Dark Dice
{
Dark Dice is a horror-dark fantasy actual play podcast created by the husband and wife duo of Travis Vengroff and K. A. Statz and produced by Fool & Scholar Productions. It is set in an original medieval fantasy setting created by Vengroff and follows characters trying to overcome an evil shapeshifting being known as the Nameless God. Vengroff acts as gamemaster, joined by Statz as co-gamemaster in season 3.
Dark Dice emphasizes the potential deaths of all player characters, and the potential losses of their sanities, which affect their perceptions of the world; a player whose character dies does not get a new character, and instead leaves the show. The first season and campaign, Domain of the Nameless God, premiered on September 25, 2018, and concluded on January 14, 2021. The second season, a direct continuation called The Long Road and divided into dual campaigns, premiered on February 26, 2021 and is currently ongoing after a hiatus, during which the third season and fourth campaign, Shores of the Silver Thrum, was released.
The series features immersive sound design and original music, with all non-player character (NPC) dialogue being re-dubbed by voice actors during post-production. The show is fan-funded; it was originally released on a monthly basis before switching to a bi-monthly basis for season 3. The podcast was originally based on the 5th edition rules of Dungeons & Dragons, although references to Dungeons & Dragons were later removed from the podcast for legal reasons, while the crew switched to using their own tabletop role-playing game, Domain of the Nameless God.
