Dungeon Dads – Details, episodes & analysis

Jonas (John), Filnyr (Tim), and Abel (Sam) sign up -- for various reasons -- to be new recruits in the army of King Robert Hark. They each come in with different expectations, but it's safe to say that no one is getting what they signed up for. When the spears are raised and the arrows fly, will they learn to work together to survive, or will this be the shortest podcast series ever recorded? Find out in the first episode of Dungeon Dads!

Origin episode for Filnyr Omajyre. These prologue episodes, recorded before episode 1, are individual adventures with each of the party members that give some additional background and detail as to how they ended up at Fort H'Passe. This week it's a home invasion thriller as Filnyr greets unexpected visitors at the Neverwinter consulate. Will his natural diplomacy be enough to defuse the situation, or will he have to turn to powers that are more mysterious, more dangerous, more... foreign?

It’s chaos as Ionus and Filnyr bend space and time to recover lost knowledge. But some memories may not be worth the trouble in this episode that Thom says is definitely not 89.
