Half-Orc Half-Orchestra is an experiment in story-telling. It is a live-play game of D&D with an original cast of characters and a homebrewed setting. But, the language of the game is inspired by another form: Musical Improv. Where most tables have a DM and a group of rowdy players, this table has a DMMD (Dungeon Master Musical Director) named Jeremy and... well, the group of rowdy players remains the same. With a piano on one side and a DM screen on the other, Jeremy weaves the story in front of his players each night with the use of song and lyric... all of which are made up on the spot.
