without public comment shortly after.

I miss DiceBreaker. Particularly the first two years; Liv and Maddie are great, but the chemistry just wasn’t the same. But I still loved it.

DiceBreaker’s stock in trade was to try a little bit of everything. While they tried extended serieses several times, most of their games were one-shots, often spread over two or three episodes. But their most endearing factor, for me, was a propensity for absolute chaos. They’re probably some of the games I revisit most

…damn I miss them.

Natural Six

Four voice actors and two writer/producers, all veterans of the video game industry, went to the pub to chat DnD, and left the stars of a new show. They recorded an episode zero, played a zero-point-five at a EGX 2023, and started a kickstarter. They got funding for ten episodes, then launched a Patreon to keep going. It’s a really quite high production value show, too.

The DM is Harry McEntire, and the players Doug Cockle, Hollie Bennett, Ben Starr, Aoife Wilson, and Alex Jordan.

The way these guys play is a lot more like a home game; the episodes tend to be longer, and there’s a lot more emphasis on mechanics in certain places. But it’s not too crunchy, it’s still very narrative, and a very cohesive story too, even though it’s clear players are still making a lot of the choices. Currently, there is one campaign, with each episode proper followed by a an after-show called Action Surge.

Fool’s Gold/ Fool’s Gold Sands

A YouTuber called DingoDoodles decided to make an animatic of a particularly memorable incident in her DnD game involving karaoke and a tarrasque. The viewers wanted more, so she animated the next bit. And the next, and the next. She kept going.

Dingo, her DM and now husband Felix, and fellow player Avery have managed to build it up: merchandise such as plushies; a successful kickstarter for a setting book and plethora of accessories; converting the game into a graphic novel; and an actual play with an all-new adventure called Fool's Gold: Sands.

The original animated series is still ongoing; Dingo has said she's not interested in animating the portion of the campaign before the karaoke incident (other than brief flashbacks), but she fully intends to animate to the end of the campaign. And Sands continues with Felix DMing and Dingo and Avery playing. Both are reasonably chaotic (honestly, the way I like it), but Sands feels more cohesive. However, that might be more of a reflection on the difference between Dingo remembering and retelling a game from years ago, and a game happening right now in your ear. Could also indicate Felix has tightened up his worldbuilding over the years. Either is totally fair.

Rusty Quill Gaming

This was recommended to me when they were midway through their…I believe it was their fourth season. I regret that I have yet to actually start the main campaign, as a 150+ episodes backlog is rather daunting. What I have listened to, and very much enjoyed, is their wide variety of one-shot specials utilising a whole host of different systems, and quite often guests as well.

Following the conclusion of their long-running campaign, they decided to start a new project called Chapter and Multiverse. This was relatively short-lived. The RQ network is still going strong - you may have heard of their hit horror podcast The Magnus Archives - but they seem to have stopped gaming. Which is a pity. If they started up a new campaign, I would love to jump in at the start.

The GM for the original campaign was Alex Newell, and the players were Brynn Monroe, Ben Meredith, Lydia Nicholas, and James Ross, who left partway through the campaign, replaced by Helen Gould. The GM for Chapter and Multiverse was Maddy Searle, and the players Ahmed Aljabry, Lowri Ann Davies, Lydia Nicholas, and Pip Gladwin.

Rolling With Difficulty

A couple of veteran podcasters and DnD aficionados decided to try their hand at an actual play show, and it came out quite nicely. It explores the Planescape, but before the Planescape was brought to 5e, which to my mind means DM Austin did a pretty impressive job. They ran a campaign of five seasons, then started a second, currently in its second season.

This is a rather more technical game than most I listen to. While it’s very definitely set into episodes, it feels a lot more like a home game than something like TAZ, which plays to the audience. It’s also less chaotic - some chaos, but much more restrained - but where it shines is in the setting. Not only is there the Planescape world-between-worlds, they explore so many different worlds, many with their own rules governing them. Of course the characters are also well-crafted, with their own quirks and foibles, and the characters and the settings mesh very well together. And of course, the Weird Little Dudes, the ever-growing cast of companion creatures running around at ankle level.

Not all the cast members use full or real names, so bear with. They are Austin Funk, OSP Red, Sophia Ricciardi, Noir, and Wally.

Realms of Peril and Glory

At time of writing (07 Mar 2025), Realms is my newest, and I haven’t really got to grips with it yet. They play a lot of different systems, shorter seasons that sometimes follow on from each other and sometimes don’t. They have guests often, including Johnny Chiodini from Oxventure and DiceBreaker. I will hopefully be able to write a better summary after I’ve familiarised myself with it; I’ve only listened to one short season so far, and it was very good.

I believe the main cast members are Zack Fortais-Gomm (who’s also Oxventure’s producer), James Barbarossa, Maddy Searle, Liz Campbell, Laura Girling, Naomi Clarke, and Pip Gladwin.

Puffin Forest

YouTuber Puffin Forest, Ben, has a wonderful range of bitesized animatics of notable characters or incidents, but he’s also done an absolutely brilliant retelling of an entire Curse of Strahd campaign he played in, another retelling of Waterdeep: Dragon Heist, and a handful of actual plays.

Ben’s illustrations are great, his breadth of game knowledge is impressive, but his storytelling is astounding. I remember awaiting eagerly each new instalment. He doesn’t seem to be doing much anymore, at least not publishing on YouTube, but what he’s given us is fabulous.

Reba Derps’ Chibi DnD

I'm not trying to throw shade on Reba Derps, she's got a lot more talent and a lot more gumption than me, but I highly doubt you'll ever see this channel on a recommended list. There's not a lot, Reba went silent quite a few years ago now, but it's fun, it's funny, and the illustrations are lovely.

Put simply, it's an animatic retelling what happened in a home game - not unlike the original Fool's Gold, but somewhat less dramatic. But games don't have to be overly dramatic to be fun. This was a series I found very early in my journey to loving DnD, and in reflection, I can see some really clever stuff that went on in that game.

And of course, adventurers in an adorable chibi style.

God it’s so annoying when you really like something but it’s a ten episode webseries with a nonexistent fandom, but you just want to scream about how much you love the characters.

Royality - meeting at a dog park, excitable dogs, maybe some flirting and arranging a “play date?”

Anon said: Can you write something for Royality? -PB

Dog Park

Warnings: none that I can think of?

Pairing: Royality

Word Count: ~300

“Dodger, wait!”

The fluffy brown Akita bounded through the park, chasing after a squirrel. Roman darted after him, calling Dodger’s name as he ran.

The dog changed course, bounding towards another human, causing Roman to slip and fall on the dewy grass. He heard someone fall fairly close by before the sound of the cutest giggle filled his ears.

“And who do you belong to?”

Roman scrambled to his feet, easily locating his dog. He grabbed the leash, tugging Dodger to his side and off of whoever he’d just knocked over. “Sorry, he’s mi-”

The words died on Roman’s tongue as his eyes landed on one of the most handsome men he’d ever seen.

The man flashed him a smile as he popped to his feet. “Hi, I’m Patton! My dog’s name is Oliver.”

“Oliver? Like Oliver and Company?” Roman asked, just now noticing the shiba inu sitting at Patton’s feet. “My dog’s name is Dodger.”

“What a coinkydink!” Patton kneeled down, letting Dodger lick his face. Between giggles, he asked, “What’s your name?”

“Roman. Roman Valentine.”

Patton straightened up, a slight blush rising to his cheeks. “Does that mean you make a good valentine?”

An easy smile settled onto Roman’s face. “My past valentines have thought so. Care to try me out?”

“You don’t have plans already?” Patton looked genuinely confused. “You’ve got a cute dog, a great smile, and a handsome face. How are you not taken?”

“I guess I hadn’t found the right person until today.” Roman laughed as Patton squeaked. “But I can’t wait a whole week to take you out. I had plans to take Dodger to the dog park tomorrow, would you and Oliver care to join us?”

“What do you think, Oliver?”

Oliver let out a bark and wagged his tail.

“It’s a date.”

Logan is having a bad day and his fellow sides are trying to cheer him up

You Had a Bad Day

Warnings: none

Pairings: Platonic LAMP

Word Count: ~300

It had started early.

He’d woken up an hour late.

He’d spilled his coffee on his favorite tie.

He’d burned his toast. Not even the Crofter’s could save it.

It was official. Logan was having a no good, horrible, very bad day.

Each of the others had been witness to one of his plights. Patton had been confused when he’d taken a shower and the mirror wasn’t fogged up. The coffee pot had been thrust into Virgil’s hands when Logan went to change. And Roman had been making scrambled eggs when the toaster started smoking.

“We should do something to cheer him up.” Patton whispered as they gathered in Roman’s room.

Virgil nodded. “He’d do the same for us.”

They began brainstorming, which was hard without logic. In the end, they came up with an excellent idea.

“Hey, L?”

Logan looked up at Virgil, holding a book and a torn page. He masked his exhaustion a second too late. “Can I help you, Virgil?”

Virgil tugged on his sleeves. “Pat wanted me to tell you we’re having dinner in the Imagination tonight. I think he mentioned something about sushi?”

At the mention of his favorite food, Logan’s face visibly brightened. “Very well. Let’s go.”

The two of them headed for the rainbow door. Upon opening it, a smile spread across Logan’s face. “A picnic?”

“That’s not all!” Roman waved a hand, darkness spreading across the sky. A wave of stars fell into place, shimmering bright.

The stars lit up Logan’s eyes. “They’re in proper position.”

“Good, because I looked at charts for hours.” Roman admitted, biting his thumb. “We wanted everything to be perfect.”

Patton nodded, pulling plates out of the picnic basket. “We know your day hasn’t been the best.”

“We wanted to make it better.” Virgil sat down. “We love you, L.”

Tears pricked at Logan’s eyes as he looked at his fellow sides.

“I love you too.”

“Hey, Logan, could you help me with these?” Roman asked, holding up a stack of papers as he came into the commons. “I had a massive creative rush last night and I need to see if any of them are good.”

“I’m sure they’re fine.” Logan flipped a page in his book.

A huff left Roman’s mouth. “Logan, please?”

“Roman, this is my one day to relax. Thomas has no plans, which means I get a much needed break.” Logan explained without looking up. “Just pick one.”

“But I want to know what you think!” Roman dropped the ideas on the coffee table. “You’re telling me to pick one, but tomorrow you’ll say that you hate it or that it wasn’t polished enough. I was trying to avoid that.”

Logan closed his book, setting it on the coffee table with a dull thunk. “I’m sorry that I seem to hate all of your ideas. It wasn’t my intention to make you feel that way. But I would like to relax, so let’s go over these later.”

“But I want to go over them now.”

“I don’t care!” Logan snapped. Roman took a step back. “I’ve been looking forward to a break for weeks now. Thomas is overworking himself, and therefore overworking us. If you want to work on your day off, that’s fine, but I am done.”

“Do you know how long it took for me to swallow my pride and come down here?” Anger raged in Roman’s eyes. “I’m trying to make an effort.”

“That’s a first.” Logan quipped. “Why do you care about my input anyway?”

“Gee, I don’t know Specs, maybe because I’m in love with you.”

Both sides froze as Roman realized what he said. Blushing a deep red, he cleared his throat. “You know what, I’ll just choose an idea myself.”

Logan reached out. “Roman, wait-”

But it was too late.

Roman was gone.

52 anxceit pleaseeee

Warning: Obviously Deceit is in this.

52: “Are you going to talk to me?”

“Are you going to talk to me?”

Virgil stood just outside of Deceit’s door. He’d noticed the snake lurking around the common area, but when Virgil fully turned to look at him he’d disappeared.

The others hadn’t noticed, but Virgil knew something was off.

Which was how he found himself in the hidden area of the mindscape, his back against Deceit’s door, staring at his old bedroom.

“Don’t go away.” Came the voice from inside. It sounded raw, as though he’d been crying.

Virgil sighed, stuffing his hands in his pockets. “D, please. I know something’s wrong.”

No more words came, but the door unlocked. Virgil twisted the handle, stepping inside.

He’d forgotten what this room looked like. Every lie Thomas had ever told, written across the walls. The more it was told, the bigger it was.

Deceit was sitting on his bed, wrapped in a black blanket. His usual attire was replaced with yellow flannel pajamas.

“D? Can I sit?”

Deceit nodded, not looking up. Virgil sat next to him, reaching for one of his hands.

The second he touched the skin, he pulled back, concern flooding his features. “D, you’re freezing.”

“I d-d-didn’t know that.”

Virgil thought back to the others. They’d been watching a movie when he’d felt Deceit’s presence.

Then it clicked. Every time they watched a movie, they made a cuddle pile with blankets.

“Come on.”

The blanket fell from Deceit’s shoulders as Virgil yanked him to his feet. He hissed. “Where are we going?”

“Upstairs. I’ll wrap you up like a burrito and let you sleep in my lap.”

“That sounds horrible.”

The others didn’t bat an eye when Virgil showed up with Deceit in tow. Instead, they made room for them on the couch, letting the snake burrow into his blankets and nap happily in Virgil’s arms.

First Kiss / In the rain // Romantic Human Au Moxiety???

Pouring

Warnings: verbal abuse

Pairings: Moxiety

Word Count: ~300

As the rain poured from the sky, tears streamed down Virgil’s face. He darted through the woods in his backyard, hastily climbing the rope ladder.

He hadn’t been to the treehouse in years, but it was the only place he had left.

Sobs poured from his mouth as he desperately tried to keep himself warm. But the rain had soaked his hoodie and water was easily dripping through the roof.

“Virge?” Snapping his head up, his eyes met Patton’s. In two seconds flat Patton’s eyes were glassy. “Oh, Virge!”

He crawled forward, holding his arms open hesitantly. Virgil threw himself into the familiar embrace, crying even harder.

“Shh, it’s okay. I’ve got you.” Patton reassured him. He shifted their positions so he could hold Virgil in his lap. “I’ve got you, I promise.”

Slowly, the downpour turned into a shower and Virgil’s sobs stopped. A hiccup left his mouth as he tried to curl further into Patton.

“If you want to, can you tell me what happened?” Patton started to rub Virgil’s back.

Virgil sniffed, glancing up at his best friend. “It-it’s my dad. He said that no one-that no one loved me. That’s why-that’s why my mom left.”

Patton gently tilted Virgil’s head so their eyes met. “Virgil, your dad is wrong. People do love you.”

“No they don’t.”

There was a small beat of silence. Virgil started to tear up again, afraid Patton was confirming his worst fears when-

“Virgil, I love you. And not-not just in a best friend way.” Patton admitted, his cheeks turning pink. “It’s okay if you don’t feel the sa-”

“I do.” Once more, tears pricked at Virgil’s eyelids, but this time they were happy. “Patton, I love you so much.”

“Can I kiss you?”

“Please.”

Virgil’s hands twisted into Patton’s polo as they shared their first kiss. It was extremely wet and full of inexperience, but it was perfect.

38 + 44 for analogical please ???

38: “I’m just tired.”

44: “Is that my shirt?”

Virgil sat up straight in his room, sweaty and shaking. The nightmare faded away, leaving him with dark and swirling thoughts.

Melatonin. Logan said it might help you sleep.

Virgil would’ve expected to find any of the others still awake. Roman was constantly going on about how his best ideas came at night and Patton insisted that Parks and Rec was better at two am.

He hadn’t expected to find Logan.

Logan, who preached about sleep being the key to good health.

Logan, who went to bed at ten o’clock on the dot.

Logan, who was…

“Is that my old hoodie?”

The logical side jumped, nearly falling out of his chair. Normally Virgil would’ve been amused at his face in the blue light coming out of his laptop, but right now he was just concerned.

“Virgil! I didn’t expect-ah, I-yes, it is your old hoodie.” Logan’s cheeks flushed. “I suppose I was just so tired that I didn’t realize…”

“Alright, come on,” Virgil closed the laptop. “We’re going to bed.”

As it turns out, the greatest cure for nightmares and insomnia was holding the one you love.

“Promise me you’ll come back.” and "ive never felt stronger then when your with me" prinxiety with Virgil saying first line please

102: “Promise me you’ll come back.”

104: “I’ve never felt stronger then when you’re with me.”

As Roman hustled about his room, preparing for his battle with the dragon witch, Virgil sat on his bed. He watched his boyfriend dart this way and that, grabbing anything and everything he might need.

“Ro?”

The tremor in Virgil’s voice made Roman drop what he was doing and dart to Virgil’s side. He slid his hands into Virgil’s, looking at him with love in his eyes. “Yes, my Stormcloud?”

Virgil took a deep breath. “Prom-promise me you’ll come back.”

“Of course I will. No one, not even the dragon witch, can take me away from you.” Leaning forward, Roman pressed a kiss to Virgil’s lips. A kiss that was feverishly returned. A whine left Virgil’s throat when Roman pulled back, making the creative side laugh. “You have nothing to fear, my love. Want me to let you in on a little secret?”

Virgil nodded, intertwining their fingers.

With his free hand, Roman pulled out a locket from under his princely garb. Inside was a picture of Virgil, smiling and laughing. “I took this on our first date. The look on your face was something I couldn’t live without. I keep this on me every time I fight because…well, because I’ve never felt stronger than when you’re with me. I would never endanger your life by bringing you on my quests, so I made this instead.”

A few tears leaked out of Virgil’s eyes as he looked up at Roman, starry eyed. “I love you.”

“And I love you.”
