Flash back to long, long ago, otherwise known as 2022. A gaggle of longstanding friends (plus an extra weirdo that got invited along on a whim — we’ll let you guess who) decided to play a game with dice and make-believe. They became three strangers trapped in an imagined ramshackle saloon during a violent dust storm. It was about an hour in when, through perilous encounters and heart-stopping storytelling, they all collectively had the same thought: “Oh fuck, we’re gonna have to make a podcast out of this, aren’t we?

Thus, Mage Hand High Five was born. We’re a group of actors, writers, storytellers, and friends who love improvising and playing outside the swords and sorcery tropes of traditional high fantasy Dungeons & Dragons campaigns. Instead, we wanna play with entirely different tropes! From thrilling single-episode tales to sprawling epics, we’ll jump between worlds — and genres — always ensuring that our listeners expect the unexpected.
