Dreamers, fear the strangers in your midst. Travel is not advised. Alas, it was to none but me, ah, but I call it love. This is Spines. Note to future Nyx. There is a curse upon my every waking breath, and I cannot escape the darkness. A god must feed. A god must be fed. Why are there no stars? I call the only road's end, the last gasp of light's breath. Good night, Night Vale, statement ends.

You know, when you think about it, just about everything about Jeff Goldblum being in Dark Dice is hilarious.

According to Travis Vengroff, he basically emailed Jeff Goldblum's people and was like "Hey, does Jeff wanna be on our horror D&D podcast?" and "people kept not saying no" (that's a direct quote). Like, Jeff was just like "why the hell not? I haven't done one of these before and it sounds fun."

And then there's a big deal made about it because, you know, it's Jeff freaking Goldblum playing D&D. That's catnip to so many people. There were clickbait articles. People discovered Dark Dice, and by extension Fool & Scholar, through this (me included, and now I'm nose deep in White Vault theorizing so look where that got me).

And then like three episodes in, his character is revealed to be a recurring shapeshifting villain (which, incidentally, implies that that particular villain once looked like Jeff Goldblum as an elf before he got warped into the thing it is now). He attacks the party's ranger and fucks off. Which, sure, it's Jeff Goldblum, they probably couldn't keep his character in the whole thing because they guy's super busy and wouldn't be able to be there for every session, right?

But he keeps turning up! They did a musical adaptation of the first season, which he wasn't even in, and they had him do the voice of that villain! He sings as an eldritch horror! It's great!

Domain of the Nameless God is an incredible module, and Travis and Kaitlin are some of the best podcasters and nicest people out there. Having been following them since the early days of The White Vault, it's super exciting to see how far they've come and how much cool stuff they still have planned. I will happily attest to the horrifying delights of play testing a bunch of the content here, just not in this post because it's already Long

SO ANYWAY, Unnatural Horrors!! Bring some fun terror to your table!!

Horrorcon UK

Ok, so a little rather late for an Audio Drama Sunday post, but I wanted to share what an epic weekend we had at Horrorcon UK in Sheffield 11-12th May.

Myself, Daivd Ault and James Cleveland (all from The NoSleep Podcast) were there promoting "Horror in Audio Fiction", trying to get more people to discover audio drama and fiction through podcasts, and not assuming all podcasts were two blokes talking about stuff into a mic.

Having worked on over a 100 shows between us, (with a lot of horror), it became a game of "Tell us what kind of horror you like, and we'll recommend a show for you to listen to".

From the big anthology shows like NoSleep, and the very British and queer Shadows at the the Door, we kept finding more shows to talk about and add to an ever-growing flow chart.

Shows we were flag waving for included:

The NoSleep Podcast Shadows at the Door @re-dracula @thekilda @woebegonepod Dark Dice Red Odyssey Audible Visions Drama Creepy Campfire Radio Theatre The Wicked Library Victoria's Lift The Dead @lessismorguepod The Hidden Frequencies

And it wasn't just horror! We gave shoutouts to @camlannpod and the sci-fi series Cyclone as well!

In all, a wonderful weekend introducing people to the incredible world of audio drama and fiction.

We've been editing audio for Dark Dice for quite some time, but haven't shared much about the behind the scenes side of the show. For today's Hemlock Halloween feature, we'd love to share Rascal News' interview with Dark Dice creator Travis Vengroff, where he delves into the making of Dark Dice, and the immersive horror of grief.

easily my fav genre of gmmtv: gem throwing punches

[britcision]

Hi yeah good morning or whatever, how the FUCK did Dark Dice get Jeff Goldblum?

Like. Is it actually Jeff Goldblum? When did they meet? How??

I was planning to catch up anyway but now even more than the story in the actual play I need to know the story of Why Is Jeff Goldblum Here???

[bullshotuk]

On this #AudioDramaSunday apparently I'm in the finals of the @audioverseawrds in 2 categories for 2 roles each !

In the "Guest Voices" category for "Forgive Me!" and "Dark Dice"

gmmtv trailers

Starting with REVAMP THE UNDEAD STORY I think I actually like this trailer more than the previous one, this one makes more sense.

Is this Scarlet Heart as in korean drama with IU? This has a lot of potencial but the story is so heartbreaking, one ride is enough

The Ex-Morning - suprise suprise suprise, and it looks simple but interesting

Dark Dice - Jumanji or sth else like we have seen this film (or anime or drama) before

Sweet Tooth, Good Dentist - looks so cute, also I am gonna name the actor Poon Friend bc it looks like he was created to play such roles

Break up service - at best this trailer feels iffy

Thame - Po - I do not see it as for now, stuff involving idols are almost always the same but Est is so pretty

Hide & Sis - bonus points for classic Ophelia especially bc today is book day aka Shakespeare birthday. It looks interesting, but also what will be the plot twist since the trailer seems to uncover a lot

Us - looks like movie

Perfect10 Liners - seen this milion times already

Friendshit Forever - LOVE the name, like give me more Friend and Forever variations! And this is almos all I can say bc there is no subtitles. It kinda looks superficial

The ​Heart Killers - no sense just fun

Leap Day - is this supposed to be horror or sth

Ossan’s Love Thailand - I have no clue about original series but this looks so funny, Mix character seems to be a little like the one from Cupid Last Wish

not to plug yet Another thing Jasper William Cartwright is in but it's one that doesn't have much of a presence here

Dark Dice!! I yelled a bit about this show after Neverafter ended because it is horror and now Jasper gets to join in for season 3!

If you haven't heard the first two seasons, never fear (though they are also incredible), season 3, Shores of the Silver Thrum, is set years before and is a completely new story, so no background knowledge is required.

Dark Dice sits at the border of actual play and audio drama, the sound design and music are phenomenal, I'm not caught up yet but Jasper's character Agé (a half-orc warlock) has made at least one VERY questionable decision and it's real fun to hear him in this right after hearing him as wife-guy-stoat.

So yeah. Dark Dice. Whole show is amazing, Jeff Goldblum is in season 2, Jasper is in season 3, please yell with me about it
