Ollin Productions is planning a new project we are calling “Dicebag Theater.” This new show draws on our experience as gamers (we’ve both been playing role-playing games for nearly 30 years) as well as our audio theater experience to bring you a new and unique view of the gaming hobby.
Each episode of “Dicebag Theater” will combine recordings of actual gameplay sessions with dramatizations of the scenes that have been played out in the game. We hope to thus give listeners a peek inside the gamer’s imagination and foster a greater understanding about a hobby that is frequently misunderstood at best and feared and demonized at worst. Joe has said that our goal is “to make the show for folks who fear RPGs, to show there’s nothing to be afraid of.”
We will release “Dicebag Theater” on our podcast feed. It’s our plan to make the show as family-friendly as possible, as we believe that RPGs can — and should — be a hobby the whole family can enjoy.
We’ve gotten permission from several game designers to feature their games on the show, and we’re working now to gather both gamers and actors who are interested in helping us out with this project. If you fit into either (or both!) of these categories, please get in touch with us!
We’ll keep our fans and friends updated on developments as work on “Dicebag Theater” progresses. Spread the word!
