The Moss BoyZ discuss a few irons in the fire for the future of Dwarven Moss... More to come!

In this EP the Mossed Boyz discuss Act II of The Curse of Strahd!

Boren, Wendle & company make their way Northwest to the village of Kresk.

After the Battle of Vistani Hill, Wendle and Boren find one more of Madame Eva's prophecies, then head north in search of the last clue to defeating Strahd.

Wendle and Boren return to Stanomir after finding the lost Vistani girl.

Boren and Wendle spot a small fishing boat in the middle of Lake Zarovich.

Come one, come all! Boren and Wendle go to The Festival of the Blazing Sun where attendance is mandatory.

Boren and Wendle learn that the walls of Vallaki may no longer be protected from Strahd... High jinx ensues... They met an old acquaintance and a dusk elf named Rahadin.

Wendle and Boren explore Vallaki and participate in the town's strange 'positivity'.

The party makes their way to the gates of Vallaki where they ask Baron Vargas to grant them refuge within its city walls.

In celebration of our Season premiere of Act II, Dwarven Moss recorded a very special “LIVE” episode at Comicon Toronto that weaves together season 1 and 2! This episode technically acts as standalone moment within our Curse of Strahd podcast series. Perhaps, even as a side quest if you will? We’ll let you decide... That said, the tale told adds a rich layer to the Wendle and Boren saga as it explores how broadly Strahd’s mind permeates and controls the land of Barovia, and just how deep his ego and paranoia has spread throughout his own being. Strahd is the ancient, he is the land.

This event wouldn’t have been possible without the Sonar Network.

The season finale of Act I! Chapter 9 of "The Curse of Strahd"... Wendle, Boren, Ireena and their puppy BB narrowly escape the chaos of the old mill... they hope to make their way safely to the city of Vallaki where they will be free from Strahd's grasp.

Boren, Wendle, Ireena and BB find their way to the lonely mill in search of an item which tells of history, for "knowledge of the ancient will help you better understand your enemy"...

The party follow Madame Eva's clues towards an old mill, Ireena leading the way. An invitation is received...

Wendle, Boren, and Ireena leave the Village of Barovia to visit Madame Eva. The River Ivlis offers a brief moment of serenity. An epic chase along the Old Svalich Road.

Wendle and Boren continue their journey through Durst Manor, commonly known as "Death House". Boren shares a tragic story... A new friend joins the party.... A final showdown in the Death House. 

Boren and Wendle start to make their way through the "Death House". Wendle reveals his dark past.

After meeting some Vistani women, Boren and Wendle learn their wounds will soon turn them into the beasts they’ve been running from. The Vistani offer to help, but only if the party agrees to clear out the tenants of “Death House." Wendle learns more about the mysterious influence of his axe…

Boren and Wendle wander the sobbing streets of The Village of Barovia and come across a dwelling more lit than most - The Blood on the Vine Tavern. There they meet a man named Ismark Kolyanovich who tells them that his adopted sister Ireena is under some sort of spell cast by the Dark Prince Strahd and that he needs the party’s help to flee her from the village to safety. However, Ireena refuses to leave her hometown unless her recently deceased Father is buried and his soul is laid to rest. When they arrive at the Church, they encounter a distraught Father Donavich desperately trying to pray away his son Doru’s dire condition, but Doru is too far gone. Having turned into a vampire spawn he attacks Wendle and Boren in the church's undercroft but is slain by the end of the melee. The party continues to search for answers.

Protagonists Wendle and Boren agree to help the Town of Daggerford by offering to disband a rowdy and unwanted group of travellers camped outside the gates. When they confront this group of “Vistani”, a man named “Stanimir” pleads with them to help lift his people’s curse. Wendle wanting gold, and Boren seeking out good deeds, the party obliges Stanimir and accompanies the Vistani caravan to see the true seer known as Madame Eva who they are told will help them. But they never make it there... Instead they become enveloped in a deep mist that magically transports them to an eerie new land, the land of “Barovia”. Alone and lost, Boren and Wendle try to find the Vistani they were just travelling with to no avail and instead find a corpse holding a letter that pleads for “holy men” to cleanse this land of evil. After being attacked by werewolves, the party arrives at The Village of Barovia, confused and looking for answers.

Dwarven Moss started when D&D expert Tom Hodgins wanted to ignite an old passion of his by playing some D&D, so he recruited his friends, comedian Kris Siddiqi, and musician Jay McCarrol to play their very first official campaign. Jay, having a studio already setup in his dungeon suggested that they record their game as a kind of personal keepsake for the group. Upon listening back they slowly started adding post production effects and original music to pad the story and before they knew it things had spiraled and out of control taking on a life of its own - Dwarven Moss was born. Dwarven Moss produces a unique listening experience unlike other actual-play D&D podcasts. The journey captures their fun and improvised collective storytelling along the way, in real time The end result is like an old fashioned radio play.
