Tale of The Manticore, a Dark Fantasy Dungeons & Dragons Audiodrama

Fiction, Games, Leisure

Tale 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. Part fiction, part game, it’s the story where ”Chaos rolls.”
