DnD Cutscene

DnD Cutscene

Project Overview

This is JUST a cutscene I wanna make for my tabletop dungeons and dragons party! I love playing with audio and making cool shit to spice up the campaign. This isn't paid, but it isn't an ongoing project either. Just a quick little thing. If you wanna throw your voice in here, then give it a shot!

As for WHAT this scene is... uh... its gonna get a little dark and there's a lot of context. You can skip this description but some of the audition lines may be confusing and odd...

===========
MAIN PLAYER PARTY

===========


The main player party knows something bad is happening and is returning back to the home kingdom of Brynn Shander within the nation of Helgen. They work for the King as a secret army to take down his enemies in these four frontal wars.

This cutscene is a look into what's happening while they are fast approaching the kingdom as fast as possible.

Back at the kingdom...

=========

KING AND THE NOBLES
=========

This is just when the final fight had been dealt with by the main player party. They thought all their troubles were finally over. The land conquered, enemies turned to their side or killed. But... King Wolfgang's father, Ferdinand, has risen from the dead to claim his rightful throne. A higher power is using Wolfgang's father as a vessel to complete Wolfgang's transition into being a complete avatar of insanity.

Wolfgang and many of the nobles will have their armies absolutely decimated with no warning, complete ease, and with great prejudice... so when this recording starts, everyone will already be worn down and tired.

Wolfgang was drugged, his men, family, bound and tied up. Each and every one lined up while Ferdinand Monologues and taunts Wolfgang... Eventually... leading into the execution of all the nobles. Everything Wolfgang had worked for these past 20 sessions, building the nation, playing politics, successfully doing the impossible and winning a four frontal war... all crumbles down here.

One by one these noblemen the players have grown to love will be killed in the most horrifying and traumatizing way.

Lexi will be the only one to survive as the players will get there in the nick of time to free the king... and all hell will break loose as the players and the king unleash all their anger and emotions on the Mad King Ferdinand. The final boss to a major arc.

===========

Thats basically what happens. I am currently writing/fleshing out the script! If you have discord and wanna pitch into the script with ideas let me know! I'd love to hear yalls input! (I can also send examples of past cutscenes I've done)

Fargust Duskmane
open
Unpaid

A bearded general, burly and strong. He is the eldest brother in the old House Diane. Ever since the fusion of the houses, he became the general of the foot soldier battalion. He is a hard mother fucker wielding a large battle axe, covered head to toe in armor.

His voice is rough, but he speaks softly, but once wartime hits, his voice shifts into a hardened general, shouting across the plains so his commands reach the ears of his men.

The youngest sister in the old House Diane. A tactician and swordswoman. She used to hate herself due to her lack of magic capabilities compared to the rest of her family, but now as she has aged and the houses fused, she has found her current role as a military advisor. She serves under King Wolfgang as a faithful ear and wealth of stratagems. (She also has a relationship with Kard) 

Her voice is kinda tomboyish yet still feminine

  • What? 'Are you crazy?' Pff, If I'm going to be honest, Wolfgang? You have always had a few screws loose since you were my babysitter.

  • We need to relegate our recourses up north for Henderthorn. Luckily Fargust's military is strong enough, we can move Eins and the mage battalion to aid in the anti air support.

  • *Crying* Wolfgang, do something! Please! I don't wanna die- We can't let this end here, not after we've come so far!

Lexi Duskmane

Lexi is a jovial young noble girl, the youngest of the old House Tyrian. She is upbeat, and very friendly despite the dark setting, though thats more of a front to keep herself happy and others around her at ease. She was appointed leader of the Calvary Battalion. Shes quick and smart when it comes to flanking the enemy. 

Her voice is higher pitched and very spunky. Its very out of place with the seriousness of the rest of the cast.

Eins Duskmane
open
Unpaid

Eins Duskmane is a political adversary to Wolfgang and member of the old House Clearwater. He left when Ferdinand was king because his disagreement with the current house system, and came back when Wolfgang made steps towards change. But he believes that Wolfgang doesn't want to change the nation further, instead he believes Wolfgang hogged all the political power to him and him alone, taking advantage of the wartime as a cover.


Eins is a pragmatic individual who doesn't hate Wolfgang, but he despises his inability to make necessary sacrifice. He does aid Wolfgang while he is currently still in his employment as the leader of the Mage Battalion.

His voice is a bit high standard. He sounds powerful and snide, without being overbearing and cartoonish about it. Just a man of higher class.

  • *Giving a speech to a crowd of civilians* Our faithful King Wolfgang has used this wartime as a front to delegate all bureaucracy to him and him alone, making our land a true monarchy! What are we, the 2nd century!? WAKE UP PEOPLE!

  • *In private with Wolfgang* As much as I despise your politics, I can't help but respect your strength... and if you're going to go out and kill yourself, I thought I'd make it a bit more difficult for "them." *Hands over documents*

  • *In utter shock* You can't kill my boy, please! Take me! Magnus has done nothing wrong, he is an innocent child! I am the cruel one, I am the one who deserves penance, please!

The Mad King Ferdinand
open
Unpaid

What is insanity? We find ourselves asking this question, trying to find the right definition and explanation for others who act out of the ordinary.

King Ferdinand... was a kind man, although he was stubborn at times, he meant well...... whatever this is... it is NOT Ferdinand. Some entity has taken over his corpse and uses him as a false avatar, an incomplete puppet. He is INSANE. He has reason to do things but how he goes about his path is chaotic, unpredictable, and unstable. He has a set plan, but as to what this plan is, he dances around with insane ramblings that lead no where. He goes from 0 to 100 in an instant, no off switch whatsoever. 

His voice has a couple of very specific references, and I ask that you try to mimic it to the best of your ability.


This is a reference to his inflections and how he speaks. He has a deep bassy voice but shoots to highs and lows and screams and hits a note in the middle of his words. Like he cant contain the music within him. Think of it like Joker's Laugh in the Joker Movie, its a painful inflection where he just does it out of forced habit. (Hard to explain without listening to the video)
Peter Maxwell Davies - Eight Songs for a Mad King for Baritone and Ensemble (1969) [Score-Video]


2nd reference which is similar to the 1st. (Its the 2nd guy) Where its just a broken mind- trying to formulate sentences. In the middle of him talking, have him lose his words like his mind is just fucking GONE. Not of this earth, before he pulls himself back and speaks like reference 1.

Magnus Duskmane

Magnus is a timid boy. Being the son of Eins Duskmane brings a certain standard you must uphold. His father is harsh and cruel with his half elven nature and illegitimate mother who wasn't sworn into the house system. He's only a noble by blood, not by official legal standing. 

His voice is soft. He rarely speaks.
