[characters playing a horror D&D oneshot, including:][spooky themes and atmosphere throughout][references to spirits, violence, deaths][characters ‘in game’ being knocked unconscious by supernatural means][sudden loud noises][implied danger to children][characters in danger both knowingly and unknowingly]

This render turned into a nightmare, but hopefully it’s worth the wait. I’m so excited to share this one with you guys! I’ve been trying to figure out for weeks now how to handle the straight up logistics of writing this for an audio-only format while still trying to convey that for the characters, they’re also really ‘in it’, rather than it just being a traditional actual play. In theory, that should mean the characters and DM wouldn’t really have to explain their movements/actions/etc, but then that would kind of break the audio-only nature of it, so I landed at something of a compromise, leaning more toward the dictation style of an actual play within the writing itself. Ultimately I’m really happy with how that turned out.

I really debated for a long while if I was actually going to try to make videos of the D.A.M.N. crew’s game. I’d talked myself out of it a few times, because it seemed like such an undertaking and really complicated to deliver on, but I thought up a hook for it that I was really excited to write, and these last two months of audios before it that I’ve written without worrying about Youtube’s crazy rules took such a weight off and truly reignited my love for making things again, so I had to jump at it for Halloween month.

Also, fun fact, for a lot of this I actually rolled dice for the characters while I was scripting and let those rolls inform how I wrote parts of it! That was a lot of fun, and only slightly anxiety-inducing for my typically control-freak writing style XD

This little arc is a nod to my love of D&D, Curse of Strahd (as a starting point, though this diverges from it pretty heavily), spooky stuff, the Neverafter season of Dimension 20 (my favorite one they’ve made), and even the holodeck episodes of Star Trek. And of course, the D.A.M.N. crew. I’m excited to take them on another adventure. It’s been a while since they had the spotlight. Hope you enjoy!

I never considered demons not having internal organs means they also don’t have brains and now I’m fighting the urge to dig out my CogSci notebook at 1AM lol

CloudySun

Eeeeeeeeeee! Im so excited! Also learning more about how demons work? 🤩

Sage

"they got together and locked it in the basement" Well that sounds familiar 😅 (This is so incredible, I've haven't been so locked in to something in so long, was not expecting it to go this way but I'm psyched/ just a touch concerned for the crew)

Publiclynerdy

Erik so good I’m freakin out for the gang! More immersed than I’ve ever been in a movie and this is just audio!?

CloudySun

hazel

ChaosDoodle

I LOVE THIS BUT I’M SUCH AN IDIOT. I thought “Dear’s” icon was Kody until I saw it light up with no sound and was like OOOHH but yeah I love DND and this storyline and the storytelling and voice acting is so good 😂❤️

Alex Hamilton

I am already having the best time!! This is such amazing work and it's so fun!! I'm so happy! You are a talented man and I can't wait to see how this goes. I knew I was gonna love Lasko and Hux's characters but boy did you knock it out of the park with those guys and that first Guidence bit had me CACKLING

Shae D'Amora

This is SO cool!!! I don’t know much about D&D, but I’m already invested as fuck. I love hearing the goofier sides of Lasko and Hux and their little character voices 😂 And the visual and sound effects make it so much more immersive!! …It’s also sounding like wayyyy more than just a game going on 👀 I should’ve known to expect new lore and emotional depth after loving this channel for years, but somehow it still caught me by surprise. lmao Whether it’s something bigger at play or just a chance to explore everyone’s subconscious thoughts and feelings, it’s cool as fuck and I’m super excited to hear the rest. It also makes me so happy to know that it made YOU happy! I’d been wondering if we’d ever see this play out since Elliott mentioned it. I’m glad that the excitement and creativity were reignited and that you ended up with something you’re proud of. This absolutely sounds like it was worth the wait 💜💜💜

mii

Georgia smith

skitty

The parallels to the real world are SO COOL, the Sovereigns & Meridian and Gavin’s relationship with his demon hood :000 obsessed obsessed obsessed
