Pretending to be People

Dork Day Afternoon is a table top role playing game, actual play podcast. We're not professional voice actors, writers, producers, musicians, or media moguls (not for a lack of trying).  We are a group of people that have had so much fun playing TTRPGs, that we thought we might see if other people would like to listen in on our games. DDA's roots were cultivated and nursed to life through the glorious game systems of Dungeons and Dragons, AD&D, Pathfinder, Starfinder, Shadowrun, Twilight: 2000, Delta Green, and the most beloved... Hero Quest Shows Two Past Midnight DDA's actual play campaign of Twilight 2000 4th edition game system. Twilight: 2000 is a role playing game about a "World War III that never was". Our character's begin the campaign lost and stranded in a war torn Poland during the year 2000. Join us each week to hear how they keep body and soul intact as they search for a way home. The balloon has gone up and the clocks have stopped, but time marches on... Rogues of Vättern Dork Day Afternoon heads to Sweden where we'll be taking a "deep dive" into "Hostile Waters", Free League's rules and setting supplement, and to see how 2nd Marine Division has faired in the post apocalyptic world of Twilight: 2000.  Join us as we follow a small group of intrepid Leathernecks from small crafts platoon to see how they navigate the fjords of Sweden and the turbulent waters of the new political landscape. Will they complete their mission? Can they make it back home? Will they improvise, adapt and overcome or will they be doomed to the icy deep? Oorah! Encore of the Lost DDA's play through of the Extinction Curse adventure path written for the Pathfinder Second Edition game system, published by Paizo, Inc. Join us as we gracefully stumble through circus crowds and the Pathfinder Second Edition rules. Our intrepid adventurers put on a show...while putting on a show...while trying to unravel ancient mysteries.

Syrinscape is a revolutionary sound design application created by Benjamin Loomes and the team at Syrinscape Pty Ltd. Unlike simple music players, it uses a sophisticated algorithmic engine to create dynamic, non repeating soundscapes that react to the events of a tabletop game. It is the official audio partner for major brands like Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, and Call of Cthulhu, offering hundreds of professionally produced "SoundSets" that provide everything from cinematic orchestral scores to specific monster growls and spell effects. Description Syrinscape is built on the philosophy that "Epic Games Need Epic Sound." It provides Game Masters with a powerful digital soundboard where every element of an environment is independently controlled. Instead of playing a single audio loop, the app randomly triggers individual sounds—like a distant wolf howl, a creaking door, or a tavern patron’s laugh—to create a living, breathing atmosphere. It is available as a downloadable app for offline play or as a high performance Web Player for remote sessions. System Overview & Key Features The Dynamic Audio Engine The core of Syrinscape is its ability to randomize sound samples in time and 3D space. This ensures that a "forest" soundscape never sounds exactly the same twice, preventing the listener fatigue that often comes from short, repetitive audio loops found in standard music players. One Shot Sound Effects Beyond ambient music, the app features dedicated buttons for instant sound effects. A GM can trigger a fireball explosion, a dragon screech, or a critical hit stinger at the exact moment a player rolls the dice, adding a cinematic punctuation to the narrative. Official Adventure SoundSets Syrinscape produces bespoke audio for official RPG modules. When running a major campaign like Curse of Strahd or Abomination Vaults, GMs can access SoundSets designed specifically for every room and encounter in the book, including character voices and unique environmental cues. The Web Player and Online Player For remote play, the Web Player allows players to hear the GM's audio in perfect sync through their own browsers without needing an account. It is highly optimized for low latency and high quality, making it a perfect companion for Discord based games. SoundSet Creator Advanced users with a SuperSyrin subscription can access the SoundSet Creator tool. This allows you to upload your own music and samples, mix them with existing Syrinscape elements, and build completely custom environments tailored to your specific campaign world. VTT Integration Syrinscape features deep integration with platforms like Fantasy Grounds and Foundry VTT. This allows the software to trigger specific sounds automatically based on in game events, such as a character taking damage or a trap being sprung.
