Welcome to Bardic Quest - the show where a group of British trained actors tell fantastical improvised stories through the medium of Dungeons & Dragons.

Unlike many other shows of this TTRPG actual play genre, our “sessions” will be edited into episodes approximately 30-45 minutes in length. In the busy modern world, we appreciate that carving 3-4 hours a week to watch folks play D&D is a lot to ask, and so we hope that these shorter episodes will ease the pressure for those who wish to keep up with the show.
