Welcome to Cala

Sun, 09 Apr 2017 23:33:36 -0400

Thanks for downloading the first episode of the dungeons and debacles podcast. I am Kevin the dungeons master. Before we get started I'd like to take a minute to tell you what to expect out of our show. We're a real-play 5e podcast, but we also do some scripted bonus episodes, kind of like a radio drama.

I want to give you an out of game look as to what was left in the player's wake, to expand the lore and to foreshadow future challenges.

Also - stick around for the end of the episode for fantasy commercials for magical items and services. check them out - they are pretty funny.

I am going to go ahead and apologize now for some early episodes as we were learning how to record this and the production quality isn't where I would like it.

In another life I was a radio station production director - so I know what I am about. I want this to be immersive and sound great.

I am going to remaster some of them to add music and sound effects.

It takes us about 12 episodes to figure out what works across the internet. If you want to know how the sausage is made - I made the mistake of recording ambient atmosphere in the dialog over roll20.

We got it on lock now. Stick with it. The story is there.

Speaking of story - I have a 200 plus epsiode campaign arc planned right now. We put out an episode every week so this will be a long term commitment to get to the end of the story. We're up for it and we hope you are too.

Also - we move the plot. There isn't a lot of bullshitting or random encounters for the sake of fighting something. We digress sometimes if there is something funny - but I keep the editing tight - there isn't going to be a lot of long pauses while someone looks something up in the players handbook.

This is a homebrew world and you will be able to find details world and city maps on our website - dungeonsanddebaclespodcast.com as well as background lore on items and character sheets for the players.

We are also an explicit podcast - that's because we have potty mouths. If that makes you uncomfortable - I get it - but we aren't constantly dropping F-bombs but you know how it goes in the heat of getting your ass kicked. You might not want to listen to it with small kids in the room.

Speaking of getting your ass kicked - no player is safe in this podcast. I have to problem TPKing these assholes if they do something stupid. They will just have to roll new toons.

Not to spoil too much - but listen to episode 15 betrayal. One of our friends - Leo - the dungeon master of the Dungeons and Disorders podcast does a guest spot as an evil boss - and - lets just say things go sideways and the campaign changes dramatically.

Thanks for giving us a chance and leave a review if you like what you hear. It helps more than anything else. You can also give us feedback on Facebook and Twitter - we'd love to hear what you think and ideas for the story, items and monster.

Five strangers are enjoying their meal and entertainment in the common room of the Trade Winds Inn.

Before they know it, they are dragged into a dangerous fight in the border town of Cala when a kobold attack forces them into action.

BONUS: Aftermath on the Grass Isle

Sun, 26 Nov 2017 11:00:00 -0500

We are off this week due to the Thanksgiving holiday. I hope you all got to spend some quality time with family and friends.

I thought this was a great opportunity for a bonus episode to explain what happened in the aftermath of our villains’ visit to the Grass Isle.

I hope to do a lot more of these in the future to give you some context to what is going on in the story. Just because our adventurers aren’t in the scene - doesn’t mean the world stops turning.

If you are into that sort of thing I hope you enjoy it. If not - no worries - we will have a new episode out next week.

The Grass Isle arc was originally supposed to just be an episode or two to introduce the back story of one of the saviors - Borsch Bonebreaker and to give some flavor and foreshadow.

I also wanted to throw a moral quandry into our heroes path because that’s what us DM’s do.

To no one’s suprise they plowed through it, but I wasn’t expecting our dragonborn Juliet to attempted to do the right thing and expose the chief for this dishonor.

This is probably a good example of why you should ask, even a minor NPC’s name to get a feel of where loyalities lie.

If they had, Juliet would have known that the person she tried to expose the dishonorable chief to, was actually his brother.

So now we find ourselves at a clans meeting as the half orcs of the Grass Isle try to figure out who will be their next leader.

Season 3: A recap and summary of the campaign so far

Thu, 08 Aug 2019 22:26:37 -0400

We are entering season three and we just crossed the 100 episode threshold and I thought this would be a good time to do a recap for those of you just joining.

We know it can be daunting to look at a podcast and see 100 plus episodes, but at the same time - that means we are committed to doing this and finishing the campaign.

Speaking of which - I had originally planned about a 200 episode campaign - but it I grossly underestimated. Right now - it will probably be more like 300.

We are up for it - and I hope you are too.

I will do my best to briefly summarize what has happened so far - I might miss one of your favorite parts, but I really recommend starting from the beginning and listening to the story so far.

We don’t mess around too much and introduce a bunch of random encounters just to fight something.

The editing is tight and there is a lot of story and plot. There are also bonus episodes that are basically scripted radio dramas that tell the story outside the gameplay that describe what is going on with the rest of the world - which is just as important.
