Welcome to Dungeons and Diagnoses, a 5th edition audio podcast with a twist!

Our heroes explore the cast kingdom of Gaedia. A land filled with the same perils and monsters you may be familiar with as the traditional Dungeons and Dragons, but with Grumm, a Half-Orc Barbarian, Sailor, and Bard, who struggles with his half-bred heritage and its lingering effects on their body.
