Actual Play
Dark Dice is the horror actual-play Dungeons & Dragons podcast that uses immersive soundscapes and intense editing to create added layers of immersion. Each season, travelers embark on a journey into the dark corners of a world brimming with dragons, monsters, and dark gods. They will never be the same again. Campaigns Domain of the Nameless God A rescue team ventures into the Dead Pines to find the missing children of Ilmater's Hope. Instead, a shapeshifting monster known as “The Silent One” infiltrates the party, impersonating those it kills. Can the team find the missing children before they are sacrificed in a dark ritual, or will the world be consumed by the sinister Nameless God? Shores of the Silver Thrum Eight strangers board a cargo ship bound for the Northrealm. Divergent quests, monsters, and cursed cargo quickly become the least of their worries as they reach the Sunken Bulwark and prepare for the ominous Ritual of Last Light at the infamous Sunken Temple… As waters rise, and foul weather approaches, they find themselves irresistibly drawn toward the source of a terrible sound. Fear the strangers in your midst. Never play games with fate. Links darkdice.com - Official website youtube.com - Youtube playlist spotify.com - Spotify feed patreon.com - Patreon page

Lore Warden

Lore Warden is a battle chronicle tool for tabletop wargamers. After a game, players record the essentials: who fought, the forces involved, the score, which units were destroyed and the MVP.Lore Warden writes the engagement up as a piece of prose they can keep, share, and have read aloud. It is deliberately system-agnostic. Faction and unit names are free text and are echoed back exactly as they were typed, so it serves 40k, Age of Sigmar, Necromunda, Mordheim, historicals, BattleTech or a homebrewed ruleset equally. Army lists can be pasted in whole and unit names are picked out automatically, and added/edited manually. There are three ways to use it. A single battle produces one self-contained tale. A tournament tracks rounds, wins, draws, losses and total points, with Swiss pairings and a recap for each round. An eternal war is an ongoing group campaign, where forces evolve over months, eras are marked, retired armies are given a final entry and honours ledger, and the whole thing can be brought to a close with a finale when the group wants an ending. What separates it from pasting a game into a general chatbot is continuity. Lore Warden holds each commander's force and everything that has already happened to it, so a campaign reads as one narrative rather than a series of unconnected write-ups, and it does not invent units that were never on the table. Commanders who would rather write their own account can do that instead and still have it recited. Opponents do not need accounts. A battle can be shared by code or QR for the other player to attach their force, or entered on their behalf as a guest, and every finished tale gets a public page that anyone can read or listen to without signing up.  Written tales are free, thirty of them, for the lifetime of the account, along with one spoken recital. A subscription lifts the written cap and adds a monthly allowance of spoken recitals.
