Role Radio - A 5e Actual Play Dungeons & Dragons Podcast

In this episode, you will receive an electrum's worth of a Season 4 recap. Listen in as the gang reminisces over their adventures. From Ninja assassins and their new apartment to a ruined day off and That Festival. Grab your potion of vengeance and get ready for season 5!

In this epic season finale, our results driven DM goes above and beyond. He really exceeds expectations. He proves his ability to implement innovative strategies that drive his friends and his wife to the brink of death. Good thing he has his resume up to date.

In this episode we learn a lot of things. We learn about the least debilitating of debilitating effects. We learn about what type of guts are Esmir's favorite type of guts. We also learn that there is a difference between praying and just asking a god for a favor. There is also a lot of fire and blood. 

In this episode we meet an evil Red Wizard. More importantly however, we debate the difference between a meat shield and a tank. Query how much more stuff Esmir can put in her bag of holding. And once again, find some loopholes in Jakes code of ethics.

This episode could be a good episode, could be a bad episode. Listening to it may or may not be a 100 percent waste.

In this episode our party delves into ethical topics such as informed consent, consequentialism, and atonement. Many arguments are made and questions unanswered. Like, is stealing always wrong? Is redemption always possible? And, why don't bad guys ever practice tap dancing? Yup, things get pretty deep.

In this episode the party does not encounter red eyes staring at them from the darkness, a three headed hydra, a zombie beholder, or a minotaur. Esmir does get some more apartment shopping in, and there is also a short history lesson about the earliest known writing system used by scribes in ancient Mesopotamia, the Sumerian Cuneiform dating back to 3500BCE………ZZZZZZZZZZZ.

This episode is a sort of hybrid genre piece. It's part supernatural action adventure loaded up with the overused trope of the sexy librarian. It's part docudrama about a mental health disorder that involves being unable to resist the urge to steal. Oh, and there are hints of a really popular fantasy role playing game.

In this, our 100th episode, all is quiet. Esmir helps herself to some more of the Floshin Estate amenities. Jake finds more books that he can't read. Cullen feeds the DM with logic. We also revisit the endless debate over which way doors should open. Yup, all is quiet.

In this Three is Company meets D&D episode, a.k.a. Shenanigans with blood, a lot of stupid stuff happens. Esmir gets pissed off, Cullen gets irritated, and there is a lot of confusion. But on the bright side, there are almost no mayonnaise references… almost.

This episode is pretty much all about mayonnaise. Sure, Jake does come back from being a bird, and there are a lot of zombies and shadows. There are also some uncomfortable innuendos and a cool Ronnie James Dio homage. But really its just about the mayonnaise.

In this episode we learn more about mythological undead corporeal revenants created through the reanimation of corpses, AKA Zombies. For example, everything is edible to zombies, but they do not like to share their recipes. Some zombies are quite well dressed, and you can not defibrillate a zombie. We also learn a great way to get out of a "zombie situation"…it's not what you'd exp...

In this episode we learn the secrets of elven room perfuming techniques, what the other "B" word is, and how Fantasy Grounds really feels about Cullen. We also watch as our intrepid heroes wrestle with a serious moral quandary. Mmmm? Some of them more than others.

In this informative episode we learn about an ancient general named Patton as well as how to properly fold skivvies. We learn that Esmir and her horse can get quite ornery. Jake, once again, learns that he has a bag of holding. We also learn too much about how much weight Cullen can carry. We do NOT learn how to properly tie a Slip Jimmy… Is that even a real knot?

This episode is all about having a good time. It's filled with music, beer, games and prizes. Even though there are assassins after our party, a gruesome murderer is on the loose, and the threat of a siege on the town, it is clearly the perfect time to have a festival. Nothing bad could possibly happen. Support the show and get access to bonus content https://www.patreon.com/roleradio Use this...

In this episode we explore several narrative devices and the clever use of puns. We ponder the socially acceptable amount of times you can invite yourself over to someone's house, as well as good marketing strategies for revamping a religion. Our special guests are Pat Benatar and Travis Bickle, and a little magical elf who makes condiments. Support the show and get access to bonus content htt...

This episode is a little bit murder mystery with a splash of the home shopping network. There is quite a bit of deducing and absolutely no discounts. There are some tips on how to NOT get framed for murder as well as some edgy wizard garb. There is also a theology lesson which my arguably have a tad bit too much innuendo.

In this episode our party continues to NOT enjoy their day off. However we do learn a lot about misty bad guys, like what kind of batteries they run on. We also learn about the advantages of gem incrustations on improvised weapons, and what an electrums worth of skivvies might look like. Oh and there may or may not be a Glen Campbell cover.

In this episode we bring to light some items that may be missing from the handbook. Like a skill that lets you know whose guts a creepy lady in the ethereal plane is holding. A way to shoot a firebolt without setting anything on fire. And a rule for who can decide if you're scared enough to soil yourself. Yup, it's that kind of episode.

In this whodunnit episode we explore the nature of actions and consequences. We discover the difference between Isildur's Bane and homemade drug paraphernalia. We also confirm that the DM is in fact a controlling, manipulative and vengeful overseer…..I mean really, really nice guy.

In this "teachable moment" episode we learn the difference between feeling bad and feeling guilty. We also explore the upside of pissing off the right people, like getting your own festival and having a sizable bounty on your head…. Wait, is that an upside?  

In this travel episode Cullen becomes immortal, kind of. Jake get's a memory enhancer, not really. Esmir spots some underwater ninjas, nope! There is an "Apocalypse Now" moment, they wish. And Father Guido Sarducci makes a cameo appearance. This part is actually true.

In this episode we witness the lore of "Those Guys" in the making. Esmir tries out some new intimidation tactics and may or may not maim someone. Jake makes an unusual suggestion which may or may not involve making out with a rat. And Cullen….. Well lets just say Cullen eats a LOT of pickles.

In this action packed episode our heroes have an unforgettable night at the Sticky Pickle. Jekk runs around in his skivvies, Esmir starts a pickle religion, Cullen takes his boots off for more grip, and Jake, well let’s just say Brian has vowed to never play on a Saturday again.

In this enraging episode, things get a little uncomfortable and then they get a little weird. Then things get a little more weird before tapering off to something somewhat normal right before the sticky encore. Have your lighters ready.
