One Shot at a Time

Spoiler Alert: We do explain the plot of the game (mostly correctly). And I do apologize this time. But I’m not happy about it. We look back on Tales of Arise, a game one of us finished, and see if we can’t put our own spin on a plot from the game. Daniel becomes Daniel for the first time, while Daniel experiences torsion.

Spoiler Alert: We do explain the plot of the game. New players beware. Also spoilers for Tales of Arise, but I will not apologize for that one. After taking a trip down JRPG memory lane, we immediately hone in on a childhood classic, Tales of Symphonia. We also talk a lot of trash about a game we played and kind of enjoyed, Blades in the Dark, as well as the usual off-topic nonsense. Daniel displa...

As the world plunges into turmoil, two Ds must once again become one and embark on a quest to make poor references to bits they barely remember. Today we take a first look at Fabula Ultima, a neat JRPG-inspired TRPG system that’s sure to be narrative fun for the whole family. Daniel skips several evolve forms, while Daniel physically recoils at a song reference. Links: Fabula Ultima - Press Start:...

Are all the restaurants booked and you can't find a place to spend your evening with your special someone? Why don't you spend it at home playing imaginary corpse reconstruction. This week we bring on my girlfriend Terra as we tackle her favorite anime Princess Tutu. Terra talks about ballets and Daniel is unable to comprehend it, but he loves listening anyway.

Andrew and I sit down and ask each other questions we thought you all would care about. Daniel explains why he is a yes man and Andrew absorbs the evironment.

It's our last episode of season 4 and last episode of DnD 5e before we pivot into Blades in the Dark. This week we take on the puppet master episode of Avatar the Last Airbender and try to make one ultimate callback reference. Andrew finally builds his Halloween one shot and Daniel forgets the room where it happens.

This week we break the golden rule of podcasting and talk about SpongeBob. This is an add on to our panel we do at conventions. If you don't know what we are talking about come see us at a convention. Andrew trys to remember Overwatch patch notes and Daniel can't speak Japanese.

Ya'll ever wanna just kill a bunch of stuff, gamble and maybe create a board game that already exists. We pull on Andrew's FPS (First person shooter for those uncultured) knowledge and make the prequel to our last Y2k episode. Andrew explains what a spike is and we learn that Daniel can do math. (But not grammar)

This week we throw it back to the 2000s as we rediscover the Y2K scare and learn tips for maintaining a house in Arizona. At least that's what it was supposed to be, but it quickly fell through. Andrew makes his first call back and Daniel acts like a proud father.

We welcome our new co-host Andrew from Season 2 Ep: 19. Now with a wealth of new experiences and six Pokémon he is ready to take on the Podcast challenge again. This time we focus on Pokémon again as Daniel sends out Rhydon and it's super effective on Andrew.

As we say farewell to our beloved Cohost Daniel we tackle his personal prompt Music. It's as vague and open as it sounds. Daniel learns there are musical genres other than pop punk, while Daniel fabricates memories about Rave Master.

This episode commemorates the first listener suggestion to be implemented on the podcast, as well as the 20th anniversary of the release of the 2002 hit film, Catch Me If You Can. An episode rife with celebration. Daniel determines the most painful European country, while Daniel displays his knowledge of One Piece character names.

We try to make something kid-friendly this week (as in the oneshot is kid-friendly; the episode is the usual filth). Our inspiration comes from the animated kids’ series “Bluey”. Or, more accurately, a screenshot of Bluey minis being used in a game of DnD. Daniel learns chronomancy, while Daniel gets introspective.

If you think about it, Twitter and the abject darkness and cruelty of the Warhammer 40K universe actually have a lot in common. We sing “Happy Birthday” to Darktide this week, as Daniel takes you to his new old-new-old corner to talk the latest in gaming. Daniel creates possibly the world’s greatest homebrew rule, while Daniel learns about legendary war heroes.

We started by trying to make something for Thanksgiving but one of the Daniels is clearly just pretending to know what Thanksgiving even is. What we ended up with is a sort of “Build Your Own Action Movie” system. Don’t ask us how we got there from Thanksgiving – just listen to the episode instead so we can boost our metrics. Daniel takes a trip down memory lane, while Daniel explains multiple Son...

Mild spoilers for Black Panther 2 await you in this episode, adventurer. We finally get over our thalassophobia for long enough to make another deep sea adventure, except with more better this time. Daniel declares his first ever off-topic rant, while Daniel advances the podcast mouth sounds meta.

It’s time for another round of “Daniel Rants About a Video Game for Half the Episode”. We use Gotham Knights as inspiration to craft our own city for use in a D&D game–maybe even yours! No? Okay, well, offer stands. Daniel gives some constructive DM tips, while Daniel peaks the audio like never before. Bonus Game Review: Hi, Daniel here. I was only around halfway through Gotham Knights at the...

In celebration of Halloween, we come up with some character concepts that would make even the most appropriative costumes jealous. We talk character creation and our design approaches as we warm up the feed for season 4. Daniel utilizes his legally acquired D&D knowledge, while Daniel finally gets his level 30 job advancement.

We take a look back over Season 1 and talk about future plans for the podcast. Daniel also spends way too long discussing his DM process.

We finish out season 3 with an open love letter to the show’s objectively most valuable listener. Join us in our “Megaman x My Friend’s OC” fanfic, where we journey across the 20XX internet on a quest to save the universe from the oligarchy. Daniel flexes his acting skills, while Daniel becomes the bad boy of podcasting.

Spoiler Warning: The one about Tony Stark from the last episode. Need ideas for a fun sequence where a warlock has to confront their patron and fight for their soul? Well, just click that play button, ya big dummy! Just kidding; I cherish and respect you, dear listener. Daniel struggles to explain a title, while Daniel makes the least helpful analogies in the history of the show.

Spoiler Warning: Avengers: Endgame / Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Imagine making a podcast where you can’t stop vaguely sexualizing underage fairy tale characters. COULDN’T BE ME LOL. Our inspiration today comes from “Night of the Full Moon”, a deckbuilding, roguelite mobile game. Daniel sponsors his own podcast with his own podcast, while Daniel calls out various artists for wasting his time.

We improv (see also: make up a bunch of stuff) a oneshot idea based off of upcoming events in our lives. This episode contains facts about grocery stores. Daniel flexes his editing skills, while Daniel offends the show’s most valuable listener.

WARNING: SPOILERS FOR FROZEN 2 We’ve created something truly beautiful. Get ready for non-stop 100% true facts about movies and wrestling that Daniel recalls accurately and completely on the fly. Daniel gets deep in some lore, while Daniel sings his heart out.

The Capcom simping continues in our latest episode, featuring a Resident Evil fanfic with extra steps. If you enjoyed listening to Daniel explain something he loves to Daniel who knows nothing about it the last time, then you’re sure to enjoy this as well (though why you do is beyond me). Daniel explains cool new ways to railroad your players, while Daniel gets confused about the letter H.
