Join the Party is a Dungeons and Dragons podcast created by Multitude Productions and hosted by Dungeon Master Eric Silver.
Background[edit]
The show features Eric Silver, Amanda McLoughlin, Brandon Grugle and Michael Fische.[4] The show is produced by Multitude Productions, a podcast collective founded by Amanda McLoughlin and Eric Silver.[1][5] In July of 2019, Join the Party and the four other podcasts from Multitude Productions collectively received more than two million downloads.[6]
The show's Dungeon Master, Eric Silver, learned about Dungeons and Dragons through other actual play podcasts and television programs.[7] Silver has used the show as a platform to make Dungeons and Dragons easier for newcomers to learn the mechanics of the game and demonstrate how games can be used to explore real world issues.[8] The show even provides episodes dedicated solely to helping people learn how to play.[1] The show also provides one set of episodes for experienced players and another set of episodes that include explanations of rules and game mechanics.[3] The show has "Afterparty" episodes where the players are provided the chance to ask the Dungeon Master questions and listeners of the show can submit questions as well.[2] The show engages it's audience by naming characters in the campaigns after fans of the show.[4]
The storyline begins during a wedding party where the adventures learn that something has gone wrong in the world.[2] The first season involves a warlock with knowledge of the gods, an armature assassin, and a robot detective.[9]
Format[edit]
The show provides full transcripts of every campaign.[1] Each episode of the show is about an hour long.[9] The show uses the 5th edition of Dungeons and Dragons.[2] The show has a Patreon account.[10]
Reception[edit]
Rohan Salmond recommended the podcast on ABC News, saying that "Join the Party is a great introduction to the genre. ... The rules are explained clearly right up front and never get in the way of the story".[9]

The transcripts were part of a broader effort to open up their subject to more people, no matter their background or subject knowledge. To this end, in addition to the transcriptions, they also purposefully introduced LGBTQ+ characters early on, cut down on the pop culture in-jokes, and released versions of their episodes that explained how to play.
