Dungeons and Dweebs Podcast

The end of Three and Three and our run through The Sword of Truth by Terry Goodkind is almost here! LFFC Neal gives his thoughts on book ten Phantom before we reach the end of the series.

LFFC Neal has recorded book nine of the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind's episode of Three and Three to release as a Valentine's present to you all! Although he says "So" way too many times in this episode he hopes that you all forget it due to a Chainfire event. We hope that you enjoy the episode and that you have a great day wherever you are!

After a brief delay, LFFC Neal returns to discuss book eight Naked Empire of Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series. After the debacle (in his opinion) that was Pillars of Creation, does Goodkind right the ship or do the struggles persist? Give a listen to found out at least one person's thoughts!

LFFC Neal returns and gives up his three and three format and brings to you Three and One today as he gives his thoughts on book seven of the Sword of Truth Series by Terry Goodkind. As was alluded to in the last podcast, Pillars of Creation is his least favorite of the series, today he explains why this one is at the bottom of the list. Give a listen to find out what that reason is!

Episode Six of Three and Three brings us Least Favorite Fourth Chair Neal's favorite book in the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind: Faith of the Fallen. Are there nits for him to pick or is it all sunshine and rainbows? Give a listen to find out! (Spoiler: there are nits to pick). And join us next week as the least favorite book gets looked at!

The new year has brought with it book five of Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series into the realms of Three and Three. As Least Favorite Fourth Chair Neal goes through Soul of the Fire, does his rose tinted glasses keep him from seeing the negatives in this book or are there obvious things that need to be discussed? You'll have to give it a listen to find out!

After a quick holiday break, Least Favorite Fourth Chair Neal returned to his even more pseudo studio than our original one to record the fourth episode of Three and Three and he continued with Terry Goodkind's fourth in the series Temple of the Winds. Some of the events in the novel are a little too current for 2020, but he still pressed on to give you some of the positives and negatives of the book. Hope that you all had a safe and happy holidays!

Though a day late, Least Favorite Fourth Chair Neal has recorded his third episode of Three and Three as he dips into the third book of the Sword of Truth novels by Terry Goodkind: Blood of the Fold. This week he even breaks his own rules and has a fourth negative thing instead of just three! The shame of it all!

Here he goes again! Least Favorite Fourth Chair Neal has gone back and recorded the second part of his series into the world of Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series. This episode brings you his sometimes right and sometimes wrong thoughts about book two of the series Stone of Tears. We hope that you enjoy this bite sized episode!

Dungeons and Dweebs returns as our Least Favorite 4th Chair Neal begins a short (episode length) series on Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind where he discusses three things he likes about the book and three things he didn't like. The plan is to continue this series through the end of the main novels in the series.

Like a good Force Ghost when the hero needs help, the D&Dweebs boys are finally back from the great beyond! Join Bob, Klab, Luke, and Neal as we touch nubs, gamble, and desperately try to form a coherent thought from our individual quarantine bunkers! Finally, it's time kick our X-wings into high gear, set s-foils into attack position, and finish Star Wars: Jedi Search!

Hey! We're still here! Come jump in and hear what we're been up to. Normal episodes to resume soon!!

"The Mos Eisley Spaceport...you'll never find a more wretched hive of scum, and villainy....we must be cautious." Fast, healthy, fresh Rodian juice can be yours in just seconds with the "Original Wuher Power Juicer". This commercial quality unit has special, patented juice extraction technology which extracts up to 30-Percent more juice from sentients than other juicers. The 1,138 RPM motor packs a punch, but operates quietly-so you can run it in the basement of your local establishment without bothering the patrons. Extra-large feeder chute ensures easy juicing of a wide variety of the galaxy's species, and dishwasher safe parts make cleaning a breeze. On this Deeper Delve we begin with author Dave Wolverton's tale of the Hammerhead: Momaw Nadon. What would the Burning Man festival look like on Tatooine? We'll slip on our "drug rugs" and follow this intergalactic tree hugger as he learns the true meaning of the "Law of Life". But our twisted tales won't end there. David Bischoff regales us with what is probably one of the weirdest tales in all of the Star Wars Legends. What does Jeffery Dahmer have in common with our favorite Tatooine bartender? Give a listen and find out!

"The Mos Eisley Spaceport...you'll never find a more wretched hive of scum, and villainy....we must be cautious." Once again, we light a cigarillo of Tabac, pour a tall one of Gamorrean Hooch, and settle back to discuss two more tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina. On this Deeper Delve we begin with legendary author Timothy Zahn's tale of the Tonnika Sisters: Brea and Senni....only it turns out it's really Shada and Karoly! Confused.....just wait. What's a Hammertong? If you think it's something you use for barbecuing, well your close.....it is used for barbecuing a planet. We then go on an adventure with the thieving hi jinx of Tatooine's bumbling duo Muftak and Kabe. The Clone Wars may have said Muftak's species lived on a snow planet, but in this story, it's all cocoon's and tropics under an azure sky. But will you get you fill of Juri juice from this story, or will it leave you hanging like Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible?

"The Mos Eisley Spaceport...you'll never find a more wretched hive of scum, and villainy....we must be cautious." "In a far off corner of the universe, on the small desert planet of Tatooine, there is a dark, nic-i-tain-filled cantina where you can down your favorite intoxicant while listening to the best jizz riffs in the universe." Don't worry....you have the Dweeber crew at your side, and that means free drinks for all....even from a tight fisted barkeep like Wuher. On this Deeper Delve we begin our foray into the every dark and dingy recess of the famous Mos Eisley Cantina, as we review the stories in 1995's Tales From the Mos Eisley Cantina" edited by Kevin J Anderson. We'll start with two of the more well known of the Cantina's patrons: Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes, and Greedo! So grab a mug of Juri Juice and give a listen......the desert winds of Tatooine are hot, but the smooth sounds of Figrin D'an's Jizz will keep you feelin' cool!

While Santa may be getting ready to jump in the sleigh and deliver toys to all the good girls and boys, the Dungeons and Dweebs crew is boarding a Lambda class shuttle with Moruth Doole and delivering a stash of glitterstim spice to all the paranoid freeloaders of a galaxy far far away. With "Rise of Skywalker" on the big screen, "The Mandalorian" on the small screen, and a new video game in the console......... why not jump back 25 years and talk about a book that has now become Legendary?! Join us as we review Jedi Search by Kevin J Anderson. If blob races, force paddling, and sun crushers don't get you excited, then how about the force ghosts of dead Sith Masters? It's like "A Christmas Carol" only with not nearly as many profound life lessons. Although, I'm sure there's some sort of morality tale buried somewhere between pill popping, amorous amphibians and toddler juggling Jedi.... Bob, Luke, Klab, and Neal are here to lend a little unnecessary commentary on a long forgotten chapter in the Star Wars universe. Happy Holidays from Dungeons and Dweebs!

Watch out, kids!  Grandpa Chaos is loose, and he's angrier than a fire dragon trying to blow out birthday candles!  The D & Dweebs crew is here to join the fight against Chaos with...well, our own chaos!  Warning: This Episode is All and Nothing at the same time!  Strap on your best light or dark armour, cinch up your robes of many colors, and join Bob, Luke, Klab, and Paul as we hurl ourselves head first into the abyss in order to try to save Krynn from being wiped out of existence by Grandpappy's temper tantrum at not being able to understand kids these days!  Hold on for the wild dragon ride that is Dragons of Summer Flame Part 2!

Wait...this is a group of stories that don't really interact with each other? Join Bob, Luke, Klab, and Paul as we explore our dark sides, attempt to pass tests, and deal with our collective issues about our fathers. It's time to watch the kids of our Dragonlance heroes in this, the epic return of the Hickman/Weis team up! Join us round the Inn of the Last Home fire for "Dragonlance:The Second Generation" Part 1

"Call me Ishmael".... Well....at least in the Dragonlance version of the tale we get a monster whose name hasn't become the cause of adolescent snickering in English classrooms all across America. But at the same time, Ishmael is a far cry from......Duder?! Well....as you can expect, the D&Dweebs boys have alot to say about this "Beast from 20,000 fathoms!" So; "you grab a line and D&Dweebs will grab a pole, and we'll all go fishing in the Istar hole!" You don't want to miss our review of "The Blood Sea Monster!"

The First two Dragonlance Trilogies were huge successes for TSR, and very quickly, the company's publishing division began spinning off all kinds of supporting books and anthologies. In this episode we take a look at the first story included in the Anthology book Dragonlance Tales: The Magic of Krynn. Riverwind gets the spotlight with a piece of poetry by resident Dragonlance poet-laureate Michael Williams. Grab a cupper of your favorite beverage, and join us around the tavern fire as we discuss "Riverwind and the Crystal Staff."

The Magic will not solve your problems. By the beard of Reorx is that the truth!!! Join Bob, Luke, Klab, and Paul as we dust off our robes of many colors, load up our homemade trinkets and trifles, and make our way to a few flea markets and county fairs around Krynn. The D&Dweebs boys may even end up at a good old fashioned Southern "Big Tent Revival!!" My brothers and sisters, prepare yourselves to be saved by the power of the Soulforge.....Part 2!

It is said a Mage's soul is forged in the crucible of magic. Well this episode is forged in the heat of a humid, sweat-infused basement recording studio, and quenched in the amber gold of the Rocky Mountains. It's the SUMMER OF LANCE 3: LANCE HARDER! The D&Dweebs crew is hanging out with little Raistlin and the Solace Bunch.What kind of shenanigans will this wily crew of young miscreants get into? Join Bob, Klab, Luke, and Paul as we become honorary members of the Little Magic Rascals. We delve deep into the past of Dragonlance's most enduring characters:Raistlin Majere. What are the early life experiences that shaped Raistlin and his brother Caramon into the heroes we all know and love? Why does Caramon defend his brother, even at the expense of his own dignity? Was Raistlin ever happy and carefree? Will the brothers enter their Pod-racer in the big Boonta Eve Classic race?.....er........that was a different prequel. Brew up a steaming cup of Tarbean tea, spike it with some Qualanesti Brandy, and join us around the Tavern Fire for our review of this solo novel by fan-loved author Margaret Weis.    

"Absence of noise is not a human condition; all human senses require some input." There is no danger of silence when the D&Dweebs Boys tackle an Arthur C. Clarke classic! Join Bob, Klab, Neal, and Paul as they pop the top, and free dive into the shiny space cylinder that is the world of RAMA! Note: The music used during the opening scene is the track "Rendezvous with Rama" from the musical composer STELLARDRONE. You can download his complete body of work here: https://stellardrone.bandcamp.com This is some amazing music to put on in the background while reading hard core science-fi. We here at Dungeons & Dweebs HIGHLY recommend Stellardrone!

It's the second part of our side-quest!  What happens when the 60's ends, the mind-expanding drugs go bad, and you realize you have kids? You send them packing to your sisters of course. To bad she has a bit of a hallucinogen problem and is under the influence of a grandfather who acts like John Wayne Gacy. But what do you care how the kids turn out, your to busy on your spirit quest in the deserts out side Sedona Arizona. What does this have to do with Dune? Probably nothing, but give a listen. Note: The bad audio continues!!! This is definitely NOT how you retain an audience, but thanks for giving it one more shot. Our next episode will be much better, but remember, it's Deeper Delves, we are recording in a dark dungeon, and can't see what settings are on the mixer, and Paul keeps knocking the @#$#&^! microphone in the dark! At least it's free!

It's the first episode of Deeper Delves! Our side-quest, where we delve even deeper into the literary universe we review on our main show. On this episode we take a mind expanding trip to explore what happens when the leader you thought was the Messiah, turns out to still contain human fallibilities.  Note: We experienced a few technical difficulties on this episode, and the sound is not the best, but we decided to release it anyway. Hey, It's a bonus, it's free, and it will probably anger you either way. So turn the treble down a bit, and pretend your listening to one of those crappy dub-tapes you made of the radio in the 1980's!

"I must not let my passion interfere with my reason." The D and Dweebs boys may have imbibed too much spice this time. Does Bob  and Luke learn how to fold space and time? Does Ted finally get to ride his worm? Does Danny P. follow the orders of the Bene Gesserit witch he has at home? And what the heck is Klab talking about? Join us as we wrap up Frank Herbert's classic! 

Dune is based on a complex imagined society set roughly 20,000 years in the future.  Dungeons and Dweebs is based on the idea that you can give a bunch of dudes in a basement a microphone and people will actually listen.  How will the Boys handle the tome that began the entire Dune Universe?  Will they be able to follow the intricate plot lines?  Will they understand the overarching importance of Herbert's prose and storytelling prowess?  Will someone uncomfortably talk about their "sand worm" for way too long?  Join Bob, Luke, Klab, Ted, and newbie Danny as they fire up their shields, jump in the ornithopter, and try to avoid being devoured in the desert, all while we politically plot each other's demise, in Frank Herbert's groundbreaking classic Dune!

From the depths of Deepgrave, Bob, Luke, Uncle Paul, and Neal have arisen to howl their views into the ink of the podcast universe with their second half review of Iron Gold by Pierce Brown.

War is hell.....but what of the aftermath? In his Red Rising Trilogy, Pierce Brown traced the meteoric rise of the slave Darrow, who's epic struggle for freedom became the stuff of legend. But can a legend maintain an Empire?  Join Dungeons and Dweebs as we explore just how heavy the crown weighs on a noble brow? Will Darrow, like Yurtle the Turtle fall from the heights to wallow in the mud once again? Or will he find balance and like Pocahontas paint with all the colors of Society? Listen as Bob, Luke, Paul, and Neal sort out the details and deal out the usual dose of long-winded diatribe. Time Stamps: Tavern Talk: 12:15 Iron Gold Review: 42:05

The Boys have returned to their pseudo studio round table in an attempt to rescue the fans of classic Star Wars from the clutches of the vile gangster Mickey the Mouse. Little do the Trolls know that the D & Dweebers have secretly begun construction on a new podcast episode even more powerful than the dreaded Prequels Trilogy.

Bob, Klab, Luke, and Neal are returning to the original Thrawn Trilogy to vote on the critical issue of how Dark Force Rising ends to assist the overwhelmed Jedi....

It is a dark time for the Podcast. Although the shipyard has been destroyed, Internet trolls have driven the D and Dweebs boys from their original base and pursued them to a pseudo studio. Evading what's left of the Imperial Starfleet, a group of Literature Reviewers led by their wits alone has established a new semi-secret base in which to review Book 2 of The Thrawn Trilogy.

Hoping to resolve the matter with a podcast of increasing debate, D & Dweebs has launched themselves into the second half of Heir to the Empire.

During this episode, Our panel managed to read secret plans to how STAR WARS was supposed to continue, The THRAWN TRILOGY, a beacon of hope to try to fill the STAR WARS void back in 1991. Pursued by the Internet's sinister agents, Bob, Luke, Klab, and Neal are now the custodians of the classicHeir to the Empire! Can the boys save LEGENDS and restore freedom to the galaxy.....

We were somewhere around Pax Tharkas on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold.
