Ouroboros Chronicles (OC) is a real-play TTRPG podcast telling a sprawling tale of death and rebirth. What begins as a familiar 5th-edition Dungeons & Dragons fantasy adventure slowly becomes something far darker.
As the players set out on a heroic quest, they begin to uncover uncomfortable truths about their world—truths that force impossible choices as unfathomable horrors creep ever closer to consuming everything.
Told through character-driven storytelling and dice rolls, this campaign drifts from classic fantasy into apocalyptic horror. As the story evolves, the lines between right and wrong, friend and foe, begin to blur—and survival demands more than heroism alone.
This is a story about death and rebirth, the nature of time, and how far someone will go to protect themselves, their family, and what remains of their world.

We are Maximized Quest. A group of ordinary people who have been playing games together for decades. Ouroboros Chronicles is our D&D Real Play Podcast.
What you can expect from Ouroboros Chronicles:
A typical D&D Table: Our table probably sounds a lot like a real game, because that's what it is. We aren't scripted, we aren't professionals using D&D to break boundaries, and everything we do you can do at your own table.
Play by the Rules: While we agree that rules should never get in the way of fun, we're here to play D&D, and if you aren't using the rules, you aren't really playing the game. We use the dice and the rules to shape a story.
Collaborative Storytelling: While the DM may start the plot, the actions the players take and the roll of the dice will change the story from one session to the next. Like any good D&D game, the story evolves and even the DM has no idea how it will end.
Comedy and Tragedy: We like to laugh, who doesn't? So even on more serious episodes you'll probably hear us making fools of ourselves and laughing at our own bad jokes, but the overall theme of the story is intended to be more dramatic. That said, the party dictates just how funny they want things to be or how serious they want it to be.
Rotating Genres: If you stick with us for the long haul you'll find the DM has a habit of shifting genres within D&D, and while the story may go in unexpected directions, he has long term plans to move from a fantasy world into a less traditional D&D setting. There will be some hints on how this might happen throughout the first couple seasons, but however season two ends, season three will introduce the first genre shift, which we're all very excited for.
