More than a year later, our players (virtually) come together again to try to save Candlekeep Library! Tony Sindelar with Annette Wierstra, Dan Moren, James Thomson, Jason Snell and Nick Scott.

To celebrate our 500th episode, we bring you the only TPK recorded entirely in person! It’s an extra-long session recorded around a table, complete with the sounds of dice rolling, soda-pop cans opening, and chairs scraping the floor as people move around. The only way to feel more like you’re there is to watch the 360° version on a VR headset! This episode kicks off another Candlekeep mystery in which N’iss, Naiasa, Valenthe, Merdri, and Quewaris investigate a trembling tower. Tony Sindelar with Annette Wierstra, Dan Moren, James Thomson, Jason Snell and Nick Scott.

In this final episode of The Lore of Lurue, Lovyn wants to leave, Naiasa hides under a corpse, Hermioneigh is like a really great dance troupe, Frittat’ha gets back on the horse, and Lonewalker hesitates to touch the book. Tony is a generous dungeon master, and anyone who suggests otherwise is a bad person. Oh, and listener secret_gaygent SAVES THE DAY. Tony Sindelar with Erika Ensign, James Thomson, Kathy Campbell, Mikah Sargent and Sebastian Runnings.

In this episode, Lovyn scampers out of the rage zone, Frittat’ha is finally tanking, Lonewalker does a little deelybob, Naiasa has secret agent vibes, and Hermioneigh shoves a berry in someone’s mouth. Oh, and Tony doesn’t want to call the wargs by name. Tony Sindelar with Erika Ensign, James Thomson, Kathy Campbell, Mikah Sargent and Sebastian Runnings.

In this episode, Naiasa does some John Woo action film moves, Hermioneigh makes a carbon copy of herself, Lonewalker approaches the grick, Frittat’ha is careful not to set her friends on fire, and Lovyn wants to know if there are still cupcakes. Oh, and Tony makes bird noises. Tony Sindelar with Erika Ensign, James Thomson, Kathy Campbell, Mikah Sargent and Sebastian Runnings.

In this episode, Lovyn gets his face ate; Naiasa makes poor life choices that are tactically unsound across a range of dimensions; Fritatt’ha bellows into a beak; Hermioneigh struggles to hit; and Lonewalker loses his elk. Oh, and Tony doesn’t know cupcakes. Tony Sindelar with Erika Ensign, James Thomson, Kathy Campbell, Mikah Sargent and Sebastian Runnings.

In this episode, Frittat’ha is still looking for her brother; Lonewalker chats with a tree; Hermioneigh doesn’t need a whole body’s worth of blood; Naiasa knocks on a suspicious door; and Lovyn looks down a suspicious well. Oh, and Tony doesn’t know trees. Tony Sindelar with Erika Ensign, James Thomson, Kathy Campbell, Mikah Sargent and Sebastian Runnings.

In the first episode of a new Candlekeep adventure, Naiasa is down to party; Hermioneigh whips it good; Lovyn does some stylish stabbing; Lonewalker tries to walk alone; and Frittath’a just wants to eat out of a tree stump. Oh, and Tony did not bring enough berzerkers. Tony Sindelar with Erika Ensign, James Thomson, Kathy Campbell, Mikah Sargent and Sebastian Runnings.

The party wraps up their prison adventure, and it’s the moment of truth - do they get out with subtlety, leaving no trace? Or do they leave chaos in their wake? You might be surprised! (Or you might not!) Tony Sindelar with Annette Wierstra, Chip Sudderth, Erika Ensign, Lincoln Hayes and Monty Ashley.

Is there an escape room in this prison? No. Does it practice good cable management? Also no. Tony Sindelar with Annette Wierstra, Chip Sudderth, Erika Ensign, Lincoln Hayes and Monty Ashley.

Is this prison a dungeon? Is the party here to make friends? Did anyone bring a spare corpse? The answer to all of these is “no.” Tony Sindelar with Annette Wierstra, Chip Sudderth, Erika Ensign, Lincoln Hayes and Monty Ashley.

When is a mop not a mop? When our adventurers go undercover and arrive at the prison. It’s big! And cold! Tony Sindelar with Annette Wierstra, Chip Sudderth, Erika Ensign, Lincoln Hayes and Monty Ashley.

The heist planning continues, and our adventurers take on alternate identities! Meet Anders K’aaruuts, Stanley Wilmon, Lexi Shrapnel, Diogenes Mainframe, and of course, K’en. Tony Sindelar with Annette Wierstra, Chip Sudderth, Erika Ensign, Lincoln Hayes and Monty Ashley.

A new Keys from the Golden Vault adventure brings a prison break, but instead of breaking out, they need to get in! Tony Sindelar with Annette Wierstra, Chip Sudderth, Erika Ensign, Lincoln Hayes and Monty Ashley.

The party crashers rush to rob rich ritualists with stirring music, washroom destruction, a chicken under each arm, and the power of Valeria’s moon-eyed devotion to a very special lady-orc in the thrilling conclusion of our adventure! Tony Sindelar with Annette Wierstra, James Thomson, Kathy Campbell, Steve Lutz and Tiff Arment.

Social norms take as much of a beating as a vicious owlbear, as the party moves from performative combat to gastrointestinal distress (also performative) in a bid to infiltrate offices and…get out their jerky while not sitting in pies. Tony Sindelar with Annette Wierstra, James Thomson, Kathy Campbell, Steve Lutz and Tiff Arment.

The team preps for both a stirring performance and a profitable heist, but intra-team conflict and a caged beast stand in their way. Tony Sindelar with Annette Wierstra, James Thomson, Kathy Campbell, Steve Lutz and Tiff Arment.

A ramshackle group of thieves and ne’er-do-wells infiltrate a fancy party to pull off a daring heist but get more than they bargained for when polite society embraces ritualistic violence. Tony Sindelar with Annette Wierstra, James Thomson, Kathy Campbell, Steve Lutz and Tiff Arment.

As they complete the Reach for the Stars adventure, the party learns how to kill a piece of architecture (put it in a mini-mall) and has a conversation with a sad, greasy cultist. Tony Sindelar with Annette Wierstra, Erika Ensign, Lincoln Hayes and Monty Ashley.

When this party meets a puddle of eyes and mouths, it quickly becomes nightmare monster vs nightmare monster! Tony Sindelar with Annette Wierstra, Erika Ensign, Lincoln Hayes and Monty Ashley.

K’ronng’s sword gets a name, maps are confusing, and the party smells…things. Tony Sindelar with Annette Wierstra, Erika Ensign, Lincoln Hayes and Monty Ashley.

The Keys from the Golden Vault return, with a new addition to the group! Zanter Quickhands joins Jaee Raff, Levithia du Issigri, and K’ronng, as they break into a mansion and take a short rest in a very nice bathroom! Tony Sindelar with Annette Wierstra, Erika Ensign, Lincoln Hayes and Monty Ashley.

This episode wraps up Sarah of Yellowcrest Manor with these lessons: Once you reach the Big Bad, you should just set him on fire. A surprise round is one stab, one fire. And most importantly, rule number one of identity theft is “hide the body.” Tony Sindelar with Erika Ensign, James Thomson, Jason Snell, Kathy Campbell and Tiff Arment.

This week’s lessons: After you break into a house, you look around. Night is the optimal time for evil. Small farming towns have no commercial district. And most importantly, murder is not a complete plan. Tony Sindelar with Erika Ensign, James Thomson, Jason Snell, Kathy Campbell and Tiff Arment.

This week’s lessons: Geography is just map history. Murder holes are surprisingly expensive. If nobody’s heard of you, you’re not an A-list cult. And most importantly, the best kind of heist is when the players steal the campaign from the DM. Tony Sindelar with Erika Ensign, James Thomson, Jason Snell, Kathy Campbell and Tiff Arment.

The good news: Paulie invents “pants of holding,” and N’iss invents “napkidding” (reverse kidnapping). The bad news: due to a small earthquake and a large centaur, the horses are down. Tony Sindelar with Erika Ensign, James Thomson, Jason Snell, Kathy Campbell and Tiff Arment.

The Candlekeep crew heads to Waterdeep to meet William Faerl, an elf with a helluva hat, and to play “Good Cop, Good Cop, Neutral Cop, Bad Cop, Bad Cop.” Or is it “Good Cop, Bad Cop, Horse Cop, Little Cop, Lizard Cop”? No, no, of course it’s “Good Cop, Bad Cop, Big Cop, Little Cop, Fake Ghost Cop”! Tony Sindelar with Erika Ensign, James Thomson, Jason Snell, Kathy Campbell and Tiff Arment.

Another Candlekeep mystery begins with—you guessed it—more book problems for Frittat’ha, Hermioneigh, Naiasa, N’iss, and Paulie. Tony Sindelar with Erika Ensign, James Thomson, Jason Snell, Kathy Campbell and Tiff Arment.

Monty Ashley returned not just to EHG but to the distant past, as the panel contemplated Peacock's ancient-Succession drama, Those About To Die. The CGI is pretty ancient too, but did any of the storylines make us want to keep watching? Did Sarah D. "Horse Girl" Bunting care about the stables subplot? And how much chariot-racing is too much? Then we neck-acted our way Around The Dial with Cobra Kai, The Boys, and the soothing Midnight Diner: Tokyo Stories before clambering into a Dumpster for Monty's The Chris Gethard Show Canon submission. And finally, it was time to swear at-- er, IN a TV-president Game Time from Dan Cassino. Oscar-winners, grenades, and avant-garde casting choices around RFK Sr. in this all-new Extra Hot Great.
