Dragon Friends refers to three things: the comedy podcast based around a Dungeons & Dragons campaign played live on stage by comedians; the first major campaign of that podcast, which has so far run for nine seasons and various spin-offs since 2015; and the ragtag group of adventurers who were the main cast of that campaign.
The Show[]
Dragon Friends is (usually) recorded in front of a live audience in Sydney, Australia, and performed by four players, a Dungeon Master (mostly Dave Harmon) and their assistant who portrays other characters (usually Ben Jenkins and often Edan Lacey). The show also features live musical accompaniment (initially by Benny Davis). A live show usually has two halves, which end up being edited and released as two episodes of the podcast, which is usually released fortnightly as a season of 10-20 episodes.
The Party of the First Campaign[]
The “Draggos” are initially halfling rogue Bobby Pancakes (played by Simon Greiner), elf warlock Freezo (Michael Hing) and half-orc barbarian Philge (Alex Lee), with human fighter/monk Baston (Edan Lacey) joining them from season two onwards. The bonds of friendship first forged in a ska-filled Tavern in Daggerford (S1) have followed them to the dark wilds of Barovia (Season 2), the gritty neon alleys of Shadowrun (Season 3), the jungles of Chult (Tomb of Annihilation) and the farthest reaches of Wild Space (Season 4). They return home without Freezo, joining up instead with the aasimar artificer Lionshield Banknote. They fail to foil a conspiracy by the cult of the Lampwick Sign (Season 5), and must join the resistance against their ascendant arch-enemy, the vampire Strahd (Season 6). Freezo returns just in time for the Draggos to be thrown back in time to the Empire of Netheril (Season 7) and change history; their only way home is via suspended animation (Season 8). When they finally make it home, it seems they’ve found peace at last - but there’s always time for one more adventure (Season 9).
