The Tomb of Annihilation streams are really good. I don't know what possessed them to record the first part of season 2 as a marathon but it's a beautiful mess by hour six.

Also fun is watching the streams on twitch.tv so you can peek at the chat logs and see the D&D nerds get upset that Dave doesn't command enough respect as DM, or that "the music guy" is distracting. Or the honestly insane amount of people who assume they're from New Zealand.

When they talked about Benny Davis going to Singapore, I assumed they meant on holiday or as part of a tour. I didn't realise he actually moved there and wasn't coming back. He's listed as a Dragon Friends member (Season 1-3) on the website. :(

It seems unlikely, but I hope they somehow have another musician to bring on board because the keyboard added so much to this show.

I totally agree, we're gonna miss him. His wife's job's taking her to Singapore so he's following her. We're going to keep inviting musicians to do the show with us however - trying shows with a few while we see if we find someone who's a perfect fit. First up is Ange Lavoipierre, a Sydney comedian and goddamn cellist. She's doing our next live show.

That sounds cool as heck and now I'm more jazzed about season 4 than I already was. You guys put in a good show and I hope you're proud of that.

That was a lot of fun, and the first time I have had no idea about the setting going in. I can't to hear more.

Even with the stream of annihilation stuff, I've missed this podcast a lot.


As a PSA, anyone looking for another two dudes talk about stuff podcast might want to check out Free to a Good Home, Ben and Hing's podcast about classified ads. It's pretty consistently funny, and I think every Dragon Friend cast-mate and guest apart from Edan Lacey has been on. It has about the same levels of Jurassic Park talk and Simpsons references as Dragon Friends, and Alex Lee's been on it about fifteen times. The last episode released as of this post was actually guested by the current musical accompanist, and she's great. Its a good time.

Only tangentially related, but please take a look at Tom Walker's and Demi Lardner's hard R comedy podcast 'BigSoftTitty.png' that they plugged at the end of the last episode. It may be one of the funniest things I've ever heard.

I was nodding off at the end of the last ep and I loving absolutely thought I dreamed that plug.

He's part of a series of improv studies based around pushing Ben Jenkins to the limit, along with my other favourites "Bobby Pancakes nicknames" and "What costumes do you have?"

Ben only knowing five voices is the best. Laughing right now just at the thought of Dave asking for something refined and menacing, only for Ben to launch into his Droopy voice.

Its also what's responsible for the now established canon that everyone from Baldur's Gate sounds South African.

None of those videos work.

They seem fine from here, but in case they're still not working:

Episode 0 - Filmed live at the D&D Stream of Annihilation event in Seattle.
Playlist - The remainder of the episodes, filmed above a pub in Australia somewhere. Includes some intermediate Q&A sessions.

Oh yeah, looks like the VODs have started being deleted. I didn't think Twitch did that for big channels like the D&D one.
They're in that youtube playlist still, at least.

Michael Hing is a pro-gamer and initially treats D&D like he's trying to win it. He tries to rules lawyer here and there, but its still pretty funny. You can actually pinpoint the exact session after he reads the players handbook if you pay attention.

If the kill Threep is talking about is wishing to Dave to kill the NPC from the historical society, and succeeding on the very unlikely roll to do so, then I agree it was amazing.

Actually, the paladin of Tyr is very good too. Goddamn, he has some amazing moments in those streams.

Also, Alice Snedden, the guest on this week's FTAGH, is also on a D&D live show podcast called Waterdeep Mountain High. It's a fair bit less rowdy than Dragon Friends, but actually matches the energy of TAZ live shows pretty well.

I'm only on episode one (of four) and I just want to confirm this is a fun D&D podcast.

And not just because the one guy starts singing Into The Woods to an uncaring audience.

I don't think I disagree, but remember Tom Walker's friends chipped in to buy him a fleshlight, engraved with his name (and address?) and had it delivered to his parents house so he could open it for his birthday.

DF and related podcasts make it feel like every Australian comedian except Wil Anderson went to the same uni at the same time.

And maybe Adam Hills, but he's mostly UK based these days so we'll never know.
