FEED DROP: Dumbgeons & Dragons S3E1: Let's Begin Again! PLUS a chat with Dumbgeons Producers Russ and Kyle!
bonusToday’s episode is a feed drop for a show we genuinely love: Dumbgeons & Dragons. You’ll hear the first episode of Campaign 2, preceded by conversation Evan and Fitz had with Russ More and Kyle Claset about making Dumbgeons & Dragons, actual play chemistry, and what it takes to build a funny, heartfelt show around the table. (It was supposed to be 15 minutes but ended up being... long. Sorry, not sorry cuz it's a fun chat.)Dumbgeons & Dragons is an edited, sound-designed actual play that leans hard into table chemistry, sharp improvisation, and big laughs, while still finding room for real character moments. Campaign 2 launches a brand-new homebrew world with level-zero characters, making this a perfect jumping-on point. If you enjoy actual play that feels warm, chaotic, and effortlessly funny, give it a listen and be sure to follow Dumbgeons & Dragons wherever you get your podcasts.Dumbgeons & Dragons Website: https://www.dumbdragons.com/Check out Campaign 2 wherever you get your podcastsJoin the Mystra's Glen Cryptid Club on Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/budandherbCheck out our Dashery store for Official Bud & Herb merch at https://budandherb.dashery.com/ Follow us on socials:YouTubeInstagramTikTokBlueskyFind and support our sponsors at: fableandfolly.com/partnersSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
