This week we try something new by playing a Magic the Gathering game of Commander (EDH), live and in person, while we talk about the games we've recently played. Andrew discusses the culinary horror of X2 Castle Amber run using Hyperborea 3E. Rob talks about the communal aspects of the addictively fun web-based game Wordle which was just sold to the New York Times for over $1 million. Zach wonders how many hundreds of hours he'll dedicate to the addictively fun Oxygen Not Included to keep his space colony alive. Steve is playing through Diogo Nogueira's Halls of the Blood King for a second time, but this time it's being run using Mystic Punks RPG as opposed to Old-School Essentials. Suffice it to say, vamps shall be staked yet again! | |||

Help a devoted ghoul king retrieve a cursed locket to reunite with the ghost of his long dead lover queen, but you inadvertently raise the dead and summon a sexually unobtainable Purple Prince demon lord. The overgrown graveyard turns into a bustling center of hot-rod zombies, greaser ghouls and preppy mummies all going on dates at a gruesome fast food joint, making out at the undead drive-in theater and engaging in groovy dance fights. Can you learn the moves of the four dance masters before the purple rain drags all of the enthralled lovers to the Purple Prince's hellish underworld?

You’re greeted by the pretentious art critic, Al Success and his retinue of snobby snoobs and robot butlers. Something odd is happening on the island. One by one, people go missing. Can you solve the mystery of Sword Art Island?

You’re a tourist visiting the sweet-smelling hometown of Connor Woodpond, the one-hit-wonder mega-star who wrote your favorite song, “Furry Boots and Slick Razors,” but he hasn’t been seen in years. There’s something about this town that just makes you want to sing your feelings. After your opening number, a mysterious figure in a trenchcoat and fedora implores you to save the rec center from Head Kicker and his bitchin’ Camaro gang, The Mutated Mullets. Neon Lords of the Toxic Wasteland "Total Carnage Edition" on Kickstarter! His new kickstarter is up and we talk about stretch goals of temporary tattoos, pogs, and we recommend xeno smut posters and Lord Randy action figures. In this game, character creation’s most important aspect is your hairstyle, and “attitude” is how cool you are in civilization, but sleaze (anti-charisma) is how much respect you get in the Wastelands.

Welcome to the first episode our Season 2! This time around we'll create a single room with each of our guests until we've populated an entire Mad Dungeon! Room 201 - Celebratory Configuration: This cyberpunk room is quartered into red, blue, green & yellow sections, and is cluttered with discarded tech trash. A hoarding gremlin is organizing it all by color. In the center of the room is an infernal Tandy 1000 computer with a robotic hand on the back holding the Floppy Demonic Discus. Insert the Discus and the computer will turn on with text reading: “Would you like to play? y/n” The game: The computer will show a random sequence of ten images (Apple=red, Sun=yellow, Frog=green, Water=blue). When you return it’s always +1 image. PCs must stand in a colored quadrant and say the color of the item in the sequence. Fail: get shocked for 1hp. Succeed: glow sticks fly out of the computer screen and wrap around the PCs necks, healing all damage and raising morale as cenobite party imps appear and throw you a bangin’ party. -- 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.

Ichor Heart of War-Den: This swampy room comes to life when you enter the chamber. Veins move black ichor throughout these walls and ceiling made of flesh and machine. Sprinkles of black ichor fill the room, making it difficult to breathe. The floor slants toward the center like a bowl, shifting and popping you into the air towards War-Den (Dex save). War-Den is a 10-ft., sentient, beating robot heart of black diamond who’s spewing noxious fumes into the air. A legendary, emerald skull hovers above them. Their veiny, needle-tipped tendrils attempt to pump you full of the black ichor to turn you into a pollutor. Pollutors are War-Den’s hive-mind cyborgs created to expel toxic fumes from their robotic parts to terraform the planet. Pollutors will always come to the aid of War-Den, especially if they or their emerald are taken. -- Our guest this week is John “Hambone” McGuire of 3,2,1…Action!

| 08 Feb 2023 | MD 204 Vainglory Hole w/ Thorin Thompson (Owl Knight Publishing, Goodman Games) | 00:41:43 | |
Vainglory Hole: This room is bisected. On one side is a washroom with three magic mirrors promising a better you. Mirror 1 (Charm Hole): Shows you with great charisma, beautiful, a leader. Mirror 2 (3rd Eye Hole): Shows you with a 3rd eye in your forehead and with infinite cosmic power. Mirror 3 (Power Hole): Shows you with massive muscles and dexterous ability. None of the mirrors do what they promise. There’s a stand that’s holding instructional pamphlets on how to use the magic mirrors and their benefits. A lock box labeled “tips” is there for you to leave some money, but it’s trapped with a slime shotgun if you attempt to steal the money. A wash basin filled with stinging salty water has a sign that reads, “Rinse after using the mirrors.” Unbeknownst to the PCs, on the other side of the wall is a gremlin beauty salon. When you push your face through the mirror, it sticks to the magic material, tears off your face, then drops your slimy face into a face-goo container that the gremlins use as a beauty product. The gremlins simply continue cutting hair and gossiping about the dungeon.

It wears its utters like a jester’s cap, producing household cleaning products as milk. Robo-Head: This cyber-head controls one spindly arm with utters in their armpit. Its milk powers the Tin Cuppers, and recharges batteries. They grow new minions in small birthing sacs. Cow Head: She produces rage milk, throwing the drinker into a barbarian rage. Gaze attack, save or attack the closest person to you who isn’t Crystal Shit. Flail-Static Joe: This jumbotron A.I. hangs from the ceiling making sure that milk production and deliveries are happening on time. A lightning flail drops menacingly from it to ward off danger or discipline the workers. A mounted control panel can slow down or stop production, but that’ll make Joe mad.

No guest this week as Andrew, Rob & Steve discusses the games they've been playing this winter.

Rob continues playing World of Warcraft: Dragon Flight to flex their dragon riding skills. Idon’tcaribou and the Igloo Warriors: This barn is missing two walls. Outside is an infinite tundra of icy conditions, swirling wind, snow and frosty grass. Inside are lofts with hay and stalls containing normal caribou. Broken-off antlers litter the floor. A coat rack next to the door has fur-lined parkas that give you advantage against ennui and cold damage. A massive igloo with smaller crunchroach igloos all over it is in the center of the room. This is the turtle-like shell of the Idon’tcaribou, a dire beast with antlers growing out of it in all directions. It gores with its antlers, which break off and immediately grow back in a new shape. It shoots freeze rays from his eyes and has a 10-foot aura of ennui that’s linked to the cold (crunchroaches are immune).

Kibo, The Failing Hope: She wears a cybernetic asthma mask over her pug face. Her large bulbous eyes look in opposite directions. Her lower torso has been replaced with metal spider legs. She exudes a breathy femme-fatal energy, while still being motherly, yet is prone to random bursts of zoomie energy. Kibo fosters competition between her pups, and will send them on quests with customers. Kibo’s puppies: These commerce-savvy pups have their own glass counters to sell their wares.

This week’s guest is Tony Vasinda of PlusOneExp where they make bespoke, alchemical beard & lip balms inspired by classic tabletop tropes, and YouTube and podcast content from interviews with creators to actual play one-shots and campaigns. We talk about his upcoming space crawler Through The Void utilizing their Together We Go system. Follow Tony: Website - Facebook – Instagram – Twitter – YouTube Dungeon’s Got Talent: This crowded arena has three tiers and a large circular field with a lone microphone in the center. Posters of other champion finalists line the walls. The judges booth juts out from the center of the 2nd level. Trap: A large cage drops over anyone around the microphone, and minotaurs drench you with bad blood to enrage Nightmare Folklore who emerges from the floor. Fight or out perform the jazz bull to score points with the judges. A minotaur jazz band accompanies the fight from an orchestra pit. Nightmare Folklore: This giant, intelligent jazz bull has horns like saxophones. “Fighting is like jazz. You have to break tradition.” Timing is important against his sonic attack (damage & save or be deafened), but jazz has variable timing with his hoof stomping (haste or slow effect). Judges: Matador Dave (the spiritual wizard), Thragg (long retired dungeon delver with sorrowful eyes), and Labyrinth Larry (makes mazes for the local newspaper) each have a red buzzer they hit when they don’t like something. Survive and impress the judges, and they’ll invite you back for the finals. Winner gets a ring of three wishes.

This week’s guest is Keith Matejk of Thunderworks Games. We talk about how you can play Roll Player and Cartographers with big groups of players, and how you can play every Thunderworks game solo. We then dig into the art and gameplay of Goblin Vaults. Follow Thunderworks Games at: Website - FB - IG - Twitter
Lockwork Goblin: A colossal goblin-shaped golem, made of thousands of locks of all types, has exterior ledges and steps to climb it if you’re agile enough. It’s lonely and wants friends, so it violently brainwashes goblins with the machine to be its pal and perform dance numbers. In the center of its torso is a prison cell containing goblins pleading for you to save them. Its forehead contains a vault door that leads to emotional baggage and gold. It has hundreds of scraggly teeth that are one-use magic keys that’ll open any lock. Dance Goblins: Converted goblins wear red thriller jackets, a lock necklace and are tethered by the head to the Lockwork Goblin. The tether is like an addiction, with strong withdrawals when detached. Rewiring works 100% on goblins, but has a 50% success rate for everyone else.

Jarnjeeves separated himself into two parts. The good part is the husk you see who made it to Nirvana. The evil Jarnjeeves is alive and trapped inside the orb. A menagerie of two-headed animals float in various orbits around the orb. This grapefruit-size crystal sphere is extremely fragile, and if broken will release the evil wizard.

Follow James: Website - XTwitter - Patreon MD 232 Paper Pirates of the Renegade Heart All sides of this room are a treasure map. Once you enter the room, the door becomes a drawing as well, trapping you inside. Bones of the people who starved to death before they solved the puzzle or joined the crew line the floor. Only living 3D people can solve the puzzle. Puzzle: There’s no escape unless you can fix the six jumbled elements hidden within the map. The final jumble is that one wall is too long. You must fold in either side to correct the image and reveal the “X” that the treasure will come out of. Treasure: The Crown of the Pirate King is a document giving you the legal title of Pirate King that’s folded into a wearable crown, and releases the crew of the Renegade Heart. These 2D pirates living in the walls of the map can only escape the map when someone is crowned the Pirate King. These pirates belong to a massive polycule where they can vote to bring you into the 2D map and poly relationship. Then you must wait for someone else to come by and save you.

| 10 Apr 2024 | MD 304 AGAB: All Garys Are Bastards - Rise of the Vat Spawn (actual play) | 01:09:05 | |
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. THE MEGA DUNGEON MEN EP: Our new TTRPG fantasy meets hip hop album, The Mega Dungeon Men EP is out this Friday. It features Mega Ran, MC Frontalot, Denkles and Dizzy the Bard dropping verses alongside Dragon Warrior and Tiger Wizard all set to nostalgic beats by Inner Resting.

The water is draining away at the secret golden oasis because of all the infighting between the adorable, ear-like loboids. Can you help the tiptoers, bouncers and striders to stop bickering and unite with their magic dance?
