Dice Funk

## Description

Dice Funk is a weekly podcast featuring a group of cast members playing Dungeons & Dragons fifth edition campaigns. The show is tagged "comedy" in most sources, though it typically also contains quite a lot of drama and action as well. There are also several single session games using alternate tabletop role-play systems to D&D, which are scattered through the show's history.

###### TVTropes Description

> Dice Funk is a Dungeons & Dragons podcast that spun off of Word Funk. It is equal parts audio drama and improv comedy, with most of the players being professional film or video game critics. While nominally operating on 5th Edition rules, the focus is much more on characterization and storytelling. The show is split into distinct "Seasons," each featuring a new storyline, players, and characters.

## General Facts

Dice Funk is currently hosted by Austin Yorski. The first episode aired on September 8, 2015.

Dice Funk can be found on Austin Yorski's Patreon page, ITunes and Podbean.

Austin has run the majority of the seasons, and the odd one-shot episode.

Main series episodes are typically between one and two hours of listening time. Previous to June 2020, episodes end with the credits, which is included in the episode time.

## Structure

Each campaign is presented as a separate season, in anthology style. While there are links between each season relating to the mythos, they are designed to be consumable independent of one another. Seasons are typically 38 episodes and feature a varying cast.

At the end of each season there is a Post-Mortem episode where the players and DM try and resolve questions about the campaign, how things could have gone differently, and what each player wanted to contribute.

Besides the main seasons there have been a number of one-shot episodes which tell a self contained story. These episodes allow for the opportunity to tell shorter stories which would not work for an entire main season. Austin is rarely the GM for one-shot episodes. Guns, Puns, n' Justice ran for 4 episodes and is currently the only "miniseries". Shardpoint Academy is a series of one-shots that are set in the same location, occurring in chronological order in the same time frame, but plots are unrelated, in true one-shot fashion.

For a time the names of patreon supporters were said at the end of each episode, until they got so long they had to be made into their own individual episodes, which come out monthly. Credit episodes consist of banter between hosts while reading off supporter names, which are also often jokes, references, or even responses to the previous month's credit episode.
