If you like bad puns, weird worlds, and/or roleplaying games, this is the podcast for you! Will Mayer, Aimee Mayer, Mike Glass, Sam Housman, Ivelisse Housman, and occasional guest players get together and play D&D in a homebrew campaign created just for the podcast.

D8 Night: an actual play D&D Podcast where our heroes save Volyanaya, one bad decision at a time. Explore a world in turmoil, on the cusp of a new age, and with only our heroes to save it — after completing other important side quests concerning pie espionage, Japanese style game shows, and out of body journeys into one crucial goat’s inner space!

Our heroes are in for a journey that spans the globe of Volyanya; a world of magic, unexplored fey lands, blighted jungles, and fantasy anachronisms from horizon to horizon.

Can they survive battles with monsters, poorly designed traps, thinly veiled pop-culture references, an inordinate amount of corn related magic items, and encounters with hundreds of NPCs who all sound vaguely familiar?

There’s only one way to find out.

    Arcas 10: Scream at the Rocks

    Arcas 10: Scream at the Rocks

    The monks finally reach the prison beneath the labyrinthine kobold dungeon, but will they find the true heir alive? More importantly, when a new threat appears, will they make it out intact themselves?
    Also, stayed tuned at the end of the episode, for a little off-topic Easter Egg as well as some hints about things to come as we near wrapping this arc and prepare for the next.

    Arcas 9: Chains in the Dark

    Arcas 9: Chains in the Dark

    Our monks find ominous ancient remnants of a ritual chamber among the twisting, labyrinthine dungeon. Darkness creeps over their hope of finding the true heir that can save their monastery as they continue to be assailed by kobold traps and other, much older dangers, pushing their resourcefulness to its limits.

    Arcas 8: Double-Crit Gum

    Arcas 8: Double-Crit Gum

    The party continues its descent into what has become a grueling, unforgiving first test for our fledgling party of monks. Will they discover what the Kobolds have done with Danvers or why the little critters are fighting tooth and nail to defend when they are usually so keen to strike and run away? Or will their first sanctioned mission be their last?

    Arcas 7: Death of a Thousand Pats

    Arcas 7: Death of a Thousand Pats

    Our monk party delves into Wysdom’s dig site, which they quickly discover is overtaken by aggressive kobolds and other more dangerous foes.

    Arcas 6: Old as Grudge

    Arcas 6: Old as Grudge

    On their way to covertly supply Guillfore's rebellion, Fable, Shae, Whik, Tobias, and Silhouette are waylaid by uncharacteristically active kobolds along the road to the Stonemark. More than just a harrowing attack, the desperation of the little lizard creatures points to something bigger brewing beneath the surface of Arcas.

    Arcas 5: Tomato Baby

    Arcas 5: Tomato Baby

    A few months after the events of the previous episode, we revisit with Fable, Shea, Whik, and Silhouette as they are tasked with their first mission as graduates of the school of Arcas and Members of the Row. And of course, you can’t have a tomato baby without Tobias … who is … also there!
    Game-Mom’s Note: Our previous 4 episodes were from a one-shot on the Island of Arcas. We later went back and expanded the story because we had so much fun with the characters, so there may be some small incongruencies in continuity with names of NPCs and the like. We also bring them up to level 5 for this part of the adventure!
    Behind the Screens Fun-Fact: Oddly enough, we recorded the “Tomato Crew” arc around the same time we recorded the “Potato Crew arc” based on our scheduling. We also recorded the Specter One-Shot (coming soon) during this same time period.

Great game, great podcast!

If ever a board game was made for a podcast, then DnD has to be it. This podcast is a great use of both media—gaming and podcasting. Full of good storytelling and good fun. It is great to listen to this motley mix. Good way to introduce yourself to rpg’s, too, though experienced players will be there more for the story. Give it a listen—you won’t be disappointed!

A wonderful adventure

D8 Night is a wonderfully charming adventure with very a very fun cast. You always see people talking about high budget podcasts such as Critical Role when it comes to D&D games, but D8 night reminds you that this is game for anyone, and anyone can have fun playing. And that’s exactly what these guys are doing. Just having fun. I would highly recommend checking this podcast out!

Hilarious!

A lot of podcasts are just talking about various topics, or interviews, which is cool and all, but sometimes you want to listen to some people having a great time hanging out. Well, this is it! I keep laughing at the same jokes over and over, no matter how many times I listen to the episodes. You should listen to so you can laugh as well.
