The long-delayed sixth season of MDC begins on Christmas 2023! It's about Alien Hunger, a 1991 jump-start adventure for Vampire: the Masquerade, and it's going to run for twelve weeks with the same daily episode/weekly megasode format you remember. This episode's music is "Suck City" by Black Math, whose work you can find at https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Black_Math/

For reasons beyond my control, I can't release Season 6. This short update explains why, and touches on the future of the show (in short: start downloading the backlog before it disappears from the internet).

Listen to find out when the new season of MDC will begin (spoilers: June 13th), which book I'll be covering, and news about the MegaDumbCast Patreon. Music: Suck City by Black Math is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution License.

In a final, bonus episode of Season 5, we discuss the high points and low points of The Revenge of Kang, the final module in the Time Warp adventure series for TSR's Marvel Super Heroes Roleplaying Game. After that, I offer a point-by-point outline of the changes that I would make the module before running it at my own table.
