Kibo’s Corner of Eclectic Treasures: This pawn shop & apothecary has odds and ends hanging on the walls. Glass counters hold the valuable items. The most expensive item here is a lightsaber keytar. 

Kibo, The Failing Hope: She wears a cybernetic asthma mask over her pug face. Her large bulbous eyes look in opposite directions. Her lower torso has been replaced with metal spider legs. She exudes a breathy femme-fatal energy, while still being motherly, yet is prone to random bursts of zoomie energy. Kibo fosters competition between her pups, and will send them on quests with customers.

Kibo’s puppies: These commerce-savvy pups have their own glass counters to sell their wares. Maggot Mouth (mastiff) sells diseased items. Scorched Bone (beagle) sells destruction items. Black Ribbon (rottweiler) sells death items. Double Power (dachshund) sells disaster items.

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!

In this game, character creation’s most important aspect is your hairstyle and sunglasses. “Attitude” is how cool you are in civilization, but sleaze (anti-charisma) is how much respect you get in the Wastelands.

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.

This episode is sponsored by Exalted Funeral, and we talk about about the Old School Essentials Box Set with creator Gavin Norman (Necrotic Gnome), artists Erol Otus & David Hoskins, and publisher Matt Kelley (Exalted Funeral).

Old-School Essentials Classic Fantasy is a complete retelling of the classic 1980s Basic/Expert game, including all rules, character options, spells, monsters, and magic items.

Celebrating 40 Years of Basic/Expert!

The Basic/Expert game which Old-School Essentials is based on was published in 1981 — 40 years ago! In celebration of this anniversary, we're delighted and honoured to announce that Erol Otus, legendary creator of the original B/X covers, has painted a brand new cover for the Old-School Essentials Classic Game Set!

The Team:

Author: Gavin Norman

Nakenben’s Court: A cultist wearing a flayed skin cloak is posted at the door to warn you to not enter these sacred chambers. This desolate, muddy field is filled with webs of sinew and obscuring smoke. Slowly swaying discarded skin suits cover small smoking volcanoes, facing the altar as though at worship. 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.

Diesel Djinn: This gasoline-soaked airplane hanger hosts a clunky rocket pack that’s oozing diesel. Pull the ripcord (str check) to call forth Jason Sludgetham, an oozing Earth djinn (gasoline subtype) who powers the rocket pack and is always connected to the exhaust pipes. He wants nothing more than to be set free with a wish.

Complete his obstacle course to attune to the rocket pack, and he’ll grant you 3 wishes. 1) Fly through hoops that get smaller. 2) Pick up the heavy crate and deliver it to a high scaffolding. 3) Dead drop, cut off the engine to land on a small pad close to the deadly ventilating ceiling fans.

This room is guarded by one large, mischievous, flying diesel ooze.

Spudlings’ Secret Garden: This old retired couple are root vegetable monsters with poisonous tendril whips. He’s a potato in a speedo. She’s a carrot in a bikini. They’re cooking flayed skin underneath a huge heat lamp that deals UV damage to unprotected skin. They’re lounging in Adirondack chairs, basting the skin until it’s ready to eat. Around the chairs are the bodies of skinned adventurers. They feed their poison into beach umbrellas that occasionally spray the room with a poisonous mist.

This beachy room is their dream retirement spot where they construct pre-packaged and branded Spudlings’ Snack Traps for sale. Their workbench contains tools and a wide variety of deadly things like knives, spikes & acid.

Each wall has a “torture” device that they love to use, but would damage you. One wall has flailing, poisoned whips. A shotgun wall fires salt and birdshot. One wall is a cheese grater, and they sleep on a bed of nails. There's a printing press in the corner where they make fliers advertising their traps.

Idon’tcaribou and the Igloo Warriors: This barn is missing two walls. Outside is an infinite tundra of icy conditions, swirling wind, snow and frosty grass. Inside are lofts with hay and stalls containing normal caribou. Broken-off antlers litter the floor. A coat rack next to the door has fur-lined parkas that give you advantage against ennui and cold damage.

A massive igloo with smaller crunchroach igloos all over it is in the center of the room. This is the turtle-like shell of the Idon’tcaribou, a dire beast with antlers growing out of it in all directions. It gores with its antlers, which break off and immediately grow back in a new shape. It shoots freeze rays from his eyes and has a 10-foot aura of ennui that’s linked to the cold (crunchroaches are immune).

Ricksanthemum Garden: A field of flowers obscures a mysterious smoking chasm. Save when you enter the room or you're compelled to descend into the chasm to feed Rick all your good vibes. Veiled in the mist are carnivorous plants that’ll attack if you try any shenanigans. Opening two doors will air out the room and break Rick’s spell for everyone in the room.

Flower list: Deadly Peonies, Flaming Asters, Iron Roses, Orange Orchids, Tripping Daisies & Ugly Poppies. Wear the correct 3 flowers (orange, ugly & tripping to spell “OUT”) to counteract Rick’s smoke.

In the depths of the chasm is Ricksanthemum floating above a pyramid bouquet. He’s a hovering cow-skull demon with a unibrow, adorned with evil vines and flowers. Pheromone smoke billows from his eyes, mouth & flowers. Rick wants you to sacrifice yourself to him by staying here forever, sharing the beauty of the world.

This Flail Milk factory houses Crystal Shit, a three-headed cow beast who’s fused to the floor.

Neighbor Head: Their extendo-neck ends in one of the player’s actual neighbors’ head. It wears its utters like a jester’s cap, producing household cleaning products as milk.

Robo-Head: This cyber-head controls one spindly arm with utters in their armpit. Its milk powers the Tin Cuppers, and recharges batteries. They grow new minions in small birthing sacs.

Cow Head: She produces rage milk, throwing the drinker into a barbarian rage. Gaze attack, save or attack the closest person to you who isn’t Crystal Shit.

Tin Cuppers: These tin cans with handles fill themselves up with milk from the teats and bring it to vats.

Flail-Static Joe: This jumbotron A.I. hangs from the ceiling making sure that milk production and deliveries are happening on time. A lightning flail drops menacingly from it to ward off danger or discipline the workers. A mounted control panel can slow down or stop production, but that’ll make Joe mad.

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.

Pollutors are War-Den’s hive-mind cyborgs created to expel toxic fumes from their robotic parts to terraform the planet. Pollutors will always come to the aid of War-Den, especially if they or their emerald are taken.

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. Cyan Slow: Depression. That’s why they call it the blues. Black Slick:- Slippery like a grease spell. Magenta Brain Addle: Discuss your latest art project.

Welcome to the first episode our Season 2! This time around we'll create a single room with each of our guests until we've populated an entire Mad Dungeon!

This week we talk about our plans for 2023 and our sweet new Mad Dungeon format.

Room 201 - Celebratory Configuration: This cyberpunk room is quartered into red, blue, green & yellow sections, and is cluttered with discarded tech trash. A hoarding gremlin is organizing it all by color.

In the center of the room is an infernal Tandy 1000 computer with a robotic hand on the back holding the Floppy Demonic Discus. Insert the Discus and the computer will turn on with text reading: “Would you like to play? y/n”

The game: The computer will show a random sequence of ten images (Apple=red, Sun=yellow, Frog=green, Water=blue). 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. Succeed: glow sticks fly out of the computer screen and wrap around the PCs necks, healing all damage and raising morale as cenobite party imps appear and throw you a bangin’ party.

In our season one finale, you’re wearing holiday themed costumes while volunteering at the mall’s Christmas Town when an evil wizard dressed as Prancer unleashes a ghost-blizzard santa-storm that sends the mall into an arctic pocket dimension. You must assemble the Candy Cane of Doom, confront Necroprancer, and reverse his necrocamera spell to save the holiday season across the multiverse.

We finish up an exciting first season with a wholesome family episode to celebrate the holiday season with our very own producer Zach Cowan. We discuss holiday traditions before building you a very special holiday dungeon of necromancy and consumerism.

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."
