Also, D&D campaign

We need the podcast equivalent of old radio shows, like acting out a story with sound effects

[–] S_H_K@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 hours ago

Is almost as if you were asking about DnD poscasts...
Well no one mentioned Legends of Avantris... Check it out Torbek and Chuckles are comedy gold.

Oh man, have I got the movie for you. Do you like farces?

There's plenty of audio dramas, and actual plays that are more edited and produced than, say, Critical Role.

Edit: Came across this site just now: https://audiodrama.directory/

My personal favorite D&D podcast is Tales from the Stinky Dragon XD

[–] Gigasser@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

Shout-out to the Adeptus Ridiculous podcast as well as the Acceptable Losses podcast for doing 40K and setting lore deep dives!

Well if we're strictly speaking DnD I guess it'd be Worlds Beyond Number's main campaign (that's DnD right?).

But Fun City, Gutter and Unend are my personal favs using other systems :)

[–] bumblefumble@mander.xyz 2 points 6 hours ago

Yeah The Wizard, The Witch and The Wild One is DnD and I can highly recommend it.

The Adventure Zone is what got me into D&D. Balance is surprisingly easy to run as a home campaign

Re: radio shows... Back when I listened to podcasts, there were so many. I can't speak to their current quality (I largely stopped listening to podcasts in 2020), but there was Wolf 359, The Far Meridian, The Magnus Archives, The Bright Sessions, Ars Paradoxica, Hello from The Magic Tavern, and a ton more that I never even heard of. Then there's the literal fictional radio shows like WIDK and Welcome to Nightvale

I feel like D&D campaign falls, spiritually, under ‘recapping a movie but it’s longer than the movie’

[–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Then you've been listening to the wrong campaigns.

[–] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 hours ago

I didn’t say I disliked it! I’ve probably spent more time listening to theory videos about ASOIAF than I did listening to the books, I like proverbially dissecting the frog. So a D&D campaign with 5 minutes of OOC discussion for every 1-2 minutes of gameplay is just my speed.

[–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

My favorite here are Mystery Quest and the Apocalypse Players.

Though I might have a thing for humorous horror.

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 1 points 5 hours ago

I love the Apocalypse Players. Just the right amount of madness.

[–] thejoker954@lemmy.world 10 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

That's why I love Thrilling Adventure Hour so much. Its funny and in the style of old time radio.

There's plenty of high production podiodramas but they are more like a movie to me than old radio dramas.

[–] Aeri@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

I once listenee to a Batman podcast which was an audio drama that I think was actually produced by the people who own Batman.

[–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 2 points 7 hours ago

Go, right now, right this second, and listen to all of Midnight Burger.
It is sooooooo good.
