Welcome to the Minds Never Matter Podcast!

We are an actual play, narratively driven homebrew campaign that follows four budding adventurers as they take on their most perilous challenge yet -- being college students using Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition.

In our first ever session, we get introduced to each of our party members: Emilia Victosolis, the Paladin noble with a not-so-heart of gold; Pogo Stardust, the hard-working Barbarian doing his best to become a Wizard; Cecily Belghriom, a bubbly Cleric with the same vibe as a homeschooled church fanatic; and Sartheleon Grey, the charmingly self-centered Rogue with more problems than his aim with a dagger as they're whisked away for Orientation Day at the Adventuring College of Elona -- the top university in Divitotum for preparing potential adventurers to join one of the many guilds that can be found in the world upon graduation.

As the party try to connect with each other for the first time despite their very obvious differences, they're given their first task as an official adventuring party: signing up for clubs and extracurriculars.

In our second session, our party experiences campus life at ACE for the first time, and the unfortunate consequences of not declaring a melee attack as "non-lethal". After a confrontation with ACE's headmaster, the elusive Aasimar Juno Everheart, our adventurers experience their first day of classes.

From Pogo taking an interest in Elonian history and Sartheleon becoming invested in the locations of the many magic artefacts throughout Divitotum, Cecily being asked out by everyone's favorite baking Bugbear, Cook, to Emilia facing off against her estranged fiancé in the middle of a class presentation, each of our "heroes" start learning the hard truths of being a student at the adventuring college.

In our third session, our party members finally start hitting crucial milestones that will begin defining who they'll become throughout their adventure. Sartheleon meets a mysterious woman that knows a little too much about him, Cecily manages to avoid killing someone -- but she does explode the Alchemy club's lab -- Pogo may actually have the potential to become a powerful wizard after all, and Emilia gets the surprise of a lifetime when she takes her official Oath as a Paladin.
