A cow, a sword, and a wild shard.

Try Not To Die is a Dungeons & Dragons podcast, started in 2019 between three queer-as-hell friends with a couple of microphones.

Equal parts drama and comedy, our tale is a heart-warming and hilarious epic fueled by dice-rolls and improvisational story-telling. Filled with queer romance and found family, Try Not To Die tells the story of Gorgonzola: a teenage half-orc who leaves her childhood cheese farm to find her long-lost mother. When Zola stumbles upon a wild and magical shard along the way, she’s thrown into a mystery as old as time, one where she’ll have to confront gods and dragons, join a pirate crew, and earn a degree— yikes!

3+ years later and 100 chapters later, Zola’s journey to find her mom and save the world has concluded. Check out our second campaign (currently ongoing): Musemakers, a glamorous battle of the bards for the ultimate prize: a Wish from one of the nine Muses!
