The Astral Sea
Greetings, Mortals!
Welcome to the FIRST EPISODE of campaign 5.5, our mini campaign! Picking up where we left off with Phaelan in campaign 5 after the hammer had fallen, he must now figure out how to truly forge a new age of kindness and literally bring the world back together while roaming wild space and the astral sea. What does "forging a new age" really mean for Phaelan? And who will help him (and who might hurt him) along the way?
Break the Dice is an improvised podcast in the style of a classic D&D adventure.

The Spear of Filth
Greetings, Mortals!
Our heroes Phaelan and Phinaeus have one final stop on their mission to bring Spring back to the Land of Roving Ice Sheets: raising a giant sunken ship from the frozen depths. But as Phalen descends far below the icy water to retrieve it, Phinaeus is paid a visit by the sinister Frost spirit who has a...very...enticing offer.

Customer Reviews
Deer God
I have listened since the very first episode aired, and I've not had a podcast make me laugh quite so hard so often before!
Another great improv to add to your favorites
Recently started listening to the podcast and I’m going through the back log first. So far it’s been great! The improvisers are very expressive and have great voices, plus they have good chemistry with one another. Improv podcasts are my favorite, and, since some of my favorites are either over or on their last season, I was happy to find another that is still going strong. Looking forward to listening to the rest. (The first campaign’s weird Uncle-Brother scenario and the improvisers’ reaction to it was hilarious!)
My new favorite D&D Podcast
I listened to the whole first season at work yesterday. Two of my favorite podcasts are The Adventure Zone, which is a d&d actual play show, but I think BTD fixes a lot of the pacing issues of actual play, and Mission to Zyxx, which I believe is the new York UCB, and I think their production is on par with that. Actually structurally I think BTD works better because of the dice rolling element. The fact they have been doing this so long shows, there's none of the wobbliness most shows like this have while they're finding their feet.
