Dark Dice takes the time to edit out the less interesting parts out and everyone playing stays on track and in character. The characters have intimate moments where their past is shared with other characters or heart felt moments between characters. You really get attached to the characters!

It would be fun to see them play the campaign, the crooked moon

I got tingles in the first episode

I listened to season two and a bit of season three and overall it is a good podcast. if you have other podcasts that you listen to like a billion times, this will at least give you 3 seasons to listen to if you don’t know what to listen to also this is basically dnd but a podcast also your really gonna fast forward it in the beginning because it has like 10 minutes of ads in the beginning

If you’re a fan of Dungeons & Dragons—or even just tabletop RPGs in general—this podcast is an absolute gem. From the moment you press play, you’re welcomed into an immersive world filled with incredible storytelling, dynamic characters, and high-energy gameplay. Whether you're a seasoned Dungeon Master or a newbie adventurer, there’s something here for everyone. The hosts have an undeniable chemistry, making each episode feel like a conversation between old friends. Their improv skills are top-notch, and the narrative they build is as unpredictable as it is compelling. It's clear they love what they do, and that enthusiasm is contagious! Each episode is an exciting ride, filled with tense moments, and sanity challenging story arcs. If you’re looking for something that’ll make you want to roll your own dice, look no further. Highly recommended for anyone who’s looking to escape into the world of horror and adventure.

I had a lot of fun listening to this, especially the D&D seasons, though the season 4 was also great. The voice acting was top-notch, really brought the story to life.

I love Jeff

It is worth staying up late to be there right when the episode releases

Mattresses

Dark Dice is fabulous, inspiring (for my own games), chilling, gritty, beautiful, thoughtful, heartwrenching, fun fun fun - unfortunately, their favorite plot twist is taking a hiatus. So, it’s hard to get all wrapped up in a narrative when they’re probably going to “take a pause” within a few eps and leave you hanging. I get the complexities and pressures of life and producing something this beautiful - and I don’t fault them at all. But a fair warning to potential listeners. You may get totally enthralled with this show, and then lose them.

Voice actors and story of 1&2 are awesome! Season 3 ok but Viviana character is super annoying and the other characters say um an awful lot. Sorry I had to stop listening:(

Don’t see what pride has to do with a made up podcast! Let alone ask what’s your pronouns! Total garbage. Thanks for saving me money. Canceled all my subscriptions to this junk.

I listened to The Long Road backwards (season two first with the exception of the recovery episode) cus I like nonlinear storytelling and a heavy dash of mystery….and I was excited to hear Jeff

This is an awesome D+D podcast! I’ve been a player for at least 20 years! The DMs are fantastic and I can picture everything from the detailed descriptions! Also Peter Lewis is my favorite voice actor btw. Also the white vault chef's kiss fantastic!! Keep up the amazing work!!

I never played dungeons and dragons, but I tried this podcast while patiently waiting for the next White Vault story. I didn’t know what to expect, but I really got pulled into the story! So fun to hear the Svalbard team on a different adventure!

Jeff goldblum just kinda ruins any fantasy type environment in my opinion. He should stick to Hollywood and let someone else have a chance at voice acting who can even remotely sound interested. He sounds likes he bored and would rather be on screen. Thus ruining my whole mental image. Go home jeff goldblum. Or roll a zero and die or whatever. Stab him with a cursed dagger and get back to good story and acting.

Congratulations on the great show. Love all the shows you’ve made. Congratulations on all that you accomplished!

I’m a subscriber to various ttrpg channels. As a gamer I personally love hearing the nuts and bolts of the game. That said, your story, characters and world are fantastic. Just what the 13 & 30 year old in me wants to hear. In terms of gaming podcasts, DD is right up there with the big boys. More Dark Dice-Please. I can see him…

This is such a scary, crazy, cool adventure. Love the horror, writing, and production and DND aspects.

I’ve been listening to D&D podcasts for a few years and this has got to be the best! So many others have poor audio, people who don’t know how to play, and DMs who keep it so light there is never a feeling of consequences. This one has it all. Great voice acting, awesome production and foley work, story arc and narration are superb with a bit of humor thrown in. WOW! I’m only on the 8th episode. Top notch. 😃

Dark Dice is by far my favorite show to date. It is beyond addicting, once you start you won’t want to stop! With it’s twist and turns it’ll have you second guessing your own sanity!

I’m so intrigued on this journey, so many surprises around every corner. I feel the story teller (dm) said let’s do a survival of the fittest. Lol My only complaint is that the background noise can be so loud during the action, that it drowns out the story teller. At times I’m left feeling lost and it’s this way for 10-20 minutes. I listen to the recap for the next episode to try to explain what happened.

I love this podcast! LOVE IT! It takes me back to my youth and playing D&D with my friends. Of course it would if all my friends were insanely talented voice over artists. Wonderful story, production, and music. If you don’t know D&D they explain it so well! Bless you Father Sindri Westpike for your interventions when I started to get lost; asking for clarification! I feel like these folks are my friends now from the wonderful personality they put into the show. Do yourself a favor and listen. You will get hooked. Oh and … Do you seek him?

Could not ask for more this show is a very unique blend of real play and what almost feels like an audio drama, filled with awesome sound effects and amazing voice actors, I’m always thrilled to hear the next episode.

As an avid D&D fan I love listening to this podcast. It’s explains a lot and the story is terrific. The voice actors/players are hilarious and the sound effects are great for the podcast. I would definitely suggest this podcast to anyone who is interested in playing D&D.

There are a few things I really like: good production quality, good acting, and I love the blend of tabletop activity & post-scripted narration. I wish I were more of a straight horror fan, however, which is likely who the show is truly aimed at. So it ends up a little blah for me sometimes, a little too much horror/gore, but it’s a mostly satisfying podcast.

Season one was fantastic! Loved it and recommended to all my friends. Season 2 has been pure disappointment. Not even the involvement of JeffGoldblum Can help the show. And the last episode with the ridiculous in-story advertising for a mattress was the final straw for this former fan.

I never played D&D in my childhood. That being said, I’ve listened to seasons 1 & 2 three times each now. You guys are doing something remarkable imo at least. The musical score, the story & banter. I litcannot get enough and I’m starting to very much so, want to try D&D or tabletop games after hearing this. Soren is too good. Thanks-

Interesting and has its humor. “Sure, I’ll help you find the missing children,” Then she cackles menacingly. “ yeah-good times.” More from the drow voice actor, please, that dudes hella funny. I hearthishow , thank you story tellers.

Travis is amazing! Such an amazing story and an incredible amount of energy. I love the players and dedication to a fully immersive story. We’ll done Fool & Scholar! Next stop is White Vault.

One of my favorite shows and I have relistened to quite a few things and love all of there other works.

I enjoy Critical Role, but was looking for a replacement show while CR was on hiatus. I stumbled up Dark Dice and I have to say, it’s much more than a CR replacement. The Role Play is emphasized by dropping the die rolls and rules minutia to the wayside (it’s still done but only to tell you why certain RP is happening), this makes the whole show play out more as a well done audio drama rather than an actual-play. There’s plenty for D&d newcomers, veterans, or even non-d&d players who enjoy Fantasy Horror, all will find something to enjoy. As a long time DM myself, I particularly enjoy when the games DM comments on the game out of nowhere. Always gives me a good laugh. Please, keep making this show, it’s incredibly well done.

Incredible voice acting, atmospheric music, story driven play, and talented Dungeon Master. Take my money! The fact that this is a horror podcast only makes better.

I discovered Fool and Scholar first with The White Vault. Upon discovering Dark Dice though I fell in love with theirs style. I love how they use sound effects to add to the story and I’ve become invested in the story. I can’t wait for more in the Dark Dice universe.

Haven’t found him yet though

When I heard Jeff Goldblum was going to be on a D&D podcast, I thought this was going to be a wonderful creation of my favorite things. However, while Goldblum is as radiant and brilliant as ever, he cannot save this podcast. If you are here for a fantasy story over acted with distracting sound effect and music that overshadows the voices, then maybe this is for you. If you are someone like me who listens to several other D&D play through podcasts, I’ll tell you this is not like any of the others. I don’t like that I have no idea how this story is coming to be. Was any of this because of certain rolls? I’ll never know. It’s as if they used the game to write a story, and then are just giving us the story after. The game is hardly in sight. No funny banter. I don’t feel apart of this. And even the story is lackluster and I strain to hear the voices. Everyone uses “an actor voice” and not something as immersive as I think they intended. To say I’m disappointed and dissatisfied is an understatement. I really do not know why Goldblum joined this podcast. If this is for his “World According to” show and he is doing an episode on D&D, I’m really disappointed he picked this show. I would have rather he was on a show like The Adventure Zone or NADDPOD. Heck would have even been hilarious for him to try out Dungeons and Daddies. This. This isn’t D&D for me. This is just an awful audio fantasy.

My only complaint is that I have to wait for new episodes! Great job!

I love this podcast! If you love this podcast too check out Liberty Vigilance! Thank you for all of your hard work!

Epic actual play that combines the best of DnD and Call of Cthulhu gaming systems. It’s interesting to finally have a DnD podcast that isn’t afraid to get dark. Great voice acting, great storytelling, just overall great.

Such fun to listen to- an engrossing story with phenomenal production values and a great, endearing cast. The soundtrack - with 40 person choir?!? - is astonishing but what really made this for me was the perfect balance of an engrossing (and frankly sometimes gross) horror story and a live-play format that let the players’ humor and charm shine through.

Just wrapped up season One and WOW! A terrific mix of story, game mechanics, and atmosphere. Really looking forward to season two…and now I REALLY know what to do with Grey Ooze…

Listened to the first season in 3 days. It's amazing:)

Season 1 was fun binge listening. Seems I got through it all in time to catch Goldblum’s first episode on release day! As much as I thought season 1 was good (4/5), the new style for season 2 is way more too my liking! Specifically the inclusion of more of the actual game during combat which is tremendously fun, funny and descriptive. (And amazing to hear Goldblum rolling dice and casting spells!). This side is what I missed in season 1 and what made the story a bit harder for me to follow (though I loved the arc and themes! I was playing Darkest Dungeon too, so lots of ideas to maybe bring into my own D&D games in future!) Loving the explosion in awesome creator-driven D&D content!

JK!!!! Love the pod, keep it up. I love your storytelling and the voice acting is PERFECT. LOVE it it brings back memories of playing RPGs at my local game store with my father and being almost 10 when I first started coming along. Being the youngest person there. Wondering what all these guys and gals were talking about. Of COURSE I was a Orc with the biggest axe possible. lol. But anywayssss, keep it up love the pod.

Finally found a TTRPG podcast that can hold my interest at the standards of Glass Cannon Network and Hero Club! Loving the work these guys put into the game.

It’s so cute

This show is absolutely incredible! I have shown this to my any friend I can. It is both a great story and an amazing cast! Keep up the great work!

This Podcast is absolutely incredible. I am on episode 7 and have showed this podcast to all of my friends that will listen. I am so excited to keep listening and I can’t wait to see what happens. If anyone is questioning whether to give this podcast a listen. Stop reading reviews and start this podcast ASAP.

Please add some new materials that aren’t updates

I can’t believe I haven’t written a review yet. Amazing story, phenomenal production value, great voice acting, and fantastic immersion. This podcast is the standard I hold other fiction podcasts to. I really enjoy that there is not a ton of table talk, it makes it that much more immersive! The other podcasts Fool and Scholar produce (the White Vault) are also phenomenal. I have been listening for years now, and I only want more!
