Welcome, adventurers, to this special introductory episode, where you'll get to know the humans (real) and the characters (imaginary) of Imagine Dungeons! We've got a bit of a speed-dating style Q&A in the first half of the episode as Carter, Jordan, Vince, Mariah, Doz, and Gage answer some icebreaker questions.

Then, prepare to enter a fantastical world of imagination as our players are sucked into the Game World and we find our heroes in the most unlikely of places: a non-canon Speed Dating Night at their local tavern. What secrets will be brought to light as a result of their conversation? Will the bartender actually serve anyone the Hi-C they crave? And most importantly, will anyone leave with a date?

Imagine Dungeons is an actual-play Dungeons & Dragons 5e podcast, and our story is enjoyable for everyone, regardless of their experience with D&D! Our story takes place in the world of Eberron, and our DM is Gage Kell. Donyark Ghaash'kalla is played by Carter Willis, Fiddlesticks is played by Jordan Wonders, Ridley Fontina is played by Vince Kelly, Sue is played by Mariah Kelley, and Glintwood Thistlewick is played by Justin Dozier.

Original music by Justin Dozier.

Additional music by Monument Studios.

Lace up your adventuring boots and buckle your swashes! It's a campaign of high-seas adventure and high-stakes D&D as our heroes find themselves captured by the Blood Drunks, a group of pirates with a terrible secret!

If you like stupid jokes, old friends pretending to be goofy-ass characters together, and shockingly heartfelt storytelling, then we sincerely think you will love Imagine Dungeons. The world and characters we've created together have already become such a vibrant and important part of our lives, and we feel pretty confident that they’ll do the same for you!

Tune in August 7 for the special two-episode premiere!
