You Rolled A 1: A Failing D&D Show

You Rolled a 1www.instagram.com
You Rolled A 1 is the D&D podcast that proves failure is half the fun! We believe that epic adventures aren’t just about rolling high—they’re about the chaotic, ridiculous, and downright disastrous moments that make the best stories. Our mission is to celebrate the joy of roleplaying, inspiring people to embrace the unexpected both in the game and in life. Join our band of misfits in this actual play podcast, where the quips are sharp, the dice rolls are terrible, and the consequences are even worse. Led by Professor Epic, our Dungeon Master, we dive into the homebrew city of Veloth—a gritty, crime-ridden port city filled with eccentric characters, corrupt officials, and warring gangs. Season 1 follows four of the Veloth Police Department’s newest recruits as they fumble their way through their first (and possibly last) big case: Who stole the Sapphire Rose? With critical failures at every turn, will they solve the mystery—or just make things hilariously worse? You Rolled A 1—because sometimes, the best adventures start with the worst rolls. Season 2: The Greatest Heist That Never Was Season 2 of You Rolled A 1 took a bold new direction, following four criminal rats—yes, actual rats—deep in Veloth’s sewer underbelly as they attempted the biggest heist in Veloth’s history. It had everything: cunning schemes, high-stakes crime, and a literal rat pack of misfits ready to gnaw their way to glory. And then… we rolled a Nat 1 on life. Just four episodes in, the season completely fell apart thanks to COVID, scheduling chaos, and enough real-world mishaps to put our in-game failures to shame. Did the rats pull off the heist? Did they even make it out of the sewers? No one knows. What we do know is that for the brief time it existed, Season 2 was an absolute mess—and an absolute blast. Tune in to experience the most hilariously doomed D&D season in history… before it all crumbles apart. Season 3 is back with a vengeance with a new party, new world and a new DM. We start in Seafall a coastal town in Belkar where the Driftwood Crown was stolen. The party must get it back... what could go wrong? Follow us https://www.instagram.com/yourolleda1
