    from the into music, to the content, to the hosts, SpelkBurrrrrrn is awesome.

    Topics are expertly covered in a fashion that doesn’t leave noobs out, nor alienate old grognurds.

    This podcast maintains my fervent fantastic fandom frenzy doting downtime. Tune in, turn in and flip out.

  • Critical Success!

    I came to DCC in 2018 around the same time I came back to TTRPGs and I’ve found my spiritual gaming home. The podcast is a perfect supplement to actual play and enhances how I run and play games. Guest creators and judges’ insights are always appreciated also!
