OUT NOW! Dungeon Masters
Dungeon Masters takes a behind-the-curtain look into the world of Dungeons & Dragons, told through the lenses of the creator of the game, Gary Gygax, played by Wil Wheaton and of private investigator, William Dear, played by Jon Hamm, a swashbuckling tough guy in 1979. Gygax guides the audience through this incredible true story as our Dungeon Master, as we follow Dear on his quest to find Dallas Egbert, a Michigan State student, who supposedly disappeared in the steam tunnels under his University while enacting a real-life version of D&D. What Dear encounters on this journey and ultimately discovers, defies all expectations, and changes the culture as we know it.
Written by award-winning journalist and author, David Kushner, based on his interviews with Gary Gygax, his research and writing about Dungeons & Dragons (RISE OF THE DUNGEON MASTER), and the missing person case which inadvertently made the game (in)famous. Produced by Jon Hamm, Temple Hill and QCODE.
All episodes will be available for free, but QCODE+ subscribers get early, uninterrupted access to new episodes along with episode commentary and roundtable discussions with creators. Learn more at https://qcodemedia.com/qcodeplus.

OUT NOW! Crime Waves: Renaissance, TX
Season 2 of Crime Waves tells the story of The Texas Renaissance Festival, the largest — and rowdiest — ren fair in the nation. A place where reality and fantasy are blurred. You may think it’s all tights and turkey legs, but what if we told you that the festival has a dark side, too? Over the years, this ren fair has been the scene of murders, assaults, and other assorted crimes. We went to the fair to investigate this place where people live out their carnal fantasies and figure out just exactly how that could become so dangerous. But we didn't expect to find danger for us.

Crime Waves: Renaissance, TX is a collaboration of Faceplant and QCODE, in association with No Smiling.

Introducing: SIGHTINGS – A New Weekly Series from QCODE & Reverb Exploring the World’s Most Mysterious and Unexplained Phenomena
Published 2 Oct 2024 · Transcript excerpt
[…] Soon enough, we were all heading back to the farm. I know what you're thinking. We'd be crazy to go back there. But now we had four police cruisers behind us. There was Pritchett and Chief Greenwald, of course, plus Deputy Batts from the county sheriff and Trooper Ferguson from the Stades also came along. There was even another Stady waiting at the farm when we arrived. He said he heard the hullabaloo on the radio and thought we'd like to know he saw some pretty weird stuff at Shady Oaks down the road. Stuff like flashes in the sky, he said, like meteors heading in the direction of our farm.
