This week’s guest is Andrew Kolb. We talk about his latest Role-Playing Setting of Wonderland (dungeon crawl) where he pulls from the surreal and silly collage art of people like Terry Gilliam. We talk about how all the Lewis Carroll characters are agro with Alice, and making their stat blocks and special moves (inspired by his love of Chrono Trigger). The locations as topsy-turvy geometric block shapes, and building out their themes.

We also discuss his brightly illustrated Mab Graves’ Drawlloween challenge books Booburgh and Necronomicorp.

Pizza Queen

Art: Tiger Wizard Words: Steve Albertson

Story by: Andrew Bellury, Steve Albertson, Andrew Kolb

Pizza Queen is a large, blobby, alien xeno professional wrestler who’s made entirely out of pizza. She has a second face on her torso that fires out a hot pizza pie that causes fire and bludgeoning damage. That pizza then stands up as one of the three minions (see below).

Pizza minion wrestling warriors:

1) Pepperoni & Dynamite Pie: Explodes when it hits you causing 10 feet of splash damage. Becomes an animated pizza wrestler with a spicy attitude and has the move “The TNT Stunner.”

2) Laser-Mushrooms Pie: Fires like a chakram weapon with a mushroom-powered laser edge. If hit, there’s a 10% chance to lose 1d4 fingers. It becomes an animated pizza yogi that strikes with gooey, stretching appendages.

3) Hawaiian Pie: When hit, this pineapple and ham pizza charms or repulses the target with fear, depending on their feelings about Hawaiian pizza. It becomes animate and performs a hypno-hula-dance. It will put a molten cheese lei around the neck of those under its thrall, or a burnt-tongue kiss that’ll burn the roof of your mouth.

Our guest this week is our Mad Dungeon producer, the Bat Alchemist himself, Zach Cowan, a location sound recordist and video producer located in Atlanta. We talk about what season four is all about: We’re making a zine of TTRPG content to use in your home games with each of our guests contributing a page or two, while continuing to utilize our ‘mad dice’ improv style of word play.

Andrew has his first child, working on lots of art, his job as the in-house game designer and editor at Exalted Funeral. Steve talks about the industrial music Mystic Punks adventure he wrote. He went to ShimpCon, a not-so-secret home con of Doug Kovacs (DCC, Inferno Road) where he played Dolmenwood and ran Mystic Punks. Zach has been playing Mothership, and a combat-heavy D&D 5E game. Zach will be running Tiger Wizard and family through a campaign of Brindlewood Bay.

D8 Toe-Based Space Wizards

Art: Tiger Wizard Words: Steve Albertson

Story by: Andrew Bellury, Steve Albertson, Zach Cowan

1. Wiggle Toe - They cast smelly spells, like stink bomb and unknown scent, by wiggling their toes. Wiggle Toe can’t smell the stank, but everyone else does.

2. Tough Toe - arms and legs are all big toes. They cast gravity-based crushing spells.

3. Blaze Bunion - a giant foot with a head where the ankle would connect to the foot. Casts bunion, a spell that causes painful bony bumps to grow in a target’s joints, making them stiff.

4. Turf Toe-ny - They cast healing spells, particularly heeling, which causes sore feet to relax and become rejuvenated.

5. Split Nail - Fires off adamantine toe nail projectiles that when hit causes the target’s nails to painfully split in half.

6. Flat-Arch Mage - Casts spells that hinder your dexterity. Being hit by any of their spells causes fallen arches, and the target becomes flat-footed.

7. Crevice Pressure Witch - She shrinks to go into small places, then grows back to full size to explode them.

8. Toe Jam Courier - They pilot a space mech angel to deliver jars of toe fungus to beings who think it’s delicious. They have magic space cleats that: power the mech, allows them to walk on any surface regardless of gravity, and gives them a shredding force kick.

Season Finale - Goblin Kings and Popstars Sing

Bat 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.
