2018 is over! We did it! It can't hurt us anymore. New year means a brand new season of Dragon Friends - but first we're going back to basics with a couple of one shots. First cab off the ranks is a special zombie-themed runthrough of The End of the World RPG by Fantasy Flight Games - the Game Where You Play Yourself And Murder Your Friends Because You Have Trouble Expressing Affection. Note: Alex and Ben are away for these first two episodes because they both had children over the break (!!!). Instead, this episode features Victoria Zerbst and Jenna Owen from Freudian Nip!

There's a very fine line between a podcast recording and a hostage negotiation in this, the 72-minute FINAL EPISODE of Season 4 of Dragon Friends. There's a lot to wrap up. There's been a lot of fucking around. Dave will keep you here all night if he has to.Featuring special guests Montaigne and Demi Lardner! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Things are coming to ahead on the Heart of Glass. The ship may be back in the control of the Dragon Friends, but there's precious little to celebrate about. Also an old friend shows up, and it's not Bobby. Sorry. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ancient bards speak of the the four classic narrative structures. Man vs God, Man vs Nature, Man vs Man and Freezo vs Simple Turbine Trap. In this grand tradition we present the latest episode of Dragon Friends - with guest DM Carlo Ritchie! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

From the icy tundras of the Deadlands to the techno-marvellous corridors of the Heart of Glass and yet something feels, off. The Dragon Friends come face to face with a reckoning which is really probably their fault if we're honest.This episode features guest DM Carlo Ritchie (Edvard Ostwick, MR T3RM1NAL) as Dave was vomiting so much he literally thought he was going to die. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Trapped in a tower with a half-god half-mad high elf warlock who can't die and also happened to make the tower and all the death traps therein. Emma Balfour returns as Baston while Edan continues to film an ad for.. light beer maybe? Also, a lot of this episode is set in a walk-in wardrobe, which you don't see a lot of in fantasy, actually. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Dragon Friends make their way to the frozen wastes of the Deadlands and Dave needs to realise at this point it's too late to teach anyone new rules.With special guest Emma Balfour. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Blood lies on the tiles of the House Eternal. The Dragon Friends are far from home having lost their ship, their homelands and even their very memories... until an unlikely ally returns with some very welcome news. Also Ben makes a pun and is way too chuffed about it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The House Eternal. How can the Dragon Friends escape a prison with no locks, with doorways that seem to fold back on themselves? One thing is for sure: if there is a way to escape it's locked somewhere inside Freezo's purloined memories - if only he'd stop trying to set fire to the library for long enough to work it out. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The City of Brass. The Feywild. Primus. Carcosa. The Deadlands and the Bluffs of Chance. The Blessed Fields and the Nine Circles. The House Eternal. Nine known worlds locked in celestial ballet within the Cradle, each seeming to know more about the Dragon Friends and their missing memories than the one before. If the Dragon Friends could regain these memories, they might have a chance to defend themselves against the crimes they're accused of - though Freezo is absolutely going to have to learn to shut up first. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Far beyond the minds of mortal men and women, the Council on Primus deliberate and hold sway over the fate of the Nine Known Worlds. The Dragon Friends have been brought before them to answer for crimes too terrible to contemplate... if only they could actually remember doing any of them.Featuring special guest (and Good Boy) Tom Walker! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Just an absolutely, dreadful idea. DM'd by Michael "Freezo" Hing with special guests Gen Fricker, Greg Larsen and... more? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This was a terrible idea. DM'd by Michael "Freezo" Hing with special guest Gen Fricker. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Engine Halls of the Saturnine are no place for a child, let alone a child as fat, and stupid, and awful as poor, poor Bonathan Kndd. But worry not, lad! The Dragon Friends are on the case and they're here to win your freedom... if the Bellowsmaster Cardinal doesn't stop them first, that is. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

An ancient cruse liner, a terrible secret and a hell of a morning after for Bobby Pancakes. The Dragon Friends make their way from the captain's chambers all the way down to the engine halls where even more trouble awaits. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Gliding deep through the inky void between planes is the Saturnine, completing once more her sisyphean tour of the nine known worlds. The Dragon Friends have little time to sample her many, decadent luxuries however, as a string of disappearances has them rattled and there's a mystery to solve, a child to rescue and... an open mic night to win?This episode features Ben Loomes from Syrinscape providing live (and, at times, very distressing) sound effects. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Dragon Friends are booking it out of the Abyss and onto the decks of the Saturnine, a luxury planar cruiser heading straight to Primus.

Life moves pretty fast as the Dragon Friends find themselves departing the glittering forests of the Feywild for altogether warmer, if not sunnier, climes.Featuring special guests Montaigne and Carlo Ritchie with music by the Sonic Boom Lords. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Admiral Jayne Steyer and the Primer fleet have scoured the Nine Known Worlds for any sight of the Dragon Friends and at last have found them, caught red handed on the fringes of wild space. A sudden jump, a chance reunion and a party soon follow. Also quite a lot of really rather erotic poetry.This episode features NPCs by Carlo Ritchie and special guest Montaigne, who wrote a song! She's backed by Rob Boddington and Dan & Pete who insisted they be credited as the Sonic Boom Lords. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Heart of Glass; Johnny's parting gift and a vessel capable of piercing the border ethereal and delivering the Dragon Friends to the wild spaces beyond the Nine Known Worlds and maybe even home... if they can just work out how to pilot it. It's a brand new season with new challenges and opportunities and a new special guest: Demi Lardner! This episode features the unnecessarily highbrow contributions of cellist Ange Lavoipierre who is a very good sport indeed. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Dragon Friends have travelled from the dizzying heights of the Barovian Balinoks to the infomatic wastelands of Earth 2075 but it’s time for a homecoming of sorts.

The thrilling finale to our incredibly stupid Noir-themed adventure with Nick Mason. The Dragon Friends are hot on the trail of the missing dwarf Fungbunger - but in detecting, it pays to be... suspicious. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

See acast.com/privacy for more information.

So it's all come to this. Now that we think of it, it couldn't have ended any other way. The Dragon Friends face their greatest challenge yet. There's violence, hacking, a kickass soundtrack by Tom Lowndes and the deaths of untold innocents. Also Sam Campbell wore a mask and an elephant trunk for all of the recording so if it helps, imagine that. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Johnny! They shot Johnny! But who? And why?

Freeside... shining city of splendour in the sky. The Dragon Friends are closer than they've ever been to Johnny Playstation and the salvation he represents - but how to find him in this teeming, gilded playground of the rich? And that old cursed arcade machine was probably fine, right?Featuring special guest Tom Walker. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Picture a casino with Freeside at the top and the Dragon Friends at the bottom. The Dragon Friends need to get to Freeside. Whole lotta people gotta die. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Things do not go as planned.Featuring special guest Zoë Rae! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Great Brisvegas Ute Muster is a meeting of the minds if by minds you mean muscle cars, battleroos and two stubbies per ticket holder with no passouts. The Dragon Friends stand at the foot of the Haystack with a ticket to Freeside burning a hole in their increasingly tattered pockets. Also I guess they have a robot friend now? Everything is fine.With special guest Zoë Rae! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Dragon Friends are off to Seattle for the Stream of Annihilation this weekend! Not the characters, the real ones. But then what is real when you're racing through the irradiated Australian desert in search of fuel to make your way to Freeside and you're wearing a man's face as a hat? Hard to say.Featuring special guest Zoë Rae. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Dungeon Dave was in Melbourne when we recorded this but he left a lot of notes for Ben to run the adventure in his absence. Ben... tried his best. This one is set in Australia and for some reason that seems to bring out the worst in us, so there's quite a bit of swearing even by our standards.Featuring Zoë Rae! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

"so they start in new york and they get away from the cops n meet edan at that bar but then it turns into a hideout and mr sour is there and then the roof opens and turns into a spaceship or something and they fly to LONDON which dave briefly forgets but then there's this mad mission impossible style break in to get into the matrix and then they have to be all ocean's eleven about gettin some stuff outta there and i think they're still in there when it ends it was real great cant wait for the next one" - Benny DavisOutro music remix of Girlfriend by Johnny Playstation produced by Gotifoo, check it out here https://soundcloud.com/gotifoo/girlfriend-dragon-friends Hosted on Acast.

New York, city of angels... of demons... of high-pursuit Lyft chases down the winding streets of 5th Avenue. The Dragon Friends have had enough of high society and are trying to find a way out of this no-good crooked town... if Freezo will just stay still long enough to be trampled to death, please.Featuring special guest Kate Coates. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Dragon Friends are in New York City, the land of many names, apparently.

Philge sees a play. Freezo is a monster.With special guest Bridie Connell. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Dragon Friends are summoned by a mysterious vice president to the headquarters of Horizon Tokyo Division. Then it's a hop, skip and a stab over the pacific on their next assignment. Also, Freezo fires a gun on a plane. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Backstage is in uproar at Johnny Playstation's Chiba concert. The Dragon Friends have been found with a gun and a corpse which is hardly a good first impression. Playstation's show is about to start and there's precious little time to get their bearings before he's going onstage. This podcast recording featured a smoke machine and lasers which, in hindsight, was probably unnecessary for a strictly audio-based medium.Featuring special guests Bridie Connell & Tom Walker. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

IT'S SEASON THREE! A brand new start for the Dragon Friends in an EXCITING NEW SETTING. Did our heroes escape the Vampire Strahd? (yes). Are they lost in time and space? (yes) Will Freezo carry any of the lessons he learned last season with him? (doubtful). Also, an exciting costume change! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
