Gettin' Dicey

Hey batter, batter! Miss batter, batter! Don't look in that room batter, batter! Come on batter, batter, please! Just this once, don't spoil the mystery in less than an hour batter, batter! Can't we have a single suspenseful episode batter, batter?

Do you wanna play a game? D&D was gettin' a bit... dicey, so the team has decided to take a detour into the wonderful world of Clue (with a little D&D on the side). The party finds themselves ripped through time to solve a dastardly murder. Can they find the culprit, or will they only manage to find a dagger in their backs? (That doesn't mean it's the dagger Stephen, you won't find me giving anything away in these descriptions.)

Welcome back to the office! Our lovely employees have faced faulty printers and slackers before, but as the holidays approach, they'll have to contend with a new threat. The War on Christmas.

Please put your hands together for our very special new member, Seth Morris playing the part of Sylvester Strom! He takes us on a little journey back in time to the first days of the Shimmer. What convenient timing for an orphan to make his way into our story. That's something I never thought I'd say.

Shopping episode!!!! This one's got everything: magic shoes, cane swords, hand shoes, and zoning approvals. I don't know what to tell you, they've been through a lot lately, let 'em have this.

It's not your fault. It's not your fault. It's not your fault. It's not your fault. It's NOT your fault. It's not YOUR fault. It's not your FAULT. It's not your fault. It might be Ram's fault though. Rufus didn't need therapy, so that one's my fault. You might be asking yourself, "Why is this description so scattered and weird?" The answer is that no one reads these, I made you up in my head, so this one's just for me. And you, the person who isn't real. Unless you are real. Then this would just be awkward...

Lotta lore in this one, and it's almost all about a character we met exactly one episode ago. Not sure what we were thinking with that one, but it all sounded good at the time. We all make mistakes in the heat of passion I suppose. Ram has a family reunion, Rufus solves the puzzle, and Snurd learns the secret... of the Mimic.

All that glitters may not be gold, but that treasure didn't even glitter, it just immediately turned into a zany side quest. Rufus starts his career in speedrunning by skipping an entire puzzle on instinct, and Ram discovers his love of voice acting via audiobooks. Snurd and No Fuss spend most of the time standing by and giving really blunt hints to completely unreadable puzzles. Like I'm talking a riddle which is basically just the worst pun you've ever heard. Rough stuff.

The slow march of death waits for no man, but it will take a few steps back for Rufus. Ram is going to make sure of it. No amount of strangely life-like statues, smoky volcanic fogs, or fire snakes are enough to stop him from turning back the clock on old Rufus. The race is on, and Chad Ram's got legs for days.

Do a backflip. Right now. Come on, you know you wanna do it. You gotta start somewhere, you might as well do it now. Backflip right onto that like button. It'll be so cool, come on, pleeaasseee??!Also, Ram and Rufus team up with the Terrific Duo to fight the terrifying power of a weird little freak.

So it turns out that when a god dies, there are a few... consequences. Ram is going to learn what that means today. Maybe he can convert to Catholicism now because he sure is going to confession today! Also Rufus is there, and he's doing pretty well other than the whole metal arm thing.

Well, well, well, if it isn't the end of a hiatus so long that I forgot how to write a good description (was I ever good at these? [who can say for sure?]). Higgins has mysteriously turned into an egg (don't ask), and Ram and Rufus are left to settle a blood feud the old fashioned way: using a really cool magical dueling dagger that we will completely forget about by the next combat. With his honor on the line, can Rufus win a fight with one hand deep in the gut of a Bulette? Or will Ram somehow end up outliving the rest of the party?

Happy Halloween! Team 20 takes a break from being traumatized to have a relaxing day in the office by playing Cubicles & Chief Executives. Ram N. Ardy is James Canada, the gossiping/Tiefling Maintenance man. Rufus is Cornelius, the old head Dragonborn HR worker. Higgins Brightmoon is Martin, the HR liability Half-Orc IT guy. Last but never least, Bartholomous Crane is your DM (District Manager). Get ready for the scariest thing imaginable: working an office job.

Team 20 fights for their lives (even more than usual) as Alan Maniac displays the strength of the Void. Is all hope lost? Maybe for Ram, but the rest of the crew will probably be alright.

With the camp on high alert, Team 20 races to collect the last keys and enter the Boulder Brothers' headquarters. Vildar still has a few tricks up his sleeves. Will the party be able to reach him in time to stop his plans? This is one family reunion that you don't want to miss.

Team 20 splits the party and searches for the answer to the age old question: Can Chandler keep track of two different scenes at the same time? Rufus cooks up a plan (and a meal) while Ram and Higgins make a "stealthy" return to the jail. No one makes it out of this one clean.

Wait, I know how this sounds, but I swear it's not AS bad as you'd think. Ram and some very large bats get into a bit of a scuffle, Rufus gets the mines he has yearned for, and Higgins learns a painful lesson in empathy. Baldar is also there. He won't do much, but you already knew that, didn't you?

Team 20 makes their way to a nearby mine in style to search for Baldar's son. A plan is hatched, some hands are tied, a tour is given, and Rufus yearns for the mines. How will our bold beauties fare against the notorious Boulder Brothers?

Fresh off of some tempting offers, Team 20 finishes their deceptively simple task and enjoys the hospitality of the local villagers. Ram and Higgins hatch a plot, and Rufus finds a new mentor. Also, Ram's zodiac sign is apparently Tyrannosaurus. Don't know what that means, but that's pretty typical for Ram.

Volume warning on this one; he's called the Scream for a reason. Team 20 find themselves at the heart of the Scream's devious operations, but this loud man might be more than he seems. With 3 bespoke deals on the line, will our beloved heroes succumb to the temptation? Or will they dunk on him for the most outlandish possible interpretation of one small thing he says? I think we all know where this is going.

Hello, and welcome to my TED Talk. Today I will be discussing the benefits of trading all of your people skills for 200 pounds of pure muscle. You will feel as strong as 2 horses, and you will find your voice naturally shifts to a Californian accent. Who needs to convince people to like you when your pecs are speaking volumes??!

It's about time Ram got some wins under his belt, and boy howdy are there some big Ram wins in this one. Team 20 enters the Fast Traveller and meet the mysterious man who has been invading all of their dreams, and he's actually kinda chill tbh. A guy you can just vibe with really. And that's exactly what they're gonna do.

Team 20 makes their way to the peak of the Farmer's Al Manac's Tower of weather-based phenomena and discover the secret behind the void-mad wizard's spell. With that adventure under their belts, they decide to take a quick detour to a place where fearful foes await in the darkness.

Well, well, well, it appears someone's backlog wasn't as robust as they thought, huh? In this, our first ever one-shot bonus episode, some good ole country boys craft a devious scheme to get a pig into a wedding and embarrass the bride. Someone will leave this wedding more humiliated than anyone could have imagined, and I can PROMISE you that no one will see this ending coming.

On this episode of Michael Bay's Transformers: The Rise of Scorponok, Sponsored by [insert overt product placement here], we follow our intrepid heroes through cave, jungle, swamp, desert, and aww, look a cute little meadow! Will the party recover from the fact Ram summoned an entire brown bear? Will the beasts waiting around every corner show even the slightest bit of competence? It's Gettin' Dicey folks, you already know this one is gonna get wild!

It's time for a little lesson on money! Will it prove to be the root of all evil, or the thing that makes the world spin round? For Team 20, it's not much of anything, so if you want an education on how the economy works, keep on looking. If you want to find out just how complicated climbing up the side of a tower can get though, you're at the right place.

Team 20 makes their way to the town of Shimmer's Edge and gets caught up in a bit of tomfoolery with the local nobles. Can Rufus survive a deadly duel? Will Ram make it out of a combat encounter without making death saves? Is Higgins going to succumb to peer pressure and consume raw beef? I wish more of those were jokes and not actual things that are going to happen. No April Fools jokes here, just good, clean D&D podcasting folks.

Well, well, well, after a hard fought battle, our illustrious trio has found themselves at a bit of a party. Fun is had, bonds are forged, and they finally got a team name, so I don't have to come up with new titles like "illustrious trio" for them anymore. Say hello to table 20! Well, not so much a team name as it is their order in line, but these things take time. No rush or anything, it's not like they're gonna get their butts whooped again in this one. Uh oh, I think that was foreshadowing...

Didn't your momma tell you never to dilly dally in an alley? Clearly she never told Higgins, Ram N. Ardy, and Rufus because they find themselves caught in the middle of a riot over unfair taxation practices. Wait this is still a D&D podcast right??

Even in a world of fantasy and wonder, second chances can be hard to come by. So when a soldier without a war, a songwriter without an audience, and a nomad without a tribe find a way to start fresh, will they take it? Or will it take them? Does that make sense? It sounded good in my head, but I'm worried it doesn't actually mean anything. No, don't put that part. Stop typing. Stop!
