welcome to the Deft & Dorky Podcast.

We talk about Dungeons & Dragons 5e. Mechanics, character creation, storytelling, backstories, world building, and anything else that might come up when you think about TTRPGs. We’ll discuss it, why we like it, and what we do when we don’t like it. If there’s a topic you’d like us to discuss, leave a comment.
