MD 312 Season Finale - Goblin Kings and Popstars Sing - Rise of the Vat Spawn (actual play)
Season Finale - Goblin Kings and Popstars Sing Bat Alchemist uses gym-kata to make his way through the swarm of goblins dance-fighting to Enrique Iglesias. He moves under the bleachers and sees bad-kid goblins smoking cigarettes and making out. He melts them with an acid potion. Warlock Rock hits a button that raises a fashion-show catwalk in the center of the room. She sashays her way to the Goblin King, does a diving punch, but misses and lands sprawled out on the floor behind him. Dragon Warrior runs on the top of goblin heads and lands on Lotto the demon dog, and commands Lotto to breath fire on the goblins while running to the goblin king. Rocky-Staroth tries to regain control of Lotto the demon dog, but Dragon Warrior maintains control. Dragon Warrior miscasts the spell Poison Lick of Fug making his own face quite gross. Tiger Wizard misses whacking the goblin king with his wand. The goblin king polymorphes Tiger Wizard into a goblin adorned with goblin skulls… he’s now Goblin Wizard. Ariana, polymorphed into a goblin (Gobliana), successfully snaps Tiger Wizard out of his polymorphed mind control, then takes a Gobliana-sized bite out of the Goblin King’s leg. Goblin Wizard climbs up the human-sized Goblin King’s shoulder, wacks him in the face with his wand Dorkus, then gruesomely peels the mask off of the Goblin King. Goo, like pizza cheese, still connects between the mask and the Goblin King’s face. Goblin Wizard puts the mask on becoming the new Goblin Wizard King. He begins to succumb to its power, including growing a tiger-demon face on his torso. He uses the mask to calm down the throng of goblins. Dragon Warrior stabs Rocky-Staroth in the chest with his soul-bound sword. Bat Alchemist strong-arms Rocky-Staroth into teaching Goblin Wizard how to use the mask. He turns Ariana back into a human. Goblin Wizard finishes off Rocky-Staroth and puts everyone back to work for Dr. Dre-colich. Warlock Rock makes friends with Ariana, and all of the Vat Spawn ride off into the sunset with Ariana for future adventures involving a mysterious Beibataur.

MD 311 Enrique Iglesias Murder Dance Party - Rise of the Vat Spawn (actual play)
The Vat Spawn watch the Goblin King polymorph the missing Ariana from a beautiful pop star into a grotesque goblin. A hundred goblins cheer him on as the transformation occurs. “Goblins is people?” Dragon Warrior queried. Bat Alchemist lights a joint from the demon dog’s fire breath to regain his lost health. Then he reverse engineered Warlock Roc’s listening device to play Enrique Iglesias through the tone-stone walls, causing them to gather in one area for a makeshift dance party. Turns out goblins are obsessed with Enrique Iglesias. Tiger Wizard takes advantage of the distracting dance party, springs through the door, and casts Nitar’s Fireball, serving a dish of fiery destruction. The Goblin King breathes fire from the demonic face in the center of his torso, but Tiger Wizard and Bat Alchemist move out of the way. The goblins swarm the Vat Spawn as they fight-dance to Enrique Iglesias. Dragon Warrior sits atop the demon dog Lotto and charges into the room. Lotto breathes fire into the goblin horde as Dragon Warrior swan dives into the goblins as he casts Pognif Explosion exploding himself and a single goblin to bits… and then he reforms. Bat Alchemist uses his soulbound weapon Clippy’s ability to hit multiple targets. In return for his services, Clippy demands to be of assistance immediately and makes Bat Alchemist do calisthenics to get better at attacking. Tiger Wizard dances through the goblin horde to whiff hitting the Goblin King, and notices that he’s wearing a wooden mask. Warlock Roc attempts to sneak away, but trips on her high heels into the goblin horde. Dragon Warrior wades through the gobs to give Warlock Roc a healing potion, which brought her back to full power and made her glow pink. The Goblin King grabs Tiger Wizard and begins polymorphing him into a goblin. Tune in next week to see how goblined up Tiger Wizard gets.

MD 307 Goblin Guards & Credit Cards - Rise of the Vat Spawn (actual play)
307 Goblin Guards & Credit Cards - Rise of the Vat Spawn The Vat Spawn peruse the lobby of the goblin museum when the alarm button gets pushed after Tiger Wizard is caught trying to steal trillmatic rings. A negotiation starts up on either side of a force field with a goblin on stilts named Snax. An elite goblin named Meat Fists swallows a cat whole and pulls out its skeleton to intimidate the crew. Bat Alchemist and Tiger Wizard calm the situation down with successful converse rolls. Tiger Wizard uses a Mad Dungeon word to change the fabric of reality to create Tone Stone Touch Pads for bureaucratic transactions, and now the team has a Goblin Museum bank card. They pay for a tour of the museum. They’re given four beefy goblins as escorts: Gilbert (IRS suspenders), Stink Pits (no shirt, tie, cargo pants, dollar sign tattoos), Glerbnid (big feet, toes busting out of dress shoes) and Tor (eye magnifying glasses). Room one of the tour is of the banking area. Tiger Wizards’ obsession with the vault causes conflict with Glerbnid, but Warlock Roc calms the situation down. They move into the next room of weapons and goblin museum curators who laugh and threaten to disembowel Dragon Warrior after he touches the Codeine Fountain Razor and buckles to his knees.

MD 304 AGAB: All Garys Are Bastards - Rise of the Vat Spawn (actual play)
This week the Vat Spawn are at the Rock Ride station platform with The Coroner. They’re stopped while trying to pass through a DJPD checkpoint. The fuzz find a joint on Warlock Roc and they’re detained. They unsuccessfully attempt to bribe the officers, and the cops call in backup. Tiger Wizard uses the Mad Dungeon word “sneakily” to create a cartoon style fight cloud, and they come out with their clothing swapped. The Vat Spawn escape in their new police uniforms, make their way through the municipal district to the colosseum where the executions will take place. They attempt to enter through a side entrance guarded by a DJPD officer by telling him that they were bringing The Coroner as a last minute addition to the public execution. The Coroner flips out at this undiscussed plan and runs away. Bat Alchemist utilized the Mad Dungeon word “sexy” to make every officer’s name Gary. AGAB: All Garys Are Bastards. They make friends with this Gary and he lets them into the colosseum just in time to see ten people be mutilated and dumped into the Necropolis below. ANNOUNCEMENTS THE MEGA DUNGEON MEN EP : Our new TTRPG fantasy meets hip hop album, The Mega Dungeon Men EP is out this Friday.

MD 303 City Streets & Spaghetti Treats - Rise of the Vat Spawn (actual play)
This week our heroes meet The Coroner in the basement of his mortuary. We learn that the dead bodies of Def Jamisus city are sent down chutes to the Necropolis below. The Marshal of Mummies explains that astral markers are needed to re-up their magical powers before leaving them with The Coroner to take them to view today’s public executions, and will meet them in goblin town later. The vat spawn move through the streets of the walled city, learning more about tone-stone, that there’s venders selling bags of spaghetti everywhere, and that their public transit system, The Rock Ride aka The “R,” moves along the perimeter of the city's 100-foot tall walls. They move from an undead district, through the interior wall to the market district, to the entrance to the inner concentric circle wall to the city center. There, they’re stopped at a Def Jamisus Police Department checkpoint. Warlock Rock fails at casting the spell candy talk, and is frisked. The DJPD finds a joint and the entire crew is detained.

Magic ribbons: “Sashay Queen,” 1/day fly 30 feet. “Bear Pride Flag,” 1/day briefly doubles your strength. “Drag-on King,” 1/day briefly boosts your AC. Sashays & Shields : This ball competition consists of walking like a supermodel down the catwalk in full armor with a shield. Dex checks. Don’t fall. Grizzelich will judge you on dance, beauty and realness. After each walk the loser has one of their three chunks of runway drop away until one falls to their doom. Dance Houses : Each wall has a viewing booth occupied by the ghosts of previous competitors who now occupy one of the four dance houses: Queen, King, Genderfuck or Camp.

This week’s guest is game designer, writer, sensitivity reader, and editor Jacqueline Bryk . We talk about her background in diplomacy and how that fits into how she designs games, TTRPG safety tools as a language of communicating with each other, and her surrealist fiction zine The Pinesorrow Collection, Vol. 1 , a love letter to atmospheric storytelling. We discuss her LARP games like Send N00ds and solo games like Just A Little Time , I Have No Railgun And I Must Scream , and Butterfly On The Wheel , and her upcoming A Thousand Yards Of Lace , a hack (with permission) of Thousand Year Old Vampire . Follow Jacqueline: https://linktr.ee/rufflejax — This cathedral has a checkerboard floor, a large chandelier made of stainless steel championship belts, and a boxing ring in the center. Inside of the ring is a coffin containing Eva Slaughter “The Red Reign of Pain,” a yoked goth-girl boxer. The Devil himself says that if someone doesn’t step up to marry Eva’s ghost, he’ll drag her soul to hell. An eccentric cast of boxing champions stand in a circle around the ring on glowing rune-inscribed tiles giving eulogies. They then look at you to complete the circle. Ghost Marriage : If you choose to go through this ritual, you’re bound to Eva’s ghost, who rises, dukes up, from the coffin. A wispy ghost ring wraps around your finger, tethering you to your new ghost wife. Burn effigies of money and other items for her to use in the afterlife or she’ll haunt you.

Support the Abyss of Hallucinations Kickstarter here! Fully funded and all stretch goals are unlocked! Follow Max: Website - Instagram — This immaculate, gold-plated room has 1d100 gold heads scattered around the floor. Gold fairies are stoned and having a good time. They’re making these heads as macabre costumes, with their head through a hole in the top, arms through the ear holes and their legs coming out of the neck hole. They can fly while wearing the heads. They’ll offer you their fairy weed and try to talk you into the hotbox. The Hotbox: This phone booth sized box has three chambers. The topmost contains molten gold in a magic crucible above the door. Below that is a chamber large enough for a human to stand in. Once the door is closed, the molten gold is poured over their head. A guillotine mechanism severs the head and contains it in the “head chamber.” A trap door grate opens beneath the chamber, dropping the body down a chute into the compactor pit filled with waist-deep, gold-flecked blood. The walls then compact to turn the corpse into a meat cube, then eaten by an amorphous carrion devourer made primarily of eyeball stalks.

Follow Alex: Website - XTwitter — The Fen is a mix of nuclear waste and slimy frog skin. Nuclear barrels float next to hundreds of bowling-ball-sized disembodied Frogore eyes that watch you and blink. Supplicants live in huts on long legs that stick out of the water, connected by a network of docks with a canoe for every hut. You can use canoes to reach the five idols , 10-foot stone images that’ve drifted to the center of the lake. You can summon Frogore by either turning them to face the center of the lake, or arrange them in the shape of Frogore. Frogore : This froghemoth elder god has hundreds of eyes that fall off of its body, and grow back just as fast. If you give it an offering of booze and nuke, Frogore will bless you with its ooze, giving you a mutation. A loot pile of discarded offerings rests at the bottom of the lake. Mutation chart : 1- prehensile sticky tongue. 2- Grow five bulging eyes that can see underwater. 3- Leap 4x as high. 4- Caustic slime coats your body. 5- Webbed hands & feet. 6- Amphibious.

Follow James: Website - XTwitter - Patreon MD 232 Paper Pirates of the Renegade Heart All sides of this room are a treasure map . Once you enter the room, the door becomes a drawing as well, trapping you inside. Bones of the people who starved to death before they solved the puzzle or joined the crew line the floor. Only living 3D people can solve the puzzle. Puzzle : There’s no escape unless you can fix the six jumbled elements hidden within the map. The final jumble is that one wall is too long. You must fold in either side to correct the image and reveal the “X” that the treasure will come out of. Treasure : The Crown of the Pirate King is a document giving you the legal title of Pirate King that’s folded into a wearable crown, and releases the crew of the Renegade Heart . These 2D pirates living in the walls of the map can only escape the map when someone is crowned the Pirate King. These pirates belong to a massive polycule where they can vote to bring you into the 2D map and poly relationship. Then you must wait for someone else to come by and save you.

Follow Tyler: Website - Discord - XTwitter - Instagram - Facebook -- MD 231 - Tiny Tarts with Big Hearts As you enter Tiny Tarts , a romantic restaurant, you’re greeted by a lich maître d' wearing a nametag that says “Tart.” Tart stands at a podium that’s covered in blooming shrink shrooms. They’ll explain the rules of the room, and with your permission, shrink you down with the shrink shrooms’ spore gas. From the podium, you zipline to Shinkland, which looks like a grapefruit hockey puck in the center of the room. Shrinkland : This crowded, pocket-sized carnival adventure park is quite romantic, but rife with dangers. The zipline lands you in an oversized garden, but be wary of garden mites and living thorny roses. From here you can enjoy the other carnival games: bug wrangling pit, marksman range, flea circus, strawberries big enough to feed 20 people, and a pretzel with jello and pudding in the holes for spicy wrestling. On bad days, rats the size of dragons will attack Shrinkland, devouring everything. To become unshrunk, you must find someone to be in a consenting, mutually beneficial relationship (that can be aromantic), and leave as a pair holding hands through the Tunnel of Love .

One moves the orb north/south, and the other east/west. There are two pairs of cyber goggles . One that allows you to see the north/south walls and the other the east/west walls.

You can heal Janet’s magical wounds to calm her down, but to break the curse you must bring her true love before her.

The proprietors are Keeper , a kindly middle-aged woman who’ll train you to see a TacocaT, and Sage , an old, bearded, zen dude with long hair who’ll teach you to symbiotically bond with a TacocaT. They’re both wearing deer antlers covered in hanging crystals. To see a TacoCaT, you must clear your mind and think only taco thoughts. When you do, there’s a ton of them. They’re everywhere and it’s cat chaos. They’re pouring out of an interdimensional TacocaT waterfall into a cuddle puddle pool in the center of the room. A TacocaT is an adorable, squamous, symbiotic dream cat from the elemental plane of tacos. They have hard-taco-shell armor with fur tufts poking out between their plates, a hot-sauce hiss, and excrete delicious churros. When you bond with a TacocaT, they can regurgitate an infinite amount of tacos of whatever variety you can imagine, and they can attach to you to create a full body TacocaT armor.

The Kickstarter is live now though Sep. 8, 2023. Follow Necrotic Gnome: Website - FB - IG - XTwitter -- In the center of the room is the Cauldron of Sadness. It has arms to stir itself and quick legs that dance and leap, yet it never spills a drop. It has a duality of goblin faces on either side. One is the quintessential personification of sadness, the other of happiness. The game: PCs secretly write down six items that are connected to their past. Designate three as happy and three as sad. These items appear on tables. The cauldron tells you to each choose an item that isn’t your own, and add it to the cauldron. PCs tell the cauldron when they're done adding items. Resolution: If more sad items were added, it opens a portal of sadness, and sorrow begins to take over the world. If more happy items were added, a portal of happiness. If an equal amount of happy and sad items were added, the cauldron shrinks down and becomes a small pouch. Once a day you may draw from the pouch to pull out a specific item that is meaningful to whoever you’re targeting. Roll a d6: 1-3 the item makes them sad, 4-6 the item makes them happy.

MD 225 Idea Pool w/ Joshua Therrien
This week’s guest is Dragon Warrior and Tiger Wizard’s forever dungeon master Joshua Therrien . We talk about game mastering, preparing to run campaigns and deep diving into world building his campaign settings for The Scouring Campaign, The Wasteland Campaign and The Malagorn Campaign. -- Catwalks look down into the Idea Pool where aquatic creatures swim through liquid infinity. Elias Thugburger tells you the rules. Pay him a meaningful memory (lose it forever), and in exchange you may put together a fishing rod and cast it into the Idea Pool. The memory you put in influences what you pull out. Assemble your fishing rod by choosing one rod, reel, hook and bait. Add up the combined numeric value of the four items: 4) World-enhancing idea. 5-8) Banal idea. 9-11) World-changing idea that spawns a new religion. 12) World-ending idea. Rods: Corn stalk (1), Harpoon (2), Spine (3) Reels: Snail (1), Celestial hair (2), Hoof (3) Hooks: Molten plasma (1), Kraken beak (2), Superglued toenails (3) Bait: Gummy worms (1), Old boot (2), Photo of your best friend (3) Cast your line to pull out a fish who whispers the idea in your ear. Once put into the world, this idea spreads like a virus, passing sonically, from mouth to ear to brain, and it never leaves one’s brain.

Simian trolls catch and feed moranges to their master Citrol. Moranges : Peeling this feathered fruit reveals meat of glowing, shimmering stars. When picked, wings sprout and they soar around the room. You have to catch it to eat it, earning the right to consume the memories of the multiverse. Eat the fruit and gain +1 on an intelligence stat for 24 hours, and learn the memories of one person. A juicing machine is hidden away in the corner.

We then dig into the art and gameplay of Goblin Vaults . Follow Thunderworks Games at: Website - FB - IG - Twitter — Dance Dungeon : Water tubes line massive mirrored walls to power the water wheel torture machine. This device has a lever that goes from “little jig” to “dance machine.” Tethers connect goblins to the machine and Lockwork Goblin. Lockwork Goblin : A colossal goblin-shaped golem, made of thousands of locks of all types, has exterior ledges and steps to climb it if you’re agile enough. It’s lonely and wants friends, so it violently brainwashes goblins with the machine to be its pal and perform dance numbers. In the center of its torso is a prison cell containing goblins pleading for you to save them. Its forehead contains a vault door that leads to emotional baggage and gold. It has hundreds of scraggly teeth that are one-use magic keys that’ll open any lock. Dance Goblins : Converted goblins wear red thriller jackets, a lock necklace and are tethered by the head to the Lockwork Goblin. The tether is like an addiction, with strong withdrawals when detached. Rewiring works 100% on goblins, but has a 50% success rate for everyone else.

Posters of other champion finalists line the walls. The judges booth juts out from the center of the 2nd level. Trap : A large cage drops over anyone around the microphone, and minotaurs drench you with bad blood to enrage Nightmare Folklore who emerges from the floor. Fight or out perform the jazz bull to score points with the judges. A minotaur jazz band accompanies the fight from an orchestra pit. Nightmare Folklore : This giant, intelligent jazz bull has horns like saxophones. “Fighting is like jazz. You have to break tradition.” Timing is important against his sonic attack (damage & save or be deafened), but jazz has variable timing with his hoof stomping (haste or slow effect). Judges : Matador Dave (the spiritual wizard), Thragg (long retired dungeon delver with sorrowful eyes), and Labyrinth Larry (makes mazes for the local newspaper) each have a red buzzer they hit when they don’t like something.

This week’s guest is Brian Shutter. We talk about Neon Lords of the Toxic Wastelands . Swingin’ swords and choppin’ lords vs. mutants and mullets. Gonzo vomit punk cassette-futurist RPG. New adventure Space Bulk involves interstellar space trucks around orbital space stations. Neon Lords of the Toxic Wasteland “Total Carnage Edition” had a successful Kickstarter!

Follow Brian on Facebook – Instagram – Twitter – YouTube and check out Brian on GWAR’s podcast -- Gross-o-matic 4000 , the number one tourist attraction of Dusseldorf: This steam-powered Rube Goldberg gumball machine takes up the whole room and works like this: Insert one gold coin - dominos fall - an accordion hits F# - a goat screams - an infernal chicken squawks and lays an egg that is the plastic capsule - a giant axe swings down to cut open a thin gel (save or take axe damage) - the capsule plops through the gel and onto the floor… better catch it.

Inhaling the smoke causes you to start throat singing. Throat-legs stretch from the ground leading to an organic sculpture of Nakenben sitting on a raised altar. Offering a sacrifice will reveal the true Nakenben. You might be an unwitting sacrifice. The spider god Nakenben has eight heads with long, singing throats for legs. Each head eats bodies whole, stripping them down to their naked bones, and leaving holy relic bone-scrolls covered in glowing sigils.

Vainglory Hole : This room is bisected. On one side is a washroom with three magic mirrors promising a better you. Mirror 1 (Charm Hole): Shows you with great charisma, beautiful, a leader. Mirror 2 (3rd Eye Hole): Shows you with a 3rd eye in your forehead and with infinite cosmic power. Mirror 3 (Power Hole): Shows you with massive muscles and dexterous ability. None of the mirrors do what they promise. There’s a stand that’s holding instructional pamphlets on how to use the magic mirrors and their benefits. A lock box labeled “tips” is there for you to leave some money, but it’s trapped with a slime shotgun if you attempt to steal the money. A wash basin filled with stinging salty water has a sign that reads, “Rinse after using the mirrors.” Unbeknownst to the PCs, on the other side of the wall is a gremlin beauty salon. When you push your face through the mirror, it sticks to the magic material, tears off your face, then drops your slimy face into a face-goo container that the gremlins use as a beauty product. The gremlins simply continue cutting hair and gossiping about the dungeon.

Ichor Heart of War-Den : This swampy room comes to life when you enter the chamber. Veins move black ichor throughout these walls and ceiling made of flesh and machine. Sprinkles of black ichor fill the room, making it difficult to breathe. The floor slants toward the center like a bowl, shifting and popping you into the air towards War-Den (Dex save). War-Den is a 10-ft., sentient, beating robot heart of black diamond who’s spewing noxious fumes into the air. A legendary, emerald skull hovers above them. Their veiny, needle-tipped tendrils attempt to pump you full of the black ichor to turn you into a pollutor.

MD 202 Shrine of the Technosaurus Rex with Zac Goins
Shrine of the Technosaurus Rex : This room is covered in thick, sloppy, dripping layers of colorful paint. Each wall has a massive throbbing orifice that’ll occasionally spray a deluge of paint into the room. In the center of the room is a mound of paint covering long-dead cyber-sloths cultists, reaching to pull the lever that summons the T-Rex. An eldritch dial surrounding the lever can be moved to change the orifice liquids, 99% chance it’s paint. Under the layers of paint, in a corner is a see-through gun-locker filled with magic acetone that’ll destroy paint and drain the color from anything. On the walls, under the paint, are the instructions on using the dials and summoning the T-Rex. The T-rex is actually a painting service that’s violently malfunctioning, but can be fixed. It has a bite, stomp, tail whip and a harvestable tongue that’s a wand of paint spraying. If you are hit, save or suffer the following conditions: Yellow Bile : Stinks & sickens.

When you return it’s always +1 image. PCs must stand in a colored quadrant and say the color of the item in the sequence. Fail: get shocked for 1hp.

Epic Levels' first Kickstarter - Armor Classy CDungeon
We discuss our new Kickstarter project that launched today Friday, Dec. 9, and has funded! The Armor Classy CDungeon is a full-color, system-agnostic tabletop role-playing game adventure module based on Epic Level’s debut album Armor Classy , packaged in a digipak case with the full album on CD. Support our Kickstarter here: Epic Levels - Armor Classy CDungeon Inspired by a post-Gamehole Con visit to Wisconsin oddity attraction The House on the Rock, this mini-adventure features a ten-room dungeon crawl suitable for characters of any level written by Steve Albertson and illustrated by Tiger Wizard. "We wanted to release something that would be a collectable art artifact," says Tiger Wizard, "that's also related to our music. It's been super fun drawing such a random assortment of oddball items and creatures, from whales to demons to smoking cauldrons." In this adventure, Jordana Lex is throwing one of her famous swingin’, groovy, lounge parties in her space-age bachelor pad mansion. This year’s theme is “armor classy,” where warriors are encouraged to indulge in fun-loving hedonism, modernity, art, music & fashion. Come to mingle, or test your might in her deadly mansion to claim her latest acquisition, the DMG Codex. Beef up your armor and weapons before you fight your way through diabolical cocktail parties, skeletal mammoths, tengu assassins, a satyr sorcerer, unicorn-headed nymphs, trippin’ liches, a carousel gauntlet, minotaur playboys, a whale vs. kraken fight, and musical puzzles to solve. "I loved meshing the themes of our songs with The House on the Rock's gonzo weirdness," says Albertson." We spent a year-long campaign in Tom Moldvay's 1981 Castle Amber module and wanted to bring that same excitement of having no idea what might be on the other side of a door." -- Thanks for listening to the Epic Levels Mad Dungeon podcast, where D&D hip hop group Epic Levels and a guest create a system-neutral, playable one-page adventure map using improv, comedy, and lifetimes wasted on roleplaying games.

MD 019 Head Kicker! The Musical w/ Brian Shutter (Neon Lords of the Toxic Wasteland)
You’re a tourist visiting the sweet-smelling hometown of Connor Woodpond, the one-hit-wonder mega-star who wrote your favorite song, “Furry Boots and Slick Razors,” but he hasn’t been seen in years. There’s something about this town that just makes you want to sing your feelings. After your opening number, a mysterious figure in a trenchcoat and fedora implores you to save the rec center from Head Kicker and his bitchin’ Camaro gang, The Mutated Mullets. This week’s guest is Brian Shutter . We talk about Neon Lords of the Toxic Wastelands . Swingin’ swords and choppin’ lords vs. mutants and mullets. Their appendix N contains no books, but it does have music and movies like Mad Max and The Warriors. Brian’s favorite movie is Dawn of the Dead (1978) and we talk about the different VHS covers that were available. Brian does a show called “ Wax Pax Massacres ” where they open old trading card packs and eat the 40-year-old gum from it. Neon Lords of the Toxic Wasteland "Total Carnage Edition" on Kickstarter! His new kickstarter is up and we talk about stretch goals of temporary tattoos, pogs, and we recommend xeno smut posters and Lord Randy action figures. In this game, character creation’s most important aspect is your hairstyle, and “attitude” is how cool you are in civilization, but sleaze (anti-charisma) is how much respect you get in the Wastelands. Follow Brian on Facebook - Instagram - Twitter - YouTube -- Thanks for listening to the Epic Levels Mad Dungeon podcast, where D&D hip hop group Epic Levels and a guest create a system-neutral, playable one-page adventure map using improv, comedy, and lifetimes wasted on roleplaying games.

Lich lord Scapulator has built Crush Hammer Gym, a colossal skyscraper in the shape of a muscled arm flexing with a bulging bicep.

Can the PCs stop Scapulator before he can initiate his world-ending punch of vengeance?

Fairies have kidnapped the dwarven children of the Iron Helm Corp. and the PCs are tasked with rescuing them.
