Dungeons and Doritos

Latest Episodes:

Regrouped and Poised to Return! Aug 17, 2022

Show notes

Nerdy Show’s epic RPG audio drama, Dungeons & Doritos has long been dormant. The series was side-swiped by an unscheduled hiatus in 2017, a Q&A was released in 2019 with the promise of a return... and now, at long last, the silence is broken!

Cat, Lefty, Colin, and Ruel have once again gathered to game, and on the eve of this momentous event recorded this notice to celebrate the occasion. They've forced Galdap out of retirement, their dice are polished, Doritos have been supped upon, and as of this publishing, we have all new adventures recorded! However, when these sessions will see public release as fully-produced RPG audio dramas is another thing entirely!

New episodes will arrive as soon as possible on an erratic schedule left entirely to the whims of this upside down world, but the important part is: they will come. If you're interested in listening to our RPGs without the audio drama? Raw episodes of Dungeons & Doritos are coming to our Patreon, again, on an erratic schedule, but much faster than fully-produced, finished episodes.

What have our party been up to in their Midgardian lives? Catch up with our crew and discover all the exciting projects they're a part of and the RPG adventures they've been on outside of Dortitodonia in this special episode!

Come See Us at PodTales! Oct 20th, Cambridge, MA Oct 10, 2019

Show notes

Jamela is upset about the lack of new Dungeons & Doritos, but Cap has a proposal on how you can pass the time.

We're going to PodTales a festival of audio drama and audio fiction. It's free, it's in Cambridge, MA, and it's on October 20th.

More info here: https://podtales.org/

We've got a table (A5/6 in the Mt. Absalom room) and several panels including this one at 2PM: "Living in the Moment: Writing Through Improvisation" in The Hephaestus (Second Floor). Hosted by Cap and featuring Hem "Volonda" Cleveland (The Lucky Die, Dark Dice) Natasha Haverty & Brendan Pelsue (We Are Not These People), Sean Howard (Civilized, Alba Salix: Royal Physician, The End of Time and Other Bothers). The first storytellers didn't sit around plotting – they lived in the moment and collaborated with others to tell taller tales! Our panel shares the secrets of wielding spontaneity and collaboration as tools for creating unprecedented drama, laughs, and realism in your stories - as well as how to craft recording environments to enhance and manipulate your cast's performances, how to plot without a script, and how to elevate improvised material to audio excellence with scripted revisions and cinematic production.

D&D Q&A 2 Feb 20, 2019

Show notes

Long, long ago a legend was born... a legend of crusaders... and corn chips... of Dungeons & Doritos...

This groundbreaking hybrid of an actual play podcast and an audio drama blundered through dice rolls and spun sordid tales of mayhem, until it was suddenly silenced. However, while the giant slumbers, the cast and fans of Dungeons & Doritos pine ever for the gleaming day when it shall return. And lo - dusting off our musty feed - it's the second D&D Q&A!

Join Cat (Jamela), Colin (Barty), and Lefty Lucy (Lefty) as well as special surprise guests for a reunion where YOU ask the questions! Learn secret backstories, plans, plots, and characters that never came to fruition, roleplaying challenges, and much more!

Update 2018 :: The Happs From Galdap and a D&D Reunion Aug 27, 2018

Show notes

Do you feel sick to your stomach? If so, that's probably Galdap forcing a psychic message into your Midgardian meat. Best to listen in and the gassy bloating will subside. Your old wizard pal has some news about what's going on behind the scenes with the D&D crew and where you can hear a surprise reunion between Deen and Jamela.

Chapter 17 :: The Root of the Problem Aug 01, 2017

Show notes

Back from the brink of death, the party finds themselves remarkably more doomed than they were before! A pack of wolves intended to lead the wounded Barty, Jamela, Lefty, and Bogo out of the Jötunnden; only to be intercepted by a god-like ruler of the woods and from there... all hell breaks loose as every freaky animal in the forest gets unleashed and even the plants do their damnedest to help our heroes to a swift demise. Can they survive another lethal onslaught from this magical forest? And if they make it out, what high price will this fool's errand cost?

This will be our last episode for a while, see our prior D&D bulletin for details on this unscheduled hiatus.

Update July 2017 :: Upcoming Unscheduled Hiatus Jul 01, 2017

Show notes

Some bad news Dungeons & Doritos fans. Our next episode, coming out later this month, will be our last for an undetermined amount of time.

This unscheduled hiatus is the result of an unfolding struggle for one of our key cast members, which Cap can offer some clarity on in this audio update. The short version is that we have no idea when we'll be able to resume recording. It's a bummer situation all around.

This all comes at a really challenging time for two other reasons:

1) Ghostbusters: Resurrection just went on an unscheduled hiatus for completely unrelated circumstances.

And 2) a large shift in our Patreon funding has put us in a position where if D&D were still on schedule, we might not be able to afford for it to come out monthly anymore.

Again, details in this accompanying audio bulletin. We'll keep our Dungeons & Doritos feed updated with details as they come in and we'll get back to recording as soon as possible. In the meantime we're going to divert our production efforts and funding to finishing up several other in-demand RPG audio drama projects: Star Wreck, Pokéballs of Steelix, and a new installment of The Call of Cthulhu Mystery Program.

If you're not already, please consider joining us on The Nerdy Show Network Patreon (http://bit.ly/2sDsYeL). Even a dollar makes a huge difference and helps offer us the stability we need to keep ahead of production. As soon as we're able, our quest will begin again.

Chapter 16 :: At Death's Door Jun 26, 2017

Show notes

Deep in the Jötunnden, a forest overrun with magicks and infested with savage beasts, our heroes lay dying. What should have been a simple rescue mission went horrifically wrong and saw Jamela, Barty, Lefty, and Bogo face off against towering man-eaters with iron hides. They beat their foes, but at a terrible cost. Bogo and Lefty are bleeding out, Barty was crushed, and Jamela fell unconscious. They're far from help and woefully unprepared. Pray for healing checks and pray for powerful rolls, 'cause luck and wits are the only things that can get them out of this. After all, we may be an audio drama, but the roleplaying is real, and so is the character death. Just ask Krath.

Chapter 15 :: Into the Jötunnden May 08, 2017

Show notes

A risky rescue mission sees our heroes lost in a magic forest that makes even the Northlanders jumpy. Somewhere, out in the all-consuming mists lurk the Jötunn - massive, monstrous man-eaters that did a number on poor ol' Shovel Guy and abducted some of Lefty's crew. Now the Pirate Queen, Jamela, Barty, and Bogo are on the hunt, but soon find themselves hunted. Split up, overpowered, and unprepared, this quest quickly escalates into one of the most dangerous encounters the team has ever faced. Brace yourselves for a harrowing fight to survive against nightmarish odds and savage man-beasts! One bad roll could cost you your life.
