Second Season of Horror/Dungeons & Dragons Podcast FEAR INITIATIVE Has Begun
At the intersection of horror podcasts, table top gaming, and nerd culture comes Fear Initiative, a Dungeons & Dragons-themed show that puts its fate in the hands of a 20-sided die. After an infectious first season, Season 2 commenced earlier this week. If you’re not familiar with Fear Initiative, it’s time to get on board (pun intended).
For the uninitiated:
Led by Dungeon Master David Ian McKendry (All the Creatures Were Stirring), the loveable cast of misfits includes horror industry notables Megan Duffy (Maniac), Jeff Seidman (American Gods), Josh Forbes (Contracted: Phase II) and Morgan Peter Brown (Absentia), as they play their way through a story filled with twists, turns, magic, mayhem, and of course, horror!
With a cast made up of film and television professionals, the format of a tabletop RPG was a surprise to some of them in how creatively satisfying it felt. “When it’s working, it really is a beautiful kind of improvised storytelling where, as a group, we create our own world,” says Brown, an actor/producer. Forbes, a writer/director, enjoys the mash-up of his personal geekdom. “I knew we were all horror nerds, it turns out D&D is a really great way to play out so many different horror ideas.”
