📣 Weekly Update from Dungeon Daddy Reese!!

Special thanks to Sina for the stunning new profile picture- picturing myself and my dog, Sonny- which you’ll see across all social platforms except the podcast. It's a huge step forward as we continue refining our brand with original art and community contributions. Remember that we still have other things that need to be replaced, so if you're an artist, please reach out to see how you can make some extra cash!

Apologies for the missing podcast episode this past Monday, I came down with tonsillitis and needed some rest. Thank you for your patience and support 😿

Campaign Highlights:

Vecna: Eve of Ruin (Sunday): The party boarded a pirate ship in pursuit of a scarlet macaw aarakocra captain- only to find themselves among new allies hunting for the co**se of a god drifting through the Astral Sea.

The Wild Beyond the Witchlight (Saturday): Session Zero was a tremendous success! The first full session begins this Saturday at 8pm ET. Only one spot remains- reach out if you'd like to join this whimsical, strange adventure.

Ever Winter (Friday): We're rebooting stronger than ever with Session Zero this Friday at 8pm ET. It's a fresh start, and I couldn’t be more excited to welcome the new players.

Thank you again for being part of this growing community, whether you're a player, listener, or fellow GM. We’re building something magical here!

I love you guys, thanks for playing with me, and please be excellent to each other.

This week I sit down with Pickleslice, the brilliant mind behind two fan-favorite chaos engines: Rixia, the sultry half-drow gunslinger with a pinup strut and a trigger finger from Ever Winter, and Kaios, the pint-sized tiefling cleric/warlock whose chaotic energy is only rivaled by their devotion to mayhem and mysterious powers in Vecna: Eve of Ruin.

We talk:

Chaos vs. control: what it means to embody two wildly different forces

Spell choices, character drama, and their favorite off-script moments

What drives these two icons- and what breaks them

Plus, rapid-fire Q&A, community questions, and plenty of surprises

Whether you’re a fan of infernal trickery or high-caliber charisma, this episode is bursting with flavor (and gunpowder).

This week in our Vecna: Eve of Ruin campaign:

Kaios saw what no one was meant to see: eldritch horrors masquerading as Unseen Servants in the Sanctum baths. Running naked into the greenhouse, he was nearly taken out by a Fey fruit and devoured by vines. The group barely made it out of the plants’ clutches alive.

Kahtic’s 3k bounty caused a stir. Azurion added new spells to his book. Gideon napped like a king. And Kaios snuggled up with a Cyclops named Gertrude.

Tesal, ever the romantic, searched for Sarcelle

Hey guys, I'm Reese! I'm a trans-masc DM of 5 years, and I started out as a player- at least, I attempted to. My very first game was with a group of friends that ultimately fell apart because real life hit our DM hard and fast. I would come to know the Curse of D&D on a personal level over the next....

Hey everyone,

I wanted to extend a personal invitation to anyone who's been thinking about jumping into a new game. I'm getting ready to start a brand-new Wild Beyond the Witchlight campaign, and it's shaping up to be something really special. This story leans into whimsy, emotion, and mystery, perfect for players who love character-driven moments and strange, beautiful worlds.

We'll be using Humblewood as the species core (beastfolk), though that's more a starting point than a hard rule. The game welcomes anyone with a story to tell.

Sessions will run on Saturday nights from 8 PM to midnight Eastern, and it's $10/week. That helps me keep things running smoothly and provide high-quality storytelling and prep. Session Zero is always free- it's important to me that we build trust and safety in the space before jumping in.

We only need two more players to launch, and I'd love to get started this coming Saturday if possible. If this sounds like something you'd enjoy or you just want to talk about whether it's a good fit, feel free to DM me on Discord: DungeonDaddyReese.

Last night’s session of Vecna: Eve of Ruin was nothing short of epic.

The party fought tooth and nail in Web’s Edge, a cultist stronghold deep in the Underdark. After an intense battle, Fernitha, the leader of the outpost, was finally brought down by Matrim’s dead-on Eldritch Blasts. The last surviving cultist tried to bargain for his life, but any hope he had was extinguished… Literally… By what seemed to be an appearance from Lolth herself.

Yeah. That kind of night.

After claiming a fragment of the Rod of Seven Parts, the party returned to the Sanctum of Sigil with their new ally, Gertrude the Cyclops, in tow. But even that wasn’t smooth. Mistaken for an intruder, Gertrude almost got herself into a magical brawl with the Wizards Three before tensions settled. And maybe Kaios is catching feelings? There’s definitely a spark between him and Gertrude... At least on his end.

The group earned a much-needed level-up and finally got to enjoy some downtime, which they desperately needed after nearly dying (and actually dying) in spider-infested darkness.

🎙️ TONIGHT: The First Dungeon Daddy Reese Podcast!

And now… The moment we’ve been waiting for. Our very first podcast episode drops TONIGHT at 8pm Eastern and we’ve got a surprise guest!

He plays Tesal Zapark, a lightning-wielding Deep Gnome and worshipper of Strongmaus, the Giant God. We’ll be diving into:

Tesal’s unique build (artificer/rogue/cleric, anyone?)

That time he died to a Nelfashnee and came back.

His slow-burn romance with the noble wizard Sarcelle.

What it’s like living in a bougie Neverwinter mansion (thank you, forged documents).

Plus YOUR questions, stories, and laughs.

Catch us live tonight on Spotify, or find the full episode afterward on Youtube and all the usual places.

If you love D&D, great storytelling, and chaotic players with even more chaotic hearts, you won’t want to miss it.

I love you guys,
thanks for playing with us,
and please…

💙 Be excellent to each other.
