Botched: A D&D Podcast

Welcome to Botched: A D&D Podcast!  In part two of our crossover, the group attempts to board the steamboat. However, since they’ve kicked off a little mini war on the dock, they have to manage not to get shot first. Phase two of that plan will then be to somehow get onto the boat.

Welcome to Botched: A D&D Podcast! We are joined once again by friend of the show, incredibly talented, Chelsea Bytes! Reprising her role as Porscia, although now much crispier after she got blown up by an RPG earlier in the season.

Welcome to Botched: A D&D Podcast! Due to the group’s quick thinking, they are managing to stay a few steps ahead of the soldiers in that area. However, the noise has brought in a new problem. A monster few have ever seen, and is more of a myth than anything else. The fungal Abomination. A giant rolling ball of bodies fused together with fungus. A roving creature of mouths and eyes, limbs made...

Welcome to Botched: A D&D Podcast! Oh no, Kevin’s dead. I know everyone is going to be really torn up over that one. Luckily for the group, he died when he did, because he started hearing voices telling him to kill and skin people, so it was probably for the best. On the bright side, they managed to secure the cure and get out of the building before it exploded. However, there is some strange...

Welcome to Botched: A D&D Podcast! The group is now deep into Colorado University, especially the research facility where the next piece of the cure is residing. Larren is obviously the smartest member of the team, while Kevin is rapidly losing his mind.

The group has to get to the research facility, get in, and get out, whil...

Welcome to Botched: A D&D Podcast! Earl has been bitten, scratched, and pummeled by the fundead. We all know, it’s just a matter of time before he turns. He seems to have gone entirely into self preservation mode, threatening to not even fly the party back home without giving him “the cure.” Now that they’re back in the camp, a panic sets in because Earl knows he has to get his hands on a cure...

Welcome to Botched: A D&D Podcast! The group has found another piece of the cure! Now, all they need to do is just get back to Patrick and then the helicopter. However, as they are running away they aren’t quite as quiet as they ought to be. Soon they hear the approaching stomp stomp squish of the queen and her two hulking monstrosities. The group must now make a hasty decision. Make a run for...

Welcome to Botched: A D&D Podcast! A new party member! Yay! Larren I’m sure will just love Kevin, River, and Earl. They are just…the best… As we left our adventurers, River was being an idiot and waking up the fundead while they tried to be sneaky. Guess what, he just can’t stop doing it. It’s like they found this guy in a Looney Tunes cartoon.  At least everyone else can pull their weigh...

Welcome to Botched: A D&D Podcast! Now that the obligatory shopping is out of the way, let's get back to our quest!

After recruiting the next generation in cure chasers, they dig under the web and begin to sneak into the University. Patrick, of course, is s...

Welcome to Botched: A D&D Podcast! Unsurprisingly, whenever the players begin to make comments about not advancing the plot, you can bet there will be a shopping episode. Was it designed that way? Of course not. The players just love shopping and haggling. They can’t help themselves. Before they set off to Stanford, they need a coyote. Or, someone to show them the safest way in and out. They a...

Welcome to Botched: A D&D Podcast! Charlie has decided to stay behind in Monke Town and bridge the gap between humans and Monkes. The party now must move on without the most overpowered member.

Welcome to Botched: A D&D Podcast! Welcome back Jon Swartz! For those of you who aren’t patrons, you might not recognize Jon, but he’s been on a few one offs both as a player and as a DM. Now he plays a half man half mandrill inhabitant in Monke Town. On top of that, Tristan’s new character, Earl, seems to be one of his weirdest yet because of his odd obsession with what he feeds this monke ma...

Welcome to Botched: A D&D Podcast! Who could have known that the monkeys living in the woods of california were a real thing? Well, they are, and the kind of saved the group from a mutated Sean.
