Mad Dungeon

Season Finale - Goblin Kings and Popstars SingBat 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.ANNOUNCEMENTSDungeon Cats: Tiger Wizard's rules-lite TTRPG where you play feline adventurers is now available at Exalted Funeral. THE MEGA DUNGEON MEN EP: Our new TTRPG fantasy meets hip hop album, The Mega Dungeon Men EP is now available on all streaming platforms.JOIN OUR MAILING LIST by clicking the newsletter button at epiclevelsrapgods.com—Thanks for listening to Season Three of the Epic Levels Mad Dungeon podcast, where D&D hip hop group Epic Levels alternate between “Rise of the Vat Spawn,” an actual play using Mystic Punks RPG, and Side Quests where we interview other game creators.You can support us via Patreon for early episode releases, bonus map content, extra art, access to our discord server, and lots of other exclusive goodies.Get nerd merch and stay up to date with socials: HEREMad Dungeon is hosted by Andrew Bellury, Steve Albertson, Robin Bellury and produced by Zach Cowan.Theme song by Epic Levels and beat by Jay Domingo.© 2024 Epic Levels.

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.ANNOUNCEMENTSPAX Unplugged: December 6th through 8th in Philadelphia.

307 Goblin Guards & Credit Cards - Rise of the Vat SpawnThe 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.ANNOUNCEMENTSTHE MEGA DUNGEON MEN EP: Our new TTRPG fantasy meets hip hop album, The Mega Dungeon Men EP is out this now.

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.ANNOUNCEMENTSTHE MEGA DUNGEON MEN EP: Our new TTRPG fantasy meets hip hop album, The Mega Dungeon Men EP is out this Friday.

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. Will they be thrown into the slammer, or make a mystical escape from the fuzz?ANNOUNCEMENTSTHE MEGA DUNGEON MEN EP: Our latest song “More Than Meets the Eye” is out now on all streaming platforms.  This is leading up to our new TTRPG fantasy meets hip hop album, The Mega Dungeon Men EP, featuring Mega Ran, MC Frontalot and more.MYSTIC PUNKS KICKSTARTER: The Kickstarter for the core rulebook is live now, and includes art from our very own Tiger Wizard, and an entire adventure from Steve Albertson aka Dragon Warrior.FLUKE Mini-Comics & Zine Festival: Epic Levels will be attending this small press festival along with our pals at Mystic Punks RPG.

Hangin' Brains, the seamstress necromancer, demands that you choose necropants from the rack before she releases the nugglets on you. There's six styles of necropants made from human skin. They each have distended testicles and magically adhere when you put them on, becoming your skin.1- Purple-Veined Jeans: They'll form a coin barrier between your nutsack and the necropants' nutsack giving you immunity to the bite of the nugglet.2 - Harem: Made of loose and flabby skin, anyl movement blows the pants open to expose your scrotal region for easy chomping.3 - Bidol the Sentient Scrotal Sleeve: He'll editorialize what it thinks about your balls before belting out a “rebel yell” to call over the nugglets.4 - Necro Booty Shorts: You're cursed with Titmouse's irresistible animation.5 - Kilt of Many Circles: A breezy skirt covered in holes that expose your ballzak.6 - The Unreliable Codpiece: This platemail codpiece has a lock and key, but it intentionally opens up at the most inopportune times.Art: Tiger Wizard  Words: Steve AlbertsonStory by: Andrew Bellury, Steve Albertson, Chris PrynoskiANNOUNCEMENTSDungeon Cats  pre-launch page is now live on the Epic Level's Kickstarter! JOIN OUR MAILING LIST by clicking the newsletter button on epiclevelsrapgods.comTwo new poster adventure maps are now available for purchase at Exalted Funeral.—Thanks for listening to Season Two of the Epic Levels Mad Dungeon podcast, where D&D hip hop group Epic Levels and a guest create a system-neutral, playable dungeon room using improv, comedy, and lifetimes wasted on roleplaying games.You can support us via Patreon for early episode releases, bonus map content, extra art, access to our discord server, and lots of other exclusive goodies.Get nerd merch and stay up to date with socials: HEREMad Dungeon is hosted by Andrew Bellury, Steve Albertson, and produced by Zach Cowan.Theme song by Epic Levels and beat by Inner Resting.© 2023 Epic Levels.

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.Art: Tiger Wizard  Words: Steve AlbertsonStory by: Andrew Bellury, Steve Albertson, Jacqueline Bryk—ANNOUNCEMENTSDungeon Cats  pre-launch page is now live on the Epic Level's Kickstarter!We'll be be at PAX Unplugged in Philadelphia from Dec. 1st-3rd. Two new poster adventure maps are now available for purchase at Exalted Funeral.—Thanks for listening to Season Two of the Epic Levels Mad Dungeon podcast, where D&D hip hop group Epic Levels and a guest create a system-neutral, playable dungeon room using improv, comedy, and lifetimes wasted on roleplaying games.You can support us via Patreon for early episode releases, bonus map content, extra art, access to our discord server, and lots of other exclusive goodies.Get nerd merch and stay up to date with socials: HEREMad Dungeon is hosted by Andrew Bellury, Steve Albertson, and produced by Zach Cowan.Theme song by Epic Levels and beat by Inner Resting.© 2023 Epic Levels.

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.Art: Tiger Wizard  Words: Steve AlbertsonStory by: Andrew Bellury, Steve Albertson, Max MoonANNOUNCEMENTSDungeon Cats pre-launch page is now live on the Epic Level's Kickstarter!We'll be be at PAX Unplugged in Philadelphia from Dec. 1st-3rd.Two new poster adventure maps are now available for purchase at Exalted Funeral.—Thanks for listening to Season Two of the Epic Levels Mad Dungeon podcast, where D&D hip hop group Epic Levels and a guest create a dungeon room.You can support us via Patreon.

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.Art: Tiger Wizard  Words: Steve AlbertsonStory by: Andrew Bellury, Steve Albertson, Tyler Crumrine—This week Tiger Wizard teams up with celebrity judges David Hoskins and Erol Otus to discuss their judging criteria and their love of dwarves as they judge the winners of our Best Dwarf Drawing Contest in the break of this episode.ANNOUNCEMENTSDungeon Cats is now live on the Epic Level's Kickstarter!We'll be podcasting live at Gamehole Con in Madison on Oct. 19th- 24th. —Mad Dungeon podcast where D&D hip hop group Epic Levels and a guest create a system-neutral, playable dungeon room.You can support us via Patreon for early episode releases, bonus map content, extra art, access to our discord server, and lots of other exclusive goodies.Follow us HEREMad Dungeon is hosted by Andrew Bellury, Steve Albertson, and produced by Zach Cowan.Theme song by Epic Levels and beat by Inner Resting.© 2023 Epic Levels.

Andrew also answers several questions from friend of the show Jeremy Deram of People Them With Monsters.Follow Foundry VTT: Website - XTwitter - Bluesky--This room is covered in a thick fog. You can't see more than a foot in front of you. The floor goes uphill and has the pattern of a circuit-board maze of perpendicular lines that the Cyber Sisyphus, a boulder-size orb that glows neon blue, is to be navigated to a concave nest at the top. Each dead end has a floating proximity mine that explodes when the orb gets too close, knocking you back to the starting position. Hiding in the fog is Jack the Hacker, giving instructions on how the room works and mocking your failures.There are two levers on opposite walls. 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.

This week's guest is Matthew Grau of WildFire Games and we talked about his upcoming CthulhuTech: The Shadow War Quick-Start Rules (V2), working with the scumdogs of the universe to create his deck-building game Gwar vs. Time, his stint at Riot Games building the world of League of Legends, and growing up in the Twin Cities with D&D's Dave Arneson in his life.—Follow WildFire Games: Website - FB - DiscordThis pleasant cafe's walls are lined with tables and cat-condos covered in a menagerie of delicious tacos, hot sauce and churros. 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. A TacocaT chooses its symbiotic host and bonds for life.Art: Tiger Wizard  Words: Steve AlbertsonStory by: Andrew Bellury, Steve Albertson, Matthew Grau—This episode is sponsored by Exalted Funeral, and we talk about ARC: Doom Tabletop RPG by momatoes aka Bianca Canoza.

The floor is an unstable pile of 10-foot diameter wooden nickels. In front of you are three massive wheels that spin vertically every time the giant troll Gorm Gasher puts a new nickel in the slot hundreds of feet above you. Roll a DEX save to avoid being hit by the giant wooden nickel. A sign reads, “Three crowns wins the jackpot!” Wheel symbols: 1) Good-cherries, 2) tooth, 3) sausage nunchucks, 4) numeral 9, 5) eyeball, 6) crown.The game: Rig the wheels to hit the three crown jackpot, but remember the winning combination on the wheels are facing away from you. When you hit the jackpot, a magic crown prize materializes (1/day summon 4 ninjas or reroll one die). Then the floor opens up. You and the nickels spill into the giant casino's shag carpet floor, that to you is like a forest.Art: Tiger Wizard  Words: Steve AlbertsonStory by: Andrew Bellury, Steve Albertson, Chris O'Neill —Dungeon Cats is a rules-light, casual TTRPG by our own Tiger Wizard.

This week's guest is Gavin Norman of Necrotic Gnome. We talk about OSE - Old School Essentials, and his incredibly successful Kickstarter campaign for Dolmenwood RPG with Exalted Funeral. 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.Art: Tiger Wizard  Words: Steve AlbertsonStory by: Andrew Bellury, Steve Albertson, Gavin Norman--Sky ov Crimson Flame this Saturday from 7 - 9 pm EST on the Goodman Games Twitch channel. Dungeon Cats  pre-launch page is now live on the Epic Level's Kickstarter!We'll all be partying at Dragon Con in Atlanta  Aug 31 - Sep 4.We'll be podcasting live at Gamehole Con in Madison on Oct. 19th- 24th.  Armor Classy CDungeon is now available for purchase at Exalted Funeral. —Thanks for listening to Season Two of the Epic Levels Mad Dungeon podcast, where D&D hip hop group Epic Levels and a guest create a system-neutral, playable dungeon room using improv, comedy, and lifetimes wasted on roleplaying games.You can support us via Patreon for early episode releases, bonus map content, extra art, access to our discord server, and lots of other exclusive goodies.Get nerd merch and stay up to date with socials: HEREMad Dungeon is hosted by Andrew Bellury, Steve Albertson, and produced by Zach Cowan.Theme song by Epic Levels and beat by Mason Grant.© 2023 Epic Levels.

The moranges grow from his boughs. He knows which person each fruit is linked to. He has the face of an orangutan-troll in the center of the tree trunk and small, nubby arms to eat his own fruit. 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.
