Dissonant Whispers: A DnD Actual Play Podcast
During the Age of Magic, the Signal is Chaos.
The Planar Vanguard set out to investigate portals to other realms, insidious cults, corrupt leaders, and threats from beyond the Prime Material Plane. In a chaotic and deadly Dungeons and Dragons 5e campaign set within a homebrewed Forgotten Realms world of Ephearea, the heroes must decide just how far they are willing to go.
Join this actual play RPG group comprised of Einar, Drax, Drukin, Delphine, Oleander, and Roald as DM Stu endeavors to challenge, confound, and traumatize our players in this biweekly Actual Play D&D podcast of martial prowess and magic.
