I’m able to announce today that I have officially joined the cast of the Dungeons and Dragons campaign podcast Spooky Dice Bag. This is something that has been in the works for a while, but I can finally reveal that I will begin appearing in upcoming episodes of the show.
I last made an appearance as an unrelated character during a masquerade event, but now I am joining as a regular player, which is very exciting!
So, what is the show?
As for the show, here is the official synopsis.
Spooky Dice Bag follows a team of would-be heroes as they begin their journey to the magical school Strixhaven. Join them on their adventures with the world’s most incompetent chaperone as they meet new friends and learn to work together as a team.
Spooky Dice Bag is a gameplay-driven show that follows players in an online, ongoing Dungeons and Dragons game, combining the collaborative storytelling of the game with the chaos of friends joking around on the internet. The show has been running since March 2022 and currently spans 138 episodes.
My first appearance was on Episode 118, “Masquerades and Cherades”, as a cleric named Hiriluk Hogan, who was a little much. It was a wonderful time and I was excited to come back eventually. Thankfully, everyone in the party was down with me joining the show in general, and we’re finally getting the ball rolling.
Who will I be playing?
As for who I am playing you’ve already seen the character posted to the blog. Say hello to Shal Noctis, a Level 9 Open Hand Monk of an ancient Selunite order.
Shal is a wanderer in search of knowledge about an incident in his (ancient) history and also happens to be undead. How is that going to play out in this party of Strixhaven students? And how is he going to complicate the already complicated plans of fomenting a dwarven revolution in the Underdark?
Shal’s introduction to the campaign is sure to turn some heads and introduce a little mystery and conflict within the existing party. It’s going to be very exciting to see how it all plays out from session to session.
My first regular appearance playing Shal should be in episode 139 or 140.
Where can you find the show?
You can follow the podcast wherever you stream podcasts, but just in case, here is an embedded version of the show feed from Spotify showing the latest episode.
I also have some plans related to coverage of the show here on my website, but I’m not quite ready to announce those details just yet. In the meantime, listen to the episode archive of Spooky Dice Bag and keep an eye out for upcoming releases!
