FLAVOR TEXT: Dungeons & Dragons

in , , ,

You enter a room, extinguished candles smolder upon sconces that fill the dark alcoves all around you. Your vision is limited unless you have darkvision. Do any of you have darkvision? Oh you do? Oh you all do? Nevermind, you see everything just fine but in greyscale. Also, the door was actually a mimic. The carpet is a mimic too. Roll initiative.

We gather in this nameless tavern today to dive into the history, deep lore, and fun knolwedge bits of Dungeons & Dragons. Join us as we discuss the origin of the world's greatest roleplaying game, the differences in prior editions, a discussion into just how fantastic of a character the Raven Queen is, and ending with a fun game of "Is it a D&D Adventure Module or is it a Quest from a Video Game?"

Special thanks to our favorite 20-sided dice rolling agent of chaos, "@whomstrodomus" for commissioning today's episode. If you're interested in comissioning your own FLAVOR TEXT, come check out our patreon at patreon.com/debatethiscast.

The Office Drones DX: Book 2

As the Spooktacular Express pulls out of its final Rainforest Café for the year, the DT! crew wanted to take time to reflect on the journeys we taken together and the friends we made along the way--exclusively related to our Patreon-exclusive D&D real-play podcast, The Office Drones! That's right, it's time for a clip show, baybee. Continuing the tradition of last year's supercut of the first five episodes and the introductory Episode 0, please enjoy this second Director's Cut version of the Marketing arc, which represents Episodes 6-10.

If you don't know what this is and a D&D real-play podcast featuring real-life office employees fighting D&D monsters with JIRA tickets and HR benefits summaries sounds like nonsense, then check out the first of this Director's Cut series originally uploaded in November 2021 titled "The Office Drones DX: Book 1." And, if you like this and want to hear more, please consider subscribing to our Patreon at $5/month for access to all current and backlogged episodes of the show!

Special thanks to Tom Zalatnai for guesting on these episodes a whole two years ago! Go listen to their show, No Bad Food, available on all major podcast apps, or at https://podcavern.com/category/no-bad-food/.

Episode 60: My Thirteen Dads

in , , ,

There's nothing quite like being a parent. Teaching your child the ways of the world, watching them grow, and passing down a condensed shard of pure magic that can summon the hellish avatar of their departed mother who sacrificed herself to a death cult masquerading as a monotheistic religion! On today's episode, Kyle, Matt, and Todd pass down their fatherly wisdom to their collective son, Andrew, to help him fight off his schoolyard bully with the help of extraplanar demigods from the Final Fantasy series.
