Mad Dungeon

Get your lungs and ears ready for this week’s episode! Banana Chan catches us up on their latest work, including Knockoff, a solo journaling game where players cut and paste fabric patterns to create a dress; and The Darkness at the Brink of Ohio, a solo horror journaling game with its own soundtrack.

Then things get a little smoky.

You are what you smoke when it comes to Vapenstein! This Monster and Item combination is one you’ll definitely want to hear about.

This week, we sit down with Ben Mazz, creator of Don’t Tell Mom & Dad, the tabletop horror RPG where you play kids, use kid logic, earn Cool Points, and hopefully make it home before curfew. Ben is also the musician behind the game’s 11-song Audio Companion, co-creator of the Sewer Rats zine, and a filmmaker and composer whose work includes Pizza Party Massacre.

Then we make a new monster for your game: Count VVaitom, a vampire with a tempting offer—bring him your blood, and he’ll trade you treasures in return.

What could possibly go wrong?

This week, our guest is Jeff Richard, now also known as The Bison Investigator. Jeff joined us to discuss some major anniversaries for Chaosium and Call of Cthulhu. We also talked about the RuneQuest Guide to Glorantha, HeroQuest Glorantha, and RuneQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha... so basically, Glorantha. Jeff has served as the creative director and editor-in-chief of all things Glorantha since 2008.

If you’re wondering what “The Wild Mosh” is... I’ll give you a hint: bisons are mosh-pitting, and the players have to make it to the stage!

MD 412 - The Fluffy Detective w/ Brigitte Winter

The Fluffy Detective (TFD) was exiled from a heavenly realm to make the world a better place by solving mysteries. They can return home once they solve their final mystery.

TFD wears a classic noir trench coat that’s filled with adorable, cuddling critters that are the bodiless spirits of mysteries that need to be solved. Their power increases based on the amount of unsolved mysteries in the coat.

TFD’s furry face can shift into any of the faces associated with the mysteries in their coat. TFD gains some of that spirit’s memories, mannerisms, and helps them blend into different situations. Strange music plays while the face transformation takes place. Photos of TFD come out blurry, and they have the power to make others not remember them if they wish.
