   Ep. 0 - The Press Conference

   In this episode we explain a little bit of graduate school and how to play DnD. Then we get right into Session 0 (around minute 7), where the players learn that Dr. Sanchez (engineering professor and inventor of teleportation technology) has gone missing, no one knows where the portal leads, and they have been volunteered by their thesis advisor to be the first to step through the portal! Fictional University has kindly arranged a last minute press conference for them to discuss this amazing opportunity with reporters before going through the portal tomorrow. Will they survive going through the portal? Check out Episode 1 to find out! Check us out on social media: Instagram - @PhDnDpod TikTok - @PhDnDpod Twitter - @PhDnD_pod Our website is phdndpod.com.
