S2E50: Dungeons, Dragons, and Drew

In this episode of Between the States, the crew sits down with special guest Drew for a wide-ranging conversation that starts with Dungeons & Dragons and quickly spirals into music, gaming nostalgia, internet culture, and the strange corners of the modern world.Drew shares how a pandemic hobby turned into a six-year D&D campaign, complete with custom world-building, time travel storylines, and the chaos of running a tabletop RPG with friends and family. The guys break down how D&D actually works, from dungeon masters and dice rolls to character creation and storytelling. Along the way, the conversation jumps into retro video games vs modern gaming, Twitch streaming, the challenges of making music independently, and why creative pursuits can be both rewarding and brutally discouraging. Drew also reflects on his past as a musician, recording albums, playing in bands, and the reality of putting art into the world.As always, the discussion takes plenty of unexpected detours into absurd humor, internet oddities, and the everyday chaos of life.If you enjoy comedy podcasts, gaming culture, tabletop RPGs, and unfiltered conversations between friends, this episode is for you.Send us Fan MailSupport the showEpisodes available on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@BetweenTheStates Follow us on Social Media:Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/people/Between-The-States/61574045351917/Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/betweenthestatespod/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@betweenthestatesBlueSky:https://bsky.app/profile/betweenthestates.bsky.socialReddit:https://www.reddit.com/r/BetweenTheStates/Comments, questions, or suggestions can be sent to: [email protected] way to support the show: https://www.patreon.com/BetweentheStates
