A group of video gamers throw down their controllers and pick up dice for the first time to play Dungeons & Dragons. What could possibly go wrong? Distracted by Side Quests is an actual play D&D podcast. We've been playing video games for many years and only recently 'discovered' Dungeons and Dragons. Spread across 3 timezones, we're loving the drama, laughs and shocks as we play this fantastic game. Join Phil the Dungeon Master as he guides our intrepid party - Tralen (played by Greg), a snooty Elf Wizard; Kim (played by Kim), a hapless Halfling Rogue; Hector (played by Jason), an overly enthusiastic Barbarian; Jatic (played by Mark) a grumpy Dwarf Fighter (played by Mark); and Paarthurnax (played by Rich), a Dragonborn Paladin whose name nobody can pronounce.
