    The Dunshelm Players Present "Yes, Dungeon Master"

    A new Dungeon Master has been elected to the border keep of Dunshelm, and he has a very profound item on his starting agenda; reform. He plans to streamline the way that the castle is run. In particular, he wants to reduce the size of its staff and payroll budget. However, it does not take him long to discover that his agenda will face a lot of opposition from within the castle itself, and that includes opposition from officials who are well-placed to scupper his ideas.

    Christmas Special 2025 - The Dunshelm Players Present "All Must Surely Be An Illusion"

    We couldn’t resist it forever. It’s been 9 years, hard to believe, but the Dunshelm Players are finally back in action. A completely new, standalone project with no links to any previous work, All must surely be an illusion is essentially a parody of modern society, with a warning about the degree of danger posed by modern computer imagery, as compared with the more basic type Knightmare itself used back in the 1990s. It features debuts for Jason Karl (who was a dungeoneer in season 2, and later went on to a career as a television presenter), Kim Stewart-Crossley of the Temporal Discussion podcast, Kim Harder (wife of Martin H), Laura Bean, Scott Evans (a dungeoneer in season 3 of Knightmare), and Rea Pearson (a team advisor in season 5). As ever, the play is not set at Christmas, includes no reference to Christmas whatsoever, and is entirely unrelated to Christmas, and so it will be available to listen to during the Christmas period 2025, as yet another non-festive festive offering. Nice to bring back an old tradition. Cast Jason Karl as Treguard Andy Marshall as Carl Kim Stewart-Crossley as Emma Amy Davies as Amy Martin Harder as Tony Kim Harder as Council Caller Ross Thompson as Hugh Martin Odoni as Neddy Laura Bean as Milly Jake Collins as Alec and Inspector Jim Boyle Scott Evans as Policeman Rosey Collins as Bank Teller Rea Pearson as Sergeant Theodora Written and edited by Martin Odoni Intro music: Colossus - by Kevin MacLeod Outro music: Unpromised - by Kevin MacLeod Visit our ⁠⁠⁠Website ⁠⁠⁠ Check out our socials: ⁠Bluesky⁠   ⁠Twitter/X⁠   ⁠Mastodon⁠   ⁠Facebook⁠   ⁠Instagram⁠   ⁠Threads⁠ Check out our ⁠⁠⁠Redbubble Store⁠⁠⁠ Download our Corridor of the Catacombs and Bomb Room jingles as ringtones from ⁠⁠⁠Zedge⁠⁠⁠ Jake's stuff: ⁠The Eye Shield fanzine⁠ ⁠The Olden Days podcast⁠ ⁠Jake's Audio Commentaries⁠ ⁠Knightmare: The Lost Series (original cut)⁠
