Welcome everyone! To Monsters and Madness! A dungeons & dragons podcast featuring members and friends of the Hawk & Cleaver Community.

During the dark days of the lockdown, a pleasant chap/dungeon master called Lewis Hay had an idea. An idea so crazy, so breathtakingly wonderful, so ludicrously outrageous, he wasn’t sure if it would even be possible. 

Eventually, he decided that yes, he could drink his coffee with oat milk!

And then, fired up with caffeine and milk replacements he had a second idea... to write and design a Dungeons and Dragons campaign, and to play said campaign with the magic of webcams and microphones, and record said campaign for the entire Hawk & Cleaver podcast community. 

But the idea didn’t stop there. To bring his idea to life, Lewis needed four of the best players possible, four of the most talented role players this side of the Misty Mountains. 

Unfortunately, they were busy, so instead, he found four guys from The Other Stories team. Four chaps who had nary rolled a single dice between them. Four people who might actually be made of cake

Neither dungeon master nor dungeon player knew what they were about to embark upon. So listen in as this party of newbs pester Lewis with ridiculous questions, side-questions, and the occasional dicey manoeuvre. 

Whether you’re a DnD master or a DnD newbie yourself, listen in to episode 1 from the 14th of June! We do hope you'll join us on our first adventure!
