G.I.A. Guild of Inept Adventurers

A fan-made actual play podcast from a chaotic group of friends who’ve been gaming together since 2021. We play D&D, Middle Earth, Pirate Borg, Deadlands, Cthulhu, and more—badly. Rules come second, fun comes first. Expect dice rolls, dumb choices, and a lot of laughs. This is our escape, and hopefully yours too. We’re not affiliated with any publishers, everything we do is rooted in love and respect for the brilliant creators who build these worlds. We’re just grateful tourists passing through.. Swearing, nonsense, and critical failures ahead. Welcome to the Guild of Inept Adventurers!
