Roll The Old Bones is a light-hearted Dungeons and Dragons adventure podcast where Duncan (Gen Z, experienced Dungeon Master) teaches Andy (Gen X total newbie) how to play Dungeons & Dragons.
Each week we play a simple one-shot game exploring a scenario in the D&D world. Andy takes on the role of the lead adventurer, exploring different classes of adventurer, while Duncan controls the gameplay and tries to make things challenging.
The play is broken up with comedy skits and sketches including Sidney, the Wandering Monster, Dad Jokes, Items from the Mailbag, and a regular peek into the world of The Dark Lord who has his own roleplaying game, "Bureaucrats & Bosses".
Whether you are a seasoned Dungeons and Dragons Dungeon Master, a casual D&D player, or just a fan of premium improv comedy, sketch comedy, and audio drama absurdism, grab a stool - after checking it's not a Mimic.

Welcome to the fourth episode of Roll The Old Bones, a weekly audio podcast about learning to play Dungeons & Dragons, featuring silly sketches and comic interludes.


In this episode, Duncan leads Andy, a level 2 wizard, through a mysterious dungeon in search of arcane treasures.

Along the way, we catch up with Sidney the Wandering Monster, listen to an advert for Cinder Mattress (the premier provider of orthopaedic bedding for dragons), and peek in on The Dark Lord taking Dogsbody to the vet. Andy also tries on some heavy-duty Dwarven Chainmail sent in by a fan, nearly injuring himself in the process. Meanwhile, The Singing Sword tries once more to impress judge Simon Growel in "Beholder's Got Talons".


We also dive into more D&D gameplay with a Frogger-themed river trap, encounter a pair of skeleton guards in an Undertale-inspired magic maze, and wrap things up with one more carefully crafted, D&D-themed Dad Joke.


Will weedy wizard Andy overcome the Slimes and the Chameleonic boss monster? Will his luck run out and this week’s dad joke fall flat? Grab your d20 and find out!

Welcome to the very first episode of Roll The Old Bones!

This week, clueless D&D newbie dad, Andy, steps into the world of Dungeons & Dragons for the absolute first time, guided by his long-suffering son and Dungeon Master, Duncan.


The quest is simple: locate the legendary Windmill Sword. The execution? Absolute chaos.


After entirely failing a basic stealth check, Andy decides to treat a highly volatile, ancient magical artifact like a modern-day fidget toy. Naturally, this rips open a literal rift in reality, letting us scry on the Dark Lord himself as he desperately tries to summon an ancient Terror of the Underworld.


As an armed goblin horde ambushes our fragile adventurer, we take some breathers to dive into our fictional commercial breaks and mailbags. This week, we drop in on the absolute peak of fantasy entertainment as The Singing Sword auditions in front of the realm's harshest reality TV judge, The Beholder - Simon Growel.


Will Andy survive his first initiative roll? Will a fantasy dad joke cost him his precious hit points? And what exactly is lurking in the Oubliette of Oblivion? Grab your d20 and find out!
