No Rest at Coldcrest | Episode 1 | Venture Forth: A D&D Podcast | Dungeons and Dragons

Venture Forth: A D&D Podcast is an actual play Dungeons and Dragons podcast. We play 5th edition (5e) Dungeons and Dragons in a homebrew D&D setting. Our campaing takes place in the high fantasy realm of Elbor. A world filled with monsters, heroes and epic tales to be told. In this Episode of Venture Forth: A D&D Podcast:
Welcome to Elbor, a massive continent caught in the midst of a holy war. The reign of the Old Gods has been threatened by newcomers, and the ensuing conflict has begun to tear the tenuous peace between the three major nations asunder. Our story begins in a dreary military camp on the edge of the warfront, where bodies amass and danger is only a hair's breadth away...

The voices and setting are so great! Love this start!!!

Thanks so much! This is our favorite thing to do so I'm glad you like it! - Shane

I just started listening, and this is honestly on par with critical role in my opinion

[@ventureforthdnd]

@@matthewelliott3329 Deeply honored by this. Thank you!

[@COBsomeone22697]

I think one of the biggest failings of D&D podcasts and shows are the audio quality, it's torturous to try and follow along when you can't hear half the players. So glad the audio balancing is on point, and everyone is clear and easily understandable

[@ventureforthdnd]

Thanks! It's a priority of ours! As you progress through the episodes, you'll find the audio quality gets even better! >:D

I hope you enjoy these guys having fun as much as I am, they’re a wonderful group!

I just started watching and honestly... How do you guys not have more recognition?? This show is just so professional in every way! The players are absolutely fantastic, especially Shane! As someone who's played DnD for a while now, I always envy people who are able to stay in character the entire time! Ya'lls DM is also so underrated! I'm looking forward to catching up on this. Keep it up guys!

First time listening to this group and I gotta say, I search for new podcast all the time and I haven't been so excited for an entire series of the first episode in a while. You guys made me feel right at home with how you play and interact, I was clapping alone in my car first that first crit hit from march, i was so excited for you guys!

[@ventureforthdnd]

This is so nice! Glad to have you here!

Summary: Adventurous young men come together to engage in collaborative storytelling while two young women sow chaos and try to establish dominance over the rest of the party.

[@ventureforthdnd]

Glad you feel that way, 'cause there's plenty more!

[@danielfriaspena8715]

To be honest, I did not expect this quality. It is really amazing how well the sound is managed. I was looking for a podcast to listen to while I do some stuff, and it looks like I finally found a great one. I need to thank TikTok for this.

[@ventureforthdnd]

Hey thanks! So glad to hear it. (The quality only goes up from here! 😊)

[@givemedemmemez9322]

Listening to my first dnd podcast before my first time playing it. It all seemed so overwhelming to get into but now i realise it's not that hard. Pretty much just going with the flow

[@ventureforthdnd]

Just tell the DM what you want to do and they'll tell you what to roll. Easy as that! Check out our other video for some fun immersion tips: kzbin.info/www/bejne/maiWkn2watF6hZI

[@ventureforthdnd]

Thank YOU!

[@wizthrift]

Yo that's the same way I do my critical hits! It feels so good when the players get a critical hit. It also hurts a lot when the enemies get a critical hit.

[@ventureforthdnd]

It's always so sad when you roll a nat 20 and then roll a pair of 1s for your damage...

[@wizthrift]

@@ventureforthdnd yeah seriously!! It should be huge!! Are you going to have a table to see what happens if they get hit? Like they have a limp, or something until they rest?

[@NullFX]

Are there any DnD campaigns on KZbin that don’t start Episode One with “A group of ultra high status, everyone is the son of daughter of royalty, and well established warriors”? Literally the most boring fantasy. I started listening to one earlier that was explaining how they just saved the world and everyone loved them. Left lots of room to grow I’m sure.

[@ventureforthdnd]

I'm not sure if you're being satirical or I'm missing something, but most of the DnD campaigns I've interacted with have been about ragtag groups of weirdos, and ours is certainly no exception on that front! Our campaign starts with a character getting fired because he lost his powers. XD Either way, I feel that the fun is in the telling. I bet there's lots of hidden quirks and insecurities that the most famous and well regarded heroes possess! Plenty to explore there. Hope you find something that suits your fancy! -Shane

[@The_Sojourn_Experiment]

hey I like these series, I think it's really fun and more people should find it so I'm going to scream in the comments section to help the algorithm spread this stuff.
