The Formal Gamer : A Dungeons And Dragons Podcast

Grot and Dante get up to some cave and shoe based hijinks. This is what people want from narrative based games. The chance to screw with things and throw stuff about. It's a classic.

There's darkness and depths, which I am fairly certain what the D and D stand for in DnD. Grot and Dante have got a vampire army to wipe out and a ward to avenge.    

The boys have got some sad decisions to make. And now Grot is even more angry than before...and he was hardly chilled out.

The less I say the better. Less = Better. But...intense...     Here is a link to the new store at Threadless. Go and bathe in its magnificence. Or order a t-shirt. Or don't. You know it really is up to you.   You can also find us on Facebook and Twitter and you can check out our website.

Abu has done a map. And I forgot to tell you how good it was. Look at our Twitter and our Facebook and tell Abu how amazing he is. He deserves it. Or he'll rob you. He's got over 100 gold pieces, so it would be a real robbing spree.   This weeks episode is combat heavy. And chaos heavy. Enjoy.

The island is a site of war. A weird little guerrilla war, and Dante and Rill are late for action. How will Grot cope with protecting his little island all on his own...well and with Gorlock. But is he more help or hinderance?   Here is a link to the new store at Threadless. Go and bathe in its magnificence. Or order a t-shirt. Or don't.

Oh things are getting schemey again...Death Island is coming along...

You're about to hear an epic tale...ENJOY

Grot and Dante are still skulking and scheming. That is their default setting to be fair. If they are not skulking then they're scheming, and if you can't see them scheming you can bet they'll be skulking. I'm not sure when they find time to be useless.   Here is a link to the new store at Threadless. Go and bathe in its magnificence. Or order a t-shirt. Or don't.

We are in the throws of running away and running toward. Just a lot of running. Mainly to get out of trouble, but also to make sure that Gorlock is ok.  At some point they need to get into this circus and start looking at these tents...

Sorry I'm late. I feel like Gorrus, but in real life. Shooo Shorrry.   Dante and Grot have been causing chaos, but now they have some stuff to get done. And there is no way that they could get into more trouble. They just need to get to town and buy some supplies. Simple...so so simple.

Grot and Dante just can't stop finding naughty circus folk. And when they find naughty circus folk then there is some violence-a-coming. Let's just hope that neither one of them loses sight of what's important...

Dante definitely meant to stab Gorlock. Grot doesn't realise this. So that's another great moment in the most awkward friendship. Poor, poor, Gorlock. Grot and Dante have got a funfair to investigate. It will definitely be a subtle affair, that we know. And no one will get stabbed.  

This gets awkward. I can't say too much about it, but it is going to get really awkward.  Grot has a son now...and if anything happened to him then he would be furious.  So, so furious.

Grot and Dante are investigating a small innocent town. There is something up, but uncovering it is going to take subtlety, care and attention. So this is the perfect team for the job.

Grot and Dante have decided that this plan, to subtley infiltrate an evil cult, needs them to take on a ward and befriend a family of farmers. This will of course never go wrong, and will never become stupid or complicated. IT JUST WON'T HAPPEN.

Thanks for all the kind comments about Season 11.  Grot and Dante are back, and they have learnt how to rob people (though it's an expensive past time). And now they have a new victim/friend Rafaq. Surely being friends with a cursed knight and a Bugbear executioner can't bring instability to his life.    

We run down the history of Grot and Dante, and then they work out how to get to a small village along a country road. That is the only challenge...and yet it somehow becomes something much, much more.   Thanks to all our listeners for their patience recently. I know the podcast has been a bit more chaotic, and I can only thank you for sticking with us.    I hope you enjoy what I think is one of the best starts to a season we've had.

This sounds better. After 10 minutes anyway. Thanks to all those who took part at Dragonmeet this year. When I have more time I will write some proper thanks and give shout outs on Twitter. Real life needs to chill out for a bit.

We are back in the podcastzone at Dragonmeet. The recording sounds awful because I am an idiot. This was a string of bad moves in recording in December. There is a longer apology in the podcast intro. Sorry.   The situation this year is a lot of fun. Mike Technique is selling a house, and each group of players get a discount if they collect some gems from inside. An inprobable and ridiculous scenario. So each group must navigate this mansion. However any mess and chaos they leave behind must be sorted by the groups that follow them.  How fascinating!   This year we are joined by  Merely Roleplayers and  The D20 Future Show   Thanks as always to Kallum from The Rolistes Podcast for setting up the awesome PodcastZone
