Fury of the Small
Four stalwart heroes go into a goblin cave, leaving chaos in their wake.
Four frightened goblins survive to tell the tale.
Brand new from The Spinoff and The Wild Magic Tavern is Fury of the Small, a new podcast series in ten parts. Featuring a stellar cast of Aotearoa’s finest storytellers, richly detailed soundscapes and a sweeping musical score, Fury of the Small is an audio adventure like no other. Local tabletop content creators The Wild Magic Tavern have partnered with The Spinoff to produce a deeply immersive narrative audio experience. The cast, which features some of the very best comedic and acting talent New Zealand has to offer, uses the Dungeons & Dragons ruleset to build a collaborative story. The final product is a hilarious, action-packed and emotionally poignant listen which requires no prior knowledge of D&D to enjoy.
Find it on all podcast platforms, and YouTube! Here’s the trailer:

Dungeons & Comedians
The most acclaimed show in Aotearoa, and with good reason! D&C has been selling out its live shows for years, has seen an incredible number of top comedy and improv talents join in the fun, and has been celebrated by the most mainstream media outlets alongside the geekiest. But even if you’ve seen a top D&D show with hilarious performers before, D&C has another secret weapon beyond that: it is the only RPG show in the world with live animation accompaniment! The incredible Andrew Kepple brings scene after scene to life with hilarious animations assembled and drawn on screen as they audience watch. So what are you waiting for? (It’s available in podcast form too, but then you miss the animations!)
