Back in June, we introduced the new D&D storyline at the Stream of Annihilation with a bunch of D&D adventuring groups known for streaming live play videos on Twitch. Not to be outdone, the community of podcast creators who play D&D in audio only without streaming came together to form Podcasts of Annihilation. Many of the most popular D&D live play podcasts out there are all playing through different parts of the Tomb of Annihilation adventure to celebrate the wide release. Each day during the week of September 18th, Dungeons & Dragons will release brand new episodes of these awesome podcasts on the Dungeon Delve RSS feed.
Each of the groups is busy recording these sessions now and getting them ready, as well as organizing crossover meetups with characters or DMs appearing in the other groups as guests. It’s been an absolute blast witnessing the flurry of creativity that these amazing DMs and players have been bringing to the mic and we’re psyched to be able to showcase their interpretations of the Tomb of Annihilation.
Mark your calendars – the Podcasts of Annihilation will be coming to Dungeon Delve starting with two episodes releasing on September 18th and following with two new episodes each day that week. Click here to subscribe to Dungeon Delve on iTunes or wherever you download podcasts.

 | "Taking Initiative" is a Dungeons & Dragons 5e actual-play podcast from The Spark Network. Gameplay is primarily centered around the storytelling and role-playing, but it certainly doesn't shy away from the humor, both in and out of game. The DM and players range from beginners to veterans, giving it a wide spectrum for both the group and its audience. Come for the people, stay for the story. The current campaign arc, "Barovian Rhapsody," takes place in the "Curse of Strahd" module, much to the surprise of the players.

 | Godsfall is an original fantasy story told through the lens of a 5th edition Dungeons and Dragons game in a world of lost magic and dead Gods known as Khalgun.
