Tale of The Manticore, a Dark Fantasy Dungeons & Dragons Audiodrama
Tale Of The ManticoreTale of the Manticore is a hybrid between a dark fantasy audio drama and a solo D&D RPG. The dice make all the important decisions and, as a writer, my job is to interpret them and tell their story.

- Atmospheric
Original old school mechanics with such detail, depth and delivery. The sound track, voice acting and the amazing storyline all harmonise under the shell of true random dice rolls with a highly experienced storyteller in control. Must listen!

United Statesa month ago - Amazing Old School D&D!
Listening to this podcast feels just like sitting at a gaming table with friends back in 1982. The story is compelling, the characters are fleshed out just enough to care about them, but not so much that it slows down the story.
The narrator has a pleasant voice and the sound effects are just right. The random nature of the encounters remove any plot armor and give it a Game of Thrones feeling of content danger. This is a must listen to any fan of old school fantasy gaming.

I’ve binge listened to the first and second season in their entirety. You do an astounding job bringing all these characters to life. Love when you pause to pull back the curtain and explain your DM side.

Canada3 months ago Truly a must listen for anyone looking for a dramatic, engaging story. Knowing that no character is safe from an untimely demise keeps you on the edge of your seat, makes every success feel earned, and every death a true gut punch.
Whether you are a dm looking to improve your story telling and game management ability, or you have never played a ttrpg, Tale of the Manticore has something for you.
My only complaint is that John doesn't stay chained to his desk releasing a new episode every day. ... more
