The Murder were set for a rematch against The Chumtickle Twins when a surprise competitor stole their spot. Don June, disgraced former stakeholder in The Dungeon Dome has returned to claim what he sees as his, by competing.
We kick off Season 1 of the Dungeon Dome with a Deathmatch between The Murder and The Chumtickle Twins. Lower Cercit heroes Just the Miz and Dandy Gorton take on the team disgracefully kicked out of the little league.
Figure Fighting has just been approved as an official Match type for the Dungeon Dome. This upper-class approach to blood sport demands the athleticism of gladiatorial combat and the grace of dance. Competitors coordinate with monsters to craft a fight that tells a story. Performances are graded on creativity and technical skill. The Dungeon Dome at all times requires a champion, so this first match is a title match. The two biggest names in the Figure Fighting world are facing off: Mega Starlight Surprise and Jessi Teladrin.
After startling revelations about the history between Benjin and Belan, and Areo and Clawd'sh experiencing love at first sight twice in the same match the teams are now forced to work together to fight a team of monsters. As always, in the Dungeon Dome, things are not as simple as they appear.

James D’Amato, creator of the One Shot group of tabletop gaming podcasts, stopped by to talk about his newest project, Dungeon Dome! Dungeon Dome will be presented to audiences as a series of matches between larger-than-life characters played out on the tabletop. It’s a delicious mashup of D&D and professional wrestling.

Links: One Shot Podcast One Shot's Youtube Twitch One Shot Network's Patreon The Dungeon Dome Kickstarter Show Notes: James views his creative work as using tabletop roleplaying as a storytelling medium. It's harder to build an audience than it was 5 years ago, but the podcasting buy-in is lower. Marketing is one of the primary challenges. James learned about and fell in love with RPGs in college. James practiced stand-up comedy in high-school. Other comedians just seemed like sad tired old men, and that didn't look like it led to a good place. He took an improv class and saw that the instructors didn't seem unhappy. He moved to Chicago to improve improv, and was introduced to Earwolf's "Improv for Humans." He and his friend Alex decided to create a show of their own Podcasting doesn't require passing through a rigid system to book gigs, and allowed them to set their own schedule. They created the Overshare, which was picked up by Peaches and Hot Sauce Patrick O'Rourke approached James and asked him to create an Actual Play RPG podcast. James saw that most Actual Play shows were DnD focused, when gaming is so much broader. They came up with a format that allowed them to tour different game systems with a rotating cast of guests. Their focus on a broader game base and high caliber performances helped them take off quickly. Starting now would be more difficult as podcast quality has generally risen over the years. Everyone has their own path into how they do what they do, and directly following someone else's path isn't effective, but if you look to the successes of a lot of people, you can figure out how to make "you" work. One of the big factors in One Shot's success was Pat O'Rourke's focus on quality equipment. If you're dong an Actual Play podcast, have a microphone for each player to have a competitive footing. James recommends the Yeti Blue Pro. It offers both USB and XLR line options, and is thus upgradeable. The free software Audacity is a perfectly adequate piece of software for every level of podcasting. James believes that Twitch is the future of entertainment along with Netflix and HBO. The successful production companies cater to narrow niches. Podcasting is radio on demand, Twitch is the equivalent of live television. Twitch is where the money is going to be. Time is their biggest limitation; One Shot Podcast is a full time job, but Twitch is also a full time gig. You will soon see RPGs designed to operate within what opportunities Twitch provides. James's new project is the Dungeon Dome, his first attempt to really take advantage of the medium. It's a PvP gladiator game, and he's running a kickstarter to fund it. The story arises from the procedural stories generated by the interactions between the characters. Spectators will be able to impact the matches. Backers will have greater influence. They can create items and events that are featured in matches. High level donors will be able to co-create characters that will exist within the context of the game space. The key is that they are offering engagement rather than exclusivity. After Dungeon Dome's first season of 15 episodes, James will focus on game design and new narrative projects. The bulk of One Shot's income comes through Patreon Patreon is not a place to build an audience, it is a place to monetize the audience you already have. You need to have the actionable audience. This audience is going to be 5-10% of your total fans for podcasts, less than 1% for less engaging art forms. Give yourself the time to grow before deciding if you're a success or failure. Podcasts are higher engagement than other media. You spend an hour or so a week with the hosts in your ear. This creates an intensely intimate investment. You are acting on this good will. You don't need to treat it like a product, or a kickstarter. You are giving the people who think of you as a friend the opportunity to contribute to your existence. Don't let Patreon pressure you to the point where your life suffers. Successful milestones focus on how your life will improve, rather than potential future projects. Have faith in yourself as an artist, and never break yourself on a project. If something requires you to destroy your life, it's probably not worth it.
After a stunning defeat in the Dungeon Dome, Percival the Unwavering and Small Benjamin, known collectively to their fans as The Compass Cats, are in a period of soul searching. Having fought in the Dome for years with an undefeated record they must find a way to rebuild their sense of identity. What better way to do that than with a mission from Queen Felicia herself?
