Mad Dungeon – Détails, épisodes et analyse

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.

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.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

THE MEGA DUNGEON MEN EP: Our new TTRPG fantasy meets hip hop album, The Mega Dungeon Men EP is out this now. It features Mega Ran, MC Frontalot, Denkles and Dizzy the Bard dropping verses alongside Dragon Warrior and Tiger Wizard all set to nostalgic beats by Inner Resting. Give it a listen, share it with your friends, dance to it on TikTok.

NEW POSTER MAP: We have a new poster adventure map now available for purchase at Exalted Funeral based on our Mad Dungeon season one, episode 20, Song of the Shriekfrapp, with the legendary Erol Otus—who not only made the adventure with us, but also illustrated the 11×17 front-side poster image! 

The water is draining away at the secret golden oasis because of all the infighting between the adorable, ear-like loboids. Can you help the tiptoers, bouncers and striders to stop bickering and unite with their magic dance to save their home from being destroyed by the slumbering Shriekfrapp? I hear that it’s good luck to flip a gold coin into the water when you arrive.

Rob returns to their love/hate relationship with PUBG (PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds), but has no problem winning multiple chicken dinners on the latest 8x8 map, Deston.

Andrew finished running the Neon Lords of the Toxic Wasteland introductory adventure, Space Truckers Must Die. While Steve's character tried not to get addicted to vita-sticks, Sluggo Brand Neon Apple Snack Fruit Pies and plutonium nyborg (space meth).

In their D&D 5E game, Steve got into more political intrigue and survived an assassination attempt, and Andrew got into a boat pun-off with the other players as they fought a bevy of angels all due to Steve's character's lack of using the sending spell effectively.

News: BEHOLD! Andrew and Rob interview Levi Combs of Planet X Games about their latest kickstarter Big Eye Chungus, published by Exalted Funeral.

Rob chills out to the lo-fi hip hop soundtrack of Stacklands while Steve and Andrew make Katamari Damacy and Magic: The Gathering jokes.

Andrew went on a field trip to Athens, GA and saw Tim Cappello, the sax player from the lost boys play. He stopped by FLGS The Rook & Pawn game cafe and played Campy Creatures & Parks by local game company Key Master Games.

Both Steve & Andrew went to Southern Fried Gaming Expo and played a slew of pinball and ancient video games, test played Panda Cult Game's upcoming Wander: LaClucks Revenge the follow up to Wander: The Cult of Barnacle Bay. Then played Captain Sonar and The Thing: The Boardgame (2022) into the wee hours of the night.

Captain Spike and his PiRat vikings have pillaged the coast of its precious paper and kidnapped villagers saying things like, “you look like a rat queen.” The villagers have collected a small amount of money to hire you to help them. The village leader introduces you to a swarm of rats in a trench coat who teleports you to The Witch of the Waves, a magical ship, to pursue Captain Spike to his lair so you can save the kidnap victims and stop this menace once and for all.

This week’s guest: Ed Greenwood. We talk about Lake Geneva, his character Elminster, creating The Forgotten Realms, and his clandestine meeting with Steve in Los Angeles. He’s recently worked on DMs Guild – Thay Land Of The Red Wizards. A new Volo’s Guide for a city we haven’t heard much from in the past.

He’s currently working with Andrew Valkauskas (creator/designer/publisher of the Fate Of The Norns RPG) on a complete, detailed fantasy city (Ath Cliath, or Viking-ruled Dublin, circa 835 AD) usable with any RPG but designed for Fate of the Norns: Ragnarok – The Children of Eriu. You can follow their progress via their Patreon.

Steve and Andrew conquer Castle Amber with their Hyperborea RPG characters. Lots of D&D 5E as Andrew races barbarian dragon riders for his annual birthday game, and they get into some political intrigue in their weekly 5E campaign between the orc hordes and their cyclops leader.

Andrew talks about Scythe and whether one should fight or farm with your massive steampunk mechs. He also played Survive: Escape From Atlantis where he flipped tiles and fought sea monsters, sharks & whales with his in-laws. 

News: Exalted Funeral is doing their Summer 2022 Convention and free RPG giveaway called Funeral Camp July 15-17. They're giving away goodies and hosting online games & panels. Justin Sirois from Severed Books made slasher camp themed swag like a Jason Voorhees D20 patch and sticker sheet.

Goodman Games are having their DCC Day on July 16 with cool store giveaways of adventure modules and seven new dice sets call Dice of the Fallen God, a companion piece to their Book of the Fallen God adventure. Find participating stores here.

Andrew & Steve will be attending Southern Fried Gaming Expo (July 15-17) in Atlanta, looking for the TTRPG section, but getting distracted by the massive amount of pinball machines.

Dragon Warrior & Tiger Wizard were guests on the latest episode (#390) of Dragon Talk, the official WotC Dungeons & Dragons podcast, where you can hear origin stories, the wild amount of things we're making for the RPG community and our process for making art.

Welcome to the Questing! Rob, true to form, is still grinding away at Elden Ring. We just want him to beat Melania in time for dinner.
