Desi Quest!

A high-quality actual play Dungeons & Dragons show featuring an all South Asian cast, led by GM Jasmine Bhullar. The players are Rekha Shankar, Anjali Bhimani, Omar Najam, and (also director) Sandeep Parikh,

Welcome to Vehaar, a one-of-a-kind homebrewed world with Desi culture infused in its DNA with influences drawn from the subcontinent’s rich and storied history. Everything from the Bronze Age Indus Valley civilization to the ancient epics of the Mahabharata will inspire the distinct mythos of this universe, created from scratch by Jasmine, that our player characters will adventure in. While formulating the campaign, Jasmine has been creating a precise cocktail of roleplay, problem solving, mythology exploration, and combat.
Indian history, especially historical warfare, has been largely ignored by modern pop culture. Current Dungeons and Dragons content is primarily centered in European medieval mythos with Tolkien-esque battles. The idea here is to expose our viewers to an Eastern medieval history. To this end, the show will draw upon inspirations like the Delhi Sultanate, King Asoka and Alexander the Great’s defeat in India to bring an entirely fresh perspective to the combat side of D&D. We want to feature Desi armor styles, medieval combat and martial customs.
