Twenty Sides: A DnD Podcast
Most actual play podcasts ask for four hours. We'll take thirty minutes. Twenty Sides is a fast-paced, story-driven actual play Dungeons & Dragons podcast. No table talk, no rules lookups, no housekeeping — every episode is cut tight and ends somewhere you don't want it to. Expect buried history, bad decisions, and cliffhangers nobody at the table planned.
Every campaign is a complete story with a real ending, and each one stands on its own. So you don't have to start at the beginning of anything — pick a campaign, start at its Episode 1, and you'll be caught up inside a weekend.
Clean language throughout, so it works in the car, at work, or with the kids in the back.
New episodes every Monday.

C3 - Ep33: The Map of the Dead
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The drowned soldiers are finally dead—but the fortress ahead may hold something even worse.
Annabel, Quinn, Miller, and Thelandor continue their brutal first battle beyond the portal, surrounded by undead soldiers capable of draining away their maximum health. Already weakened by the creatures’ attacks, the party must finish the fight before the damage becomes impossible to recover from. ⚔️💀
Annabel strikes with her daggers. Quinn unleashes Eldritch Blasts at close range. Thelandor cuts through the remaining enemies while Miller brings his maul crashing down like a hammer driving a fence post into the earth. At last, all four drowned soldiers fall into the water. But victory brings little relief.
Thelandor’s maximum health has been devastated, and the party remains trapped in an unfamiliar realm illuminated by a strange reddish-purple glow with no visible source. With nowhere else to seek shelter, the adventurers turn toward the ruined fortress looming before them. 🌑🌌
Inside, they discover a horrifying scene. More than forty bodies lie throughout the partially flooded courtyard. Some are skeletal. Others are bloated and waterlogged. None appear to have visible wounds, and there are no insects feeding on the remains. Even more disturbing, strange markings across the floor appear to show military formations—or perhaps the movements of an army. 👁️🩸
Scattered among the dead are several powerful items. Quinn discovers an immovable rod suspended in midair, capable of magically fixing itself in place and supporting thousands of pounds. Miller claims a beautifully crafted magical maul bearing the symbol of Udon. Annabel retrieves a Flame Tongue dagger that erupts with fire during battle. 🔥🔨
Thelandor uncovers something even more important: a map matching the grid markings across the fortress floor. The map shows a large force moving away from their current location and heading deeper into the realm—directly toward the distant darkness.
👑 Crownfall’s portal expedition has only just begun. The party has survived its first battle and found powerful new weapons. Now they know an army passed through this fortress. The only question is what that army was marching toward.
