S1E1 - Wake Up, Get Up, Get Out There

Thu, 03 Apr 2025 10:01:26 GMT

Stephen Hark, played by JT Embley, begins our adventure with a rude awakening in a coffin- not entirely surprising considering that his last memory before the coffin was of dying in a pit while exploring a dungeon. What does surprise him is the world he emerges into- an island of refugees with grafted animal heads that are the victims of experimentation by a criminal known as Dr. Frankenfurter.

It's a family affair because among the items Stephen has been buried with he has a letter addressed to him by the good Doctor's son, the Marvelous Professor Frankenfurter, indicating that Stephen should journey east in a world completely unknown to him.

Content Warning: DnD Versus deals with mature themes of death, violence, and fantasy horror, this show is intended for mature audiences and listener discretion is advised.
