Dungeons & Doritos

[Lint of Death]

There's a new podcast around, called The Nerdy Show, that features Brian Clevinger, the author of webcomics like 8-Bit Theater, Warbot In Accounting, and the print comic Atomic Robo. They recently released a two-part (so far) series of episodes called "Dungeons & Doritos", which is similar in structure to the Penny Arcade/et al. D&D podcast, but much more absurd and with radio music interludes.

We take you now to the magical land of Doritodan, where an adventure takes place with a egomaniacal tiefling sorcerer, a chair enchanted into a naked and crazed dwarf, a bumbling goliath, and an overly sensual dragonborn. Listen, and we promise that Dungeons & Dragons will never be the same again.

The conclusion to the first chapter in the sure to be legendary misadventures of CHAIR, Jen Ifir, Vimak, and Jamalla in the magical world of Doritodan. Find out what Mike meant when he said something happened to CHAIR’s brain. Knowing him, it can’t mean anything safe for his comrades’ respective virtue.

Clevinger plays the part of Jen Ifir, the tiefling (it's 4th edition). I'm not far in at all yet, but, with descriptions like what they provide, it's worth a listen!
(can also be downloaded through iTunes)

Roster:
CHAIR, dwarf warden (pervert)
Jen Ifir, tiefling warlock (presumed infernal)
Vimak, goliath shaman (acts and sounds like the Heavy from TF2)
Jamalla, dragonborn invoker of evil Tiamat

Since the latest PA D&D campaign has ended, I was pining for more of this sort of thing.
Will definitely check it out later. Thanks!

[Lint of Death]

Yeah, I was too. This just came out so I think we got lucky :p

Also: I'm almost halfway through the first one, and the tiefling and dragonborn have proven exceptionally hilarious.

edit: the goliath is basically a shaman version of the Heavy from TF2, accent and all!

[Lint of Death]

Halfway through part 2 now. Good stuff!
Small warning: foul language. Furthermore, CHAIR the naked 'dwarf' is dirty as hell. Too much so for my taste, but on the bright side he stays as impressively in character as everyone else. Let's just say he interprets the 'marking' system a little differently... as Clevinger seems to die on the inside :p

Also, I've heard several rules errors, but some might just be house rules. They don't get in the way of the entertainment :D

I am assuming its supposed to be bad on purpose but man. That DM makes me want to pull my fucking face off. If I had someone reading flavor text to me like that I would just break out the math puzzles cause that is like every bad math teacher I have ever had.
I got through the first episode but...I think I will pass.

[Lint of Death]

Yeah, I can totally empathize with that reaction to the DM. Most of the fun details come from the players, oddly enough, especially Jamalla and (perhaps regretfully) CHAIR.

I may give it a go later. Not trying to ding the guys but if its hard to listen to, its hard to enjoy. I will give the 2nd episode a try when I am writing or working or something and see if it is less annoying then this last one.

[Lint of Death]

2nd episode's a long one, I still haven't finished listening to it! I think I got a half hour left or so. It sounds like they're leaving the final Kobold Hall encounter, against the white dragon, for another session.

If it's any sort of disclaimer, I openly admit to being easily amused.

I'm a bit late on noticing it, but there's a new one of these up now (http://nerdyshow.com/?p=422), and another will probably come out next week. I have not yet listened to it, but I expect some good comedy as before.
