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 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.

Trevor Stamper—Trevor has had aspirations of being a Not-Quite-So-Dark Master for numerous years, tormenting players in home campaigns on at least two continents. At the age of 10, Trevor was launched into an AD&D game with his friends on Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico. But once he moved to England, he lost touch with the game and explored other classics—Indiana Jones, Twilight 2000, Gangbusters, Traveller 2300—until Joel Phillips reintroduced him to D&D BECMI style when he was 15. From there it has been a life-long passion for gaming and creating things other players can enjoy. Trevor has published before in minor ways—a few articles in the now defunct ENWorld Journal, and some really minor contributions when Kobold Press was doing Open Design. He has also extensively playtested material for almost thirty years—starting with Werewolf first edition for White Wolf, to most recently a plethora of Fantasy Flight Games' offerings in the Warhammer 40K and Star Wars ranges. After over 389 Kickstarters as a backer, this is his eleventh one as a creator!

In this chat we talked about her amazing work, about the processes of making games, about the weird and the important relationship it has with the mundane, and a lot of other weirdness!

W. F. Smith, also known as Prismatic Wasteland, is a blogger and game designer, author of Barkeep on the Borderlands, making Prismatic Wasteland RPG, and creator of many other amazing things! He comes to the show to talk weird! Prismatic Wasteland, the blog, is one I've been visiting and coming back to for years, and it's been around for a long while. We even talk a little bit on the show about how the blog culture changed over time but is still on of the most reliable ways gamer and creators share their experiences and thoughts. Barkeep on the Borderlands is a supplement he created collaborating with a team of other amazing creators which won a bunch of awards and explores the many weird and wonderful ways to subvert the tired "you start at a tavern fantasy trove". And it does that spetacularly. In this chat we talked about how the weird can be whimsical as well, about the contrast and the mixing with the fantastical and the mundane, about how the RPG media is still new and full of things to explore. We talked about weird games, about story, about structure, about many insightful things. So listen up and get weird with us!

The Vat Spawn follow beefy elite goblins into a room of swords with a goblin museum curators arguing about presentation. The head curator laughs as Dragon Warrior touches a cursed codeine razor and is weakened with magical addiction. A big ole fight breaks out with Tiger Wizard trip attacks and a fun knife-in-the-head polymorph into goblin hipsterdom. Bat Alchemist finds some mystically placed stanchions & velvet ropes, and he corrals in the curators behind the ropes to watch the fight. Warlock Roc has on headphones that are giving her an audio tour, and learns about The First Year Being Rich Cutlass. She grabs it and brandishes it without blasting off its power… until she does! The cutlass pulls all metal (including magic swords) into the sword, nearly killing everyone.ANNOUNCEMENTSTHE MEGA DUNGEON MEN EP: Our new TTRPG fantasy meets hip hop album, The Mega Dungeon Men EP is out this now.

Justine Jones is a self taught illustrator living in Philadelphia. Her influences come from comic books, video games, mythology, and folklore. She has done work for Wizards of the Coast, Kobold Press, and many small publishers. She makes Magic the Gathering card pieces of art, and her unique style also appears on our award winning adventure Halls of the Blood King, and many other amazing creations. I am fascinated by Justine's work. The attention to detail, the otherworldly and yet familiar figures. The dreamlike, mysterious and seductive pallete draws you in. I also had the luck to collaborate with her on Halls of the Blood King, and her art elevated the adventure to a whole new level. In this chat we had a lot of fun talking about comics, other artists, process (or lack of one), routine, anxiety (yes, it is a special guest in this show), about video games, dreams and many other weird and wonderful things.

Courtney Campbell is a game designer and artist, creator of the Hack & Slash blog, author of many great posts about gaming, and the game designer of many RPG books, including more recently Sinless, a new take on cyberpunk dystopias where the players are faced with really hard hitting questions. I've been following Courtney's work from afar for a long while. I think he wrote some of the best OSR and adventure gaming posts out there, and I even have the zines he published compiling some of these. Courtney's new game raised a lot of questions that I would love to see more people trying to answer, or even trying to think about them. In this chat we talked a lot about Sinless, dystopias, their inevitable downfall, mental health, games, art, writing, process, and a lot of other weird stuff we normally talk about in this show.

His art and cartography is known for its unique style and use of bright colors. And he is also a awesome friend, and cool person to hang with!

We talked art, creativity, process, how he came up with some of his creations, how he is in love with the act of creation itself, and a lot more. We had a wonderfully weird time, and I hope you will too. So listen up, get weird with us!

John Wick is not only the legend who inspired a multi-millionaire Hollywood franchise, but he is also the legendary game designer of Legend of the Five Rings, 7th Sea, Orkworld!, Cat, Wield, and so many others! He is also famous for his writing and opinions he shares on his YouTube channel. We don't agree on a lot of things, but we agree to disagree and I love it! In this chat we talked about D&D, it's many versions, whether if any of them is an RPG, we talk about how it is to be much harder on himself than on others, about movies and books that inspires him, about how professional criticism shouldn't exist. We also talked about game design, elegance in rules, how he sees himself as a discordian. We talked about some really awesomely weird games. And we talked about Banners and his new projects!

Our guest this week is Banana Chan as we continue our Gary Con 2024 series of 50 years of Dungeons and Dragons interviews.

You're one of three late shift workers listening to the radio, while being consumed by a parasite. She discusses her inspiration from the Juggernaut LARP by Jason Morningstar. We talk about her history with Dungeons & Dragons, writing for D&D, and how that fits into her work in the indie space and using the Powered by the Apocalypse engine in particular.

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.

The Vat Spawn leave the colosseum of mutilation and head to Goblintown. There they infiltrate a secret epicenter of commerce in Def Jamisus called The Goblin Museum.
