Stronghold is about Dungeons and Dragons, friends, captivating storytelling, and one man’s obsession with his kitten. We love D&D and we think it should be shared with everyone as a medium for friends to get together and have fun.

    The Stronghold podcast is a delightful and entertaining show that takes listeners on an adventurous journey through the world of Dungeons and Dragons. From the very first episode, it captivates listeners with its incredible storytelling and hilarious moments that never fail to bring a smile or a laugh. Even for those who are not familiar with D&D, the podcast is still thoroughly enjoyable and serves as a beautiful escape from the monotony of everyday life. It's a truly immersive experience that leaves you wanting more, and it may even inspire you to embark on your own adventure.

    One of the best aspects of The Stronghold podcast is its incredibly detailed storytelling. The Dungeon Master has clearly put in a lot of effort and thought into creating a well-developed campaign and world. The narration from both the DM and the players themselves is top-notch, with each character having their own distinct personality, motives, and voice. It's easy to get lost in the rich lore of the story and feel like you're right there alongside the characters.

    Furthermore, what sets this podcast apart is its ability to keep listeners engaged and entertained throughout each episode. The DM does an excellent job of keeping the audience on their toes by introducing unexpected twists and turns, ensuring that there's never a dull moment. The humor in the show is also a standout feature, with plenty of jokes that will have you laughing out loud. The camaraderie among the players is evident, making it all the more enjoyable to listen to.

    While there may not be many negative aspects to mention about The Stronghold podcast, some listeners might find that it assumes prior knowledge of D&D mechanics or terminology at certain points. However, this doesn't detract significantly from the overall enjoyment of the show.

    In conclusion, The Stronghold podcast is an absolute gem for anyone seeking an engaging and entertaining escape into the world of Dungeons and Dragons. Whether you're a seasoned player or someone who's never played before, this podcast is well worth your time. The storytelling, humor, and camaraderie of the players make it an absolute joy to listen to. So grab your headphones and prepare for an epic adventure with The Stronghold podcast.

    This week on Stronghold: Freddy's, Thomas', and Dramen's journey comes to an end. In the finale of this first campaign, our three heroes face their final challenge to get what may be their last chance to make it home - to Ideron. Dramen sits in the stands watching as Freddy's match takes place, waiting to support Freddy any way he can. Freddy faces off against Mathran and we get to see just to what extent his magic has grown. Thomas in true Thomas fashion takes the team on an unexpected detour before Dramen and Freddy have a chance to react. The crew take their time as they work out which directions they go once their travels are over and done with.

Dramen spends more time with all of his armor and even takes a page out of Thomas' playbook to sneakily prepare the arena to hopefully give them the edge they need to win back what they need to get home.
