This is amazing! I love DnD Actual Plays and I have been listening to my regular podcasts to fall asleep but they aren’t the most soothing listens. This is perfect! As others have said, it’s going to me me a while to get through the story but I love this so much ❤
Thanks so much for listening! If you’re enjoying the podcast we’d really appreciate your thoughts on Ep 1! We’re brand new and eager for feedback ⚔️ (P.S Sorry about the ads, we can’t control where they play until we have 1000 subs and 4000 watch hours!)
My new favorite way to wound down for the night, and my new favorite way to wind up in the morning to catch up on what I missed after falling asleep. I love this so so much 😁😁.
This is a fantastic idea! And I cannot wait to actually listen to it! From the 5min I previewed though, I think I’m going to be super into it! The world, and just overall premise have really grabbed my imagination!
@@TheKingdomSleepsPodIt definitely did!! And tom sounds spot-on to Belmont from the Castlevania show! I always found Belmont's voice soothing so this was even more perfect💙 now you just need a campaign where tom plays a cocky vampire hunter and I can die happy 😂
This might be one of the greatest compliments I've ever received! Thank you! Belmont was actually a huge influence on the characterisation here, so glad you appreciate it. We'll be planning some mini series / one shots to dip into other worlds in the future... so your wish might come true. 😏 - Tom
Andrew has the kind of voice that dreams are made of. Going to take a few attempts to get to the end of this without falling asleep! When can we expect the next episode?!
Congratulations on the start as a fellow GM and avid storyteller I wish you all the best in your journey. Truly novel idea, and might i say with an hint of inspiration from Legend of Zelda? Keep up the good work I'll support you fully in your trek through the dessert along Yohm!
Thanks so much for the wonderful comment and support! You're not wrong, the Zelda series is a huge personal influence of mine, if I captured even a small part of it's essence in this story, I'd be over the moon! - A
.... I was gone in like 10 min lol s🥲😴😴... 😂 I'll try again tonight... 😂 I think it's going to take me awhile to get to the end of the story without falling asleep!
I usually have a hard time listening to dnd podcasts because I can't distinguish the voices. But not so with you guys! I like both of your voices, and I like the story!
Good Knights Sleep and now this. Yes, please! Maybe slow down the pace of speech a little and extend the video a couple of hours with only ambient audio after the dialogue is done? Cheers!
@@XDepthChargeX Mamu was your nickname?? This must be surreal for you to listen to 😅 I chose Mamu as it is the Sumerian word for “dream”. Is that in anyway related to your nickname? - A
@TheKingdomSleepsPod yea it was a lil surreal but i got my nickname by not being able to say shamu right as a kid so instead i said mamu and then after that everyone in my family called me MaMü
Hi there! TKS is set in a homebrew world known as Sopros. Because of this, all the races and classes of the world have been re-flavoured to help shape the story we want to tell! In universe; Yohm is a Merfolk Explorer with no guild affiliation. On his character sheet.... Well, we'll see if you can figure that out as the story continues! - T
@ oooo challenge accepted xD I’m glad you’ve gone that route, I find reflavours and original worlds so much more enticing as supposed to reusing the base dnd stuff again and again
Appreciate you asking. AI has only been used to help create some of the artwork we use in the background of the videos. We've had some art (this video's thumbnail for example) commissioned specifically. As we grow we're hoping to ONLY be using original art from talented creatives!
@TheKingdomSleepsPod thank you for answering honestly, I had a very strong inkling looking at the other videos' thumbnails. I hope you'll be able to grow just so you can support artists instead of using ai poop. I would have loved to listen to your stuff (sounds very relaxing and promising from the little I've listened to) but knowing that ai has been used has soured my enjoyment of it. I genuinely wish you good luck with your creative endeavors!
Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated! It's still early days for us, so please keep on sharing your thoughts. It's only going to get better from here!
@@TheKingdomSleepsPod The mics aren’t bad, but I’d recommend both of you get the same kind of microphone setup, it helps the world immersion if the different voices don’t have different sonic profiles. Everyone likes the industry standard Shure SM7b, but honestly there are a lot of great choices out there these days, including R0de’s NT mics, Earthworks mics are killer for the money, and Warm Audio’s mics are fantastic for the cost. (Warm makes lower cost copies of the expensive German studio mics and such.) For this kind of super mellow material, I wouldn’t necessarily recommend Audio Technica’s low-cost mics, as their low-cost mics tend to have a slightly brighter grainy high end. Ignore this comment if you’re familiar with audio production, but., Check out a tutorial or two for tips and tricks on what kind of audio plugins are good to use for processing/mixing your microphone recordings. I like Izotope Neutron, it’ll analyze your incoming audio and give you a good starting point for sweetening / processing based upon your actual recording. Very helpful. I also really like Kush Audio’s ‘Blyss,’ which is a mastering EQ and compressor, it has a very pretty vintage-analog-sounding saturation feature, which sounds great on voice. You could drop that on your final master for some subtle sweetening, it’s tasty. (I think you can demo it to see if you like it.)
This is a fantasy story, set in an entirely fictional world, inhabited by wholly made up creatures. Listeners can project any allegory they want onto the world, but that has never been the intent. Your politics are yours alone, and you're free to feel however you damn please when listening!
@vrak24 wrong type of diversity. suggest you see what WOTC and Gamesworkshop have been up to so don't try and take the context away from what inwas talking about as you know fine well it's the DEI cancer I was talking about

@@mintotodilethis is such a lame take lol. The content is free ffs you pony up the commission then. In the meantime get fked
Your tones r perfect but u should invest in better mikes to smoothen less dirty sound .

Just started listening. not going any further as D&D has been infected with DEI. Does this have enforced DEI? If so, thumbs down and catch ye
