Quick update on the change of name for the OCD&D Podcast

Hi, Phil here, your DM. I just wanted to give you an update on a big change to the show that will be taking place over the coming weeks.

It's become apparent that back in 2109, what started out as an innocent play on our 'Overseas Connection' podcast heritage, the title OCD&D turned out to be a bad choice.

None of us on the show have OCD (to any large extent) and furthermore we don't represent the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder community.

Recently I have been contacted by a number of OCD sufferers looking for clarity and advice, especially around Dungeons & Dragons and OCD representation.

Following some basic research, I discovered that, despite often ridiculed, Obessive Compulsive Disorder is a recognised disability. I apologise for any confusion, it was never malicious.

Drawing a line under that, I am taking the opportunity to rebrand and refresh the show.

The show will be renamed in the next few days, with all episodes re-edited to reflect the change. However, the current feed will be updated which means that your subscription will stay valid and you won't have to do anything.

It's an exciting time after a crappy couple of years, and we're hoping to bring some refreshed energy to our story

I hope you'll continue to share in the Misfits journey, as Tralen, Kim, Hector, Jatic and maybe even Paarthurnax continue to try not to die!

So, expect a new episode in your feed soon, of the newly titled Distracted by side quests

The Misfits discover a mysterious wizard. Who is he? Why is he here? Where are the hostages? And more importantly, why isn't he intimidated?

The Redbrand hideout is proving a challenge to the Misfits, where feats of strength are failed and a wet, oddly quiet, Dwarf swings true with his morning star. Will they find the hostages?
