The Dungeons and Randomness podcast started in 2012 as a way for a group of friends to play Dungeons and Dragons, with all but one of whom were playing for the very first time. Ten years later, four groups, 18 cast members, a 400-page setting book (the second one is on its way!), three successful Kickstarters, and packed live shows at DragonCon, Dungeons and Randomness has grown way beyond its humble roots. The show has been bringing our listeners on an exciting journey, immersing them in the stories of a diverse cast of adventurers, heroes, and villains.

The show has been broken up into Arcs, with each Arc being a good starting point for any new listener (except for Arc I, that one is 200 episodes… you can start there, but we don’t recommend it!). The show explores the world of Theria, a creation of the Game Master, Jason. Theria is a world comprised of six continents filled to bursting with gorgeous scenery, bustling towns, and intrigue. The cast explore the world doing jobs and exploring places that most wouldn't dare to touch. Each action they take or decision they make can forever change the face of Theria.

As the show grew, so did the world of Theria. By the end of Arc 5, four full adventuring parties were roaming the continent, forging their legacies in parallel. But with over a decade of storytelling behind us, we decided it was time to lower the barrier for new listeners and open a new chapter. The current Arc jumps forward more than 100 years into the future, where the continent of Ellara lies frozen and changed—and a single new adventuring group, Group Frostbourne, braves the unknown.

Don’t worry! This change doesn’t mean saying goodbye to your favorite cast members. While Frostbourne now carries the torch in the main feed, our full cast continues to shine in exclusive Patreon content, diving into new and supplemental adventures across the world of Theria. With busy lives and families, this approach allows every cast member to stay part of the journey, while ensuring that the main story moves forward with consistency and heart.

Whether you're brand new to the show or a longtime listener, now is the perfect time to jump in and explore the ever-evolving world of Theria. Adventure is just a play button away.
