Oh, hi. Fancy meeting
you here.

Welcome to Dread and Breakfast, your friendly neighborhood horror-comedy-RPG podcast. Join us as we play our way through Dread, featuring fully sound designed episodes and rotating DMs.

What is Dread and Breakfast?

Dread and Breakfast is a collaborative storytelling/roleplaying podcast where we create short, terrifying tales using the horror RPG Dread.

Like in Dungeons and Dragons, one “Dread Master” crafts a world and a terrifying narrative for the other three to improvise and role-play their way through. However, rather than roll dice each player must pull from a Jenga tower to determine their character’s fate. If the tower collapses, that character becomes doomed and will eventually be removed from the game.

After each story concludes, join us for the Breakfast episode where we discuss the what-could-have-happened’s, what-went-wrong’s, and general chaos is bound to ensue.
