The Day Has Arrived

The day has come, the board is set, the characters have been created and the beers are in the fridge. At 7 this evening the first session of Dungeons and Flagons will begin and with it many childish antics in game. Unfortunately 2 of our players have come down with a bad case of late-night shift work and illness so we may be subbing in a new player this evening. Nevertheless the game will go ahead! Dice will be rolled! Goblins will be fought (along with a little surprise I've tucked away in at least one of the rooms) and beers will be downed! Let the tomb raiding begin!! (wait, what? That's a different thing altogether? Oh right, my bad.. What will I say then? Dungeon Diving? Is that a thing? Ah we'll just go with it.)

The Adventure Looms..

In 6 days the first session of Dungeons and Flagons begins. The premise is simple, a group of relative strangers and all round newbies get together and attempt to play Dungeons & Dragons for the first time whilst simultaneously getting drunk in the process. Quests will be completed, monsters will be vanquished, mysteries will unfold, alcohol will be consumed in excess and friendships will be formed. We all hope to record the endeavour and release it fortnightly as a podcast to chronicle the experience.

At this point in time the 6 player characters have been created and over time I hope you come to love them for the ragged bunch of adventurers they become as we, the players, come to get to truly know the characters we've dreamt up. Names have yet to be decided upon, something I believe will actually happen in game, but the rest of the details have been set. At this point in time the group consists of a Tiefling Rogue, a Dragonborn Fighter, a Human Wizard, an Elf Archery Ranger, a Dwarven Paladin and a Eladrin Melee Ranger. A motley crew if ever there was one.

I myself will be taking the role of Dungeon Master and while this is my first foray into the role of a game master I have taken to it with gusto and have hopefully crafted a story with enough intrigue to keep you all coming back for more.

Over the next few weeks this page will be updated with characters descriptions, adventure materials and countless other unnecessary add-ons while we edit the raw audio into a more easily digestible form. As each episode goes live I'll add additional features here such as pictures of the maps I've created and the basic story beats if you want to use them for your own games in the future. We'll also have some of the players come on and talk about their experiences in the game, possibly in character, if that's something you'd be interested in.

Needless to say, we hope you enjoy listening to us make utter fools out of ourselves as we try to grasp the games mechanics while inebriated. Now let's go roll some d20's and get this adventure underway!
