I Seduce The Dragon Podcast

An all-female, actual-play D&D podcast where a pornstar, an aerospace engineer, a lawyer-cowgirl, and a mom play through Icewind Dale.

The brief

This is a dual-format production. The main show, "I Seduce The Dragon," is a professionally sound-designed, actual-play D&D campaign set in Icewind Dale, played by a group of friends with wildly different day jobs. A separate, Patreon-exclusive series, "The Afterglow with Ryan Keely," serves as a loose, comedic aftershow where the cast breaks down game sessions, shares personal stories, and explores eclectic topics like modern piracy and hypothetical physics.

The show's most distinctive feature is its self-described "hilariously high femme perspective" and the unique professional backgrounds of its all-female cast, which includes a pornstar and an aerospace engineer. The two-show format—a core actual-play campaign and a separate, freewheeling recap show—is also unusual.

What you'll be asked on this show

How the host interviews

This is not an interview show. The main podcast is a narrative, actual-play D&D game. The companion podcast, "The Afterglow," is a co-hosted chat show where the cast discusses the game and other topics in a free-flowing, conversational format without a formal interview structure.

The main show is a narrative actual-play D&D campaign led by DM Jess Parks. The companion show, "The Afterglow," is a casual, multi-host chat show led by Ryan Keely. This aftershow is highly tangential, mixing game recaps with recurring segments and personal anecdotes from the cast. [cIZ3dUWg8Qk, w2GFI4F6QTQ]
