A custom 5th edition Dungeons and Dragons adventure professionally edited with sound effects by BOOM Library and music by Sonic Liberty. Join the next hilarious and spine chilling adventure!
The Indoorsmen is a wonderful fantasy podcast that consists of a group of players who go on epic adventures. You can listen to several episodes, camaraderie at the table, smiting evil and many jokes while The Indoorsmen are playing the world’s most popular pen and paper Role Playing Game: Dungeons and Dragons (created in 1974 by Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson).
We gave them access to a selection of BOOM Libraries to beef up their stories. The Indoorsmen is a wonderful podcast to dive into many fantasy worlds and in addition it’s a great showcase for sound design in general and our BOOM Libraries in particular.
Take a closer look at this legendary fantasy role-playing game and find out why millions of people worldwide have stepped into the boots of mighty heroes to create their own stories. In a Dungeons and Dragons game, one player is the “dungeon master”. The dungeon master is responsible with describing what is going on in the game and the final arbiter of the rules.
The Indoorsmen’s dungeon master is Garrick Enright. He told us in which game situations he used our BOOM Libraries. Three wonderful episodes wait for you. Give them a listen and enjoy a wonderful Dungeons and Dragons adventure spiced up with some heavy BOOM SFX. For more grandiose episodes check out: www.indoorsmenpodcast.com/episodes
