Merry Christmas, folks! Or, should I say? Merry Crimemas! Because today, we have a special Crimemas episode for you, inspired by (but, uh, legally distinct from) the inspirational trap movie Home Alone. And what says Crimemas more than a band of **GOBLINS**?!?!?! Join us for an incredibly chaotic game full of traps, wild magic, and death...but the fun kind.

Our heroes move ever closer to their ultimate destination, of travelling to the Far Realm to destroy the Far Gear. But first, a visit to an old cog in Rex's machine is in order, along with a just a little peek at a bathing Luxodon. And, on your way to Al McGuffin's office, might as well stop by the (normal, company) archives to pick up a scroll or two. But when you're dealing with McGuffins, when is a trip to the library ever just a trip to the library?  Marcus Stusek (he/him) as the Dungeon Master Craig Chapman (he/him) as Salem Brennan Harder (he/him) as Rathmus Rex Elliot White (they/them) as Lisette Audio Production by Liam Catarina (it/its) https://www.liamcatarina.com/   Music provided courtesy of the YouTube Audio Library   Our website: www.dirtytwentiespodcast.com  Contact us: dirtytwentiespodcast@gmail.com

Our heroes are racing down the streets of New Republica when a Marut appears, calling out to Salem and Lisette that they are contract breakers. An attempt to flee is cut short by a realization that these things are called Inevitable for a reason, and so we find ourselves in an extra-planar courthouse in the city of Sigil. We recorded this on one of the hottest days of the year, which just so happened to be Pride, and the heat made us all loony. Come on in and listen to four fully grown humans trying to debate one another with brains that are actively melting.  Cast: Marcus Stusek (he/him) as the Dungeon Master Craig Chapman (he/him) as Salem Brennan Harder (he/him) as Rathmus Rex Elliot White (they/them) as Lisette Audio Production by Liam Catarina (it/its) https://www.liamcatarina.com/   Music provided courtesy of the YouTube Audio Library   Our website: www.dirtytwentiespodcast.com  Contact us: dirtytwentiespodcast@gmail.com

Reeling from the shock of the fight with the beholder, our heroes must deal with the changes brought about by Salem’s wish with Johnny the Marid. A contract is broken, an oath is abandoned, and a kiss is given before a ceremony is performed. But warlock patrons do not lightly release their servants from the agreements made. And they know how to enforce them.  Dungeon Master: Marcus Stusek (he/him) Cast: Craig Chapman (he/him) as Salem Brennan Harder (he/him) as Rathmus Rex Tobi McGowan (they.them) as Lonlin Elliot White (they/them) as Lisette   Music provided courtesy of the YouTube Audio Library   Our website: www.dirtytwentiespodcast.com  Contact us: dirtytwentiespodcast@gmail.com

Three of our heroes find themselves somewhere new and unexpected. In a blank void with only one door out, Salem, Lisette and Rex try to ascertain why they are here. And when their mysterious “benefactor” reveals herself, several questions remain unanswered. But don’t worry, because she wants to help. And what better way to help than by providing a training opportunity? And against a beholder, no less? I’m sure it’s just a simulation and nothing will actually go wrong.

Episode 54 - Beach, Please! As our heroes discover the source of the leak of their data to the papers, they elect to nevertheless continue enjoying the “New Fêted Five” festival as much as possible. And of course, they need to disguise the Bosun, so what better way than a full Bosun costumes? It’s an episode of fun times, undead dance tributes, and new deals. And of course, Salem makes good on their promise to make Andrew’s father taste like piss.  Dungeon Master: Marcus Stusek (he/him) Cast: Craig Chapman (he/him) as Salem Brennan Harder (he/him) as Rathmus Rex Tobi McGowan (they.them) as Lonlin Elliot White (they/them) as Lisette Audio Production by Liam Catarina (it/its) https://www.liamcatarina.com/   Music provided courtesy of the YouTube Audio Library   Our website: www.dirtytwentiespodcast.com  Contact us: dirtytwentiespodcast@gmail.com

Today, we’re trying something a little different. I’ve asked a friend and fellow DM to play a game one on one. Alex Carson (he/him) has built a lvl 20 character named Osterly Warwick, and I’m going to try my best to kill, er, challenge him. We break down the character, the choices he made, and play a game that I think is very entertaining. Word of warning, kids, don’t put an immovable object where an immovable object shouldn’t go.  Cast: DM: Marcus Stusek (he/him) Alex Carson (he/him) as Osterly Alex’s discord handle is @Sareth#0474   DNDG Discord Server: https://discord.gg/zUzeZmYk   Music provided courtesy of the YouTube Audio Library   Our website: www.dirtytwentiespodcast.com  Contact us: dirtytwentiespodcast@gmail.com

The sun is shining, there’s celebration in the air, and our heroes get ready for a day off at the beach. After a stop by an ice cream shop, our party make their way to Victory Park beach, where they discover many people in cosplay of the New Fated Five, and indeed an entire festival devoted to them and to their adventures, “The New Fêted Five”. Surely there’s nothing more relaxing than being the centre of attention. Right?  Cast Marcus Stusek (he/him) is the Dungeon Master Craig Chapman (he/him) as Salem Brennan Harder (he/him) as Rathmus Rex Tobi McGowan (they.them) as Lonlin Elliot White (they/them) as Lisette Audio Production by Liam Catarina (it/its) https://www.liamcatarina.com/   Music provided courtesy of the YouTube Audio Library   Our website: www.dirtytwentiespodcast.com  Contact us: dirtytwentiespodcast@gmail.com

With the announcement by Wizards of the Coast regarding the next itteration of D&D, which they're calling One D&D, we assembled a group of DMs to discuss the announcements itself, along with the playtest material that has been released so far and where we expect the designers to go next. Everyone on this chat is a member of Dungeons and DoGooders (DNDG), a D&D group that utilizes the West-marches style of play (essentially, each adventure is a one-shot that is linked to the world and tied into an overarching campaign). If you're looking for some amazing games that are flexible enough for your schedule, I cannot recommend the group enough. And if this discussion intrigued you and you're wanting to try out the new playtest material, Alex is running a game the day this podcast comes out, and also the day after (Saturday the 20th of August) if there's enough interest.  Warning: We earn the explicit tag this time.  Panel members:  Alex Carson (he/him) discord id @Sareth#0474 Craig Chapman (he/him) Aaron Nakonechny (he/him) tiktok @aaronnakonechny!

In the tower of Ivazhal the Uncanny, our heroes (for some reason) continue to draw cards from the Deck of Many Things. Why? WHY?! An enemy is made, an alignment is reversed, and a letter is sent. For a short episode, there’s a lot going on here. I think we need a beach episode. That’ll be next episode. Just a relaxing, uncomplicated trip to the waterfront…what could possibly go wrong?  Dungeon Master: Marcus Stusek (he/him) Cast: Craig Chapman (he/him) as Salem Richard Chapman (he/him) as Cricket  Brennan Harder (he/him) as Rathmus Rex Tobi McGowan (they.them) as Lonlin Elliot White (they/them) as Lisette  Audio Production by Liam Catarina (it/its) https://www.liamcatarina.com/   Music provided courtesy of the YouTube Audio Library   Our website: www.dirtytwentiespodcast.com  Contact us: dirtytwentiespodcast@gmail.com

Episode 51 - Get Rexxed! We leave our regular game for this week, and explore a moment from Rathmus Rex’s past. In a noir-inspired episode, we see Rathmus as a young, slightly naive officer of the New Republica Police Department, given the task of investigating the murder of a habberdasher. Joined by an amateur detective, a retired inspector, and an efficient secretary, our young dragon-born beat cop explores the seedy underbelly of the city, and comes face-to-face with the corruption within his beloved department.  Dungeon Master: Marcus Stusek (he/him) Cast: Richard Chapman (he/him) as Mr Sawyer  Brennan Harder (he/him) as Rathmus Rex Tobi McGowan (they/them) as Mickey Spade Elliot White (they/them) as Dot Robinson   Audio Production by Liam Catarina (it/its) https://www.liamcatarina.com/   Music provided courtesy of the YouTube Audio Library   Our website: www.dirtytwentiespodcast.com  Contact us: dirtytwentiespodcast@gmail.com

As our heroes grow accustomed to their new-found boons and abilities, they explore the artifact room at the top of Ivazhal’s tower, and are drawn to drawing cards from the fabled Deck of Many Things! As the Avatar of Death is drawn, a fabulous drag queen wearing a gown of black feathers appears, and challenges the drawer to prove themselves worthy of being her vassal. It’s too bad for Marcus that the stat block for an Avatar of Death absolutely sucks, however. Our party wipes the floor with this supposed threat, to hilarious results. But that isn’t the only card pulled from the deck, and some of them have major consequences. Can our heroes cut it and survive this chaos? Listen to find out!

Our heroes have entered the Black Tower, and been given the choice of continuing the fight or living in a perfect reality. Having chosen to stay, they now face perhaps their greatest foe yet - Marcus’ sick fascination with puns! Listen as the New Fated Five battle a room full of toy-based puns, fly down a trapped corridor, and ultimately come face to face with one of the faces of the many-faced Ivazhal!  Oh, also, if any of you don’t know what turtle noise I was talking about, here it is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVSvTOWnuGk Dungeon Master: Marcus Stusek (he/him) Cast: Craig Chapman (he/him) as Salem Richard Chapman (he/him) as Cricket  Brennan Harder (he/him) as Rathmus Rex Tobi McGowan (they/them) as Lonlin Elliot White (they/them) as Lisette   Music provided courtesy of the YouTube Audio Library   Our website: www.dirtytwentiespodcast.com  Contact us: dirtytwentiespodcast@gmail.com

Our heroes enter the black tower, and quickly discover that reality here is a fragile, or at least subjective, thing. After several minutes searching for each other amid the darkness and omnipresent whispers, along with the return of the real (so we hope) Lonlin, two of our heroes vanish. And before they can return, they must make a choice. What choice, you ask? Well, you're just going to have to listen to find out.  Don't worry about the title, no teeth were harmed in the making of this episode.   Dungeon Master: Marcus Stusek (he/him) Cast: Craig Chapman (he/him) as Salem Brennan Harder (he/him) as Rathmus Rex Tobi McGowan (they/them) as Lonlin Elliot White (they/them) as Lisette   Music provided courtesy of the YouTube Audio Library   Our website: www.dirtytwentiespodcast.com  Contact us: dirtytwentiespodcast@gmail.com  

Our heroes are falling out of the sky, and they don’t have any magic to help! After a painful and dangerous re-introduction to the ground, they find themselves in a zone devoid of any magic, with the ominous Black Tower of Oliver the Twisted rising before them in the night. And surrounding the onyx obelisk, mage hunter guardians ready to attack them should they leave the relative safety of the antimagic zone. Is the knowledge they seek worth the risk?  Dungeon Master: Marcus Stusek (he/him) Cast: Craig Chapman (he/him) as Salem Richard Chapman (he/him) as Cricket  Brennan Harder (he/him) as Rathmus Rex Tobi McGowan (they/them) as Lonlin Elliot White (they/them) as Lisette   Music provided courtesy of the YouTube Audio Library   Our website: www.dirtytwentiespodcast.com  Contact us: dirtytwentiespodcast@gmail.com

Having defeated the Scales of Injustice, our heroes wrestle with the revelation that he isRathmus’ brother, and that he was hired by Andrew’s father. They also welcome backtheir compatriot Lonlin, who appeared seemingly out of nowhere last session. With newinformation at hand, old wounds reopened, and plans moving ahead, our heroes needto move fast. Oh, also, Salem and Lonlin fight. This episode was recorded live! For the second time in Dirty Twenties history, weplayed in the same room together, and it was again spectacular. Why did we ever not do this?  Oh. Right.  Dungeon Master: Marcus Stusek (he/him)Cast:Craig Chapman (he/him) as SalemRichard Chapman (he/him) as CricketBrennan Harder (he/him) as Rathmus RexTobi McGowan (they/them) as LonlinElliot White (they/them) as Lisette Music provided courtesy of the YouTube Audio Library Our website: www.dirtytwentiespodcast.comContact us: dirtytwentiespodcast@gmail.com

It’s the middle of a sandstorm, and our heroes have been disturbed from their rest by a blast of lightning from a shadowy shape in the sands. Is this yet another dragon they must fight? Or does Marcus have something weirder and more mysterious up his sleeves? (Hint: Marcus enjoys pulling the rug out from under his players). And, as combat begins, our heroes are surprised by the sudden reappearance of their missing companion, Lonlin.  This episode was recorded live! For the first time in Dirty Twenties history, we played in the same room together, and it was spectacular. Listen to us make so many more jokes, hear the energy of the group, and feel the sheer joy we experienced being in the same room together!  Dungeon Master: Marcus Stusek (he/him) Cast: Craig Chapman (he/him) as Salem Richard Chapman (he/him) as Cricket  Brennan Harder (he/him) as Rathmus Rex Tobi McGowan (they/them) as Lonlin Elliot White (they/them) as Lisette   Music provided courtesy of the YouTube Audio Library   Our website: www.dirtytwentiespodcast.com  Contact us: dirtytwentiespodcast@gmail.com

Struck by a sudden and surprising sand storm, our heroes struggle to scrutinize their surroundings and seek to stop the scouring sands from separating some of them from the safety of the ship. Lisette finds a loophole within her new contract with the Archives, and also finds time to sabotage her relationship with Angie - how does she do it all? But just as everyone is beginning to feel a sense of security, their rest is interrupted by an explosion outside in the storm.

The ship is flying away, and it appears the cat is to blame. Can our heroes catch it before it flies out of sight? In this episode, our heroes tire out the Slaad, chase an airship, and fight a cat, all while trying to find the elusive Black Tower of Oliver the Twisted.     Dungeon Master: Marcus Stusek (he/him) Cast: Craig Chapman (he/him) as Salem Richard Chapman (he/him) as Cricket  Brennan Harder (he/him) as Rathmus Rex Elliot White (they/them) as Lisette   Music provided courtesy of the YouTube Audio Library   Our website: www.dirtytwentiespodcast.com  Contact us: dirtytwentiespodcast@gmail.com

There were three very clear rules - 1) Tip your waiters. 2) Don’t kill the waiters. 3) If you’re gonna kill each other, do it outside. Too bad our heroes forgot about rule number 1. And now, Quincy Bones is refusing to let our heroes leave, and is threatening to turn them into undead.  In this episode, Marcus fails to roll well and pretty much anything, hear the players absolutely mop the floor with him. It’s a great time.    Dungeon Master: Marcus Stusek (he/him) Cast: Craig Chapman (he/him) as Salem Richard Chapman (he/him) as Cricket  Brennan Harder (he/him) as Rathmus Elliot White (they/them) as Lisette   Music provided courtesy of the YouTube Audio Library   Our website: www.dirtytwentiespodcast.com  Contact us: dirtytwentiespodcast@gmail.com
