Critically Stupid

It's like a regular walk of shame but with jazz hands and pizazz. The canny crowd escape Lady Yalah Gralhund's manor after some light looting, only to find their business being run by child labor. Which is illegal...apparently. Featuring: Alex the DM not googling 'cows' because he's an idiot who doesn't do his research and he's a bad collaborator, Arnold finding a secre...

What do you get when you cross a fantasy-Russian gangster, a corrupt noblewoman, and a the missing key to half a million gold coins? That's not the punchline to a joke, I'm genuinely asking. This week the Brain Trust tries to follow exactly ONE story line cohesively for more than eight minutes at a time. They do exactly as well as you imagine. Featuring: Garath swinging from the ceiling, T...

These four morons go exploring in Yalah Gralhund's manor. Which, just by the way, is breaking and entering by literally *any* description. I'm sure it'll go aces for them. Featuring: - Alex the DM's phony baloney character voices - Tess turning into a cow?? - The smoothest NPC character introduction we've ever had, bar none - A thick Russian accent Follow us! Jess the Mess: @Je...

The thick-headed trust deal with a portal to another realm! Cerulean and Tess handle some murderous crustaceans, while Mel, Arnold and Garath deal with some surprising revelations involving everyone's favorite Waterdeep nobleman, Ranear Neverember. Today, we say goodbye to a cast member. Her time with us was too short, and she'll be dearly missed.    Featuring:   - A Stephen King re...

The Dynamic Dingbats have a guest on the show today! Her name is Jess the Mess and she's AMAZING as I'm sure you'll learn. The gang gets into Lady Yalah Gralhund's Battle of the Bards by the skin of their teeth, and encounter a very drunk Ranear Neverember, a shrill noblewoman, and the fiercest songsmanship Arnold has ever thrown down.    Featuring:   - Tess firing a t-shirt cannon...

Still can't fathom why people don't think we're a family show. The Obtuse Oligarchs collect a *very*serious side quest from Dustin Eggo. Arnold and Garath do a little reconnaissance on their new magic artifacts. And two punk rockers roll into Trollskull manor with a new challenge.    Featuring:  - The triumphant return of Dustin Eggo and Evan Stokesworth  - Garath's new nicknam...

The Dynamic Dingbats are each confronted by a piece of their past. We're all who we say we are until someone shows up who knows who we used to be.  Featuring: Mel apologizing, Garath away gold coins, Arnold being mean, Cerulean asking five questions.    Follow us!   Anthony LaFauci: @AnthonyLaFauci     Katie Cohen: @kcwrites_   Dianna Lee: @diannasaurusr3x &...

The Double-Decker-Dumb-Dumbs find themselves with a simple task: walk into the Waterdeep morgue, and find a corpse to have a nice chat with. Unfortunately for them, they weren't the first to have this plan.   Featuring: Weekend at Fantasy Bernie's, a trio of mustaches, Garath's actually decent plan, Mel, red-faced and sweaty yet again    Follow us!   Anthony LaFauci: @Anth...

How long does it take four idiots to walk through a set of doors? Longer than any of us has patience for. The Cretinous Companions swing through the House of Inspired hands to talk to a totally radical head priest, and discover some unnerving secrets about what lives in the attic at the Temple of Gond.    Featuring:  Garath's 'disguise kit', Mel's casual disdain of *gestures broadly...

Explosions are cool, but do you know what's cooler? Interrogating witnesses. To be fair, the Foolish Foursome here did just sink a cool thousand gold pieces into this tavern only to have the front windows blown off. It's bound to put a damper on anyone's evening.     Featuring:  - Dustin Eggo, *not* being a fool, Arnold's exceptional note-taking skills, Alex the DM's accidental...

Wow we're just out here doing full-on cameos from other podcasts, huh? Is Alex really desperate for characters that he's importing people from real life? Anyway, in this one the crew of the S.S Dipshit finally reconvene after a long evening, and set about turning their dilapidated dump of a tavern into a lean and mean money-making machine. Too bad about that sewer door in the cellar that opens int...

I bet you're thinking to yourself 'wow alex is such a skilled DM, he split the party, and that's really cool and intentional of him.' Friends? Come here. Little closer. He's not very good at this. As you're about to learn.    Featuring: Murder spiders (obviously, it's in the episode title), an ominous wall-knocking, our second-ever community NPC, and the hottest pirate captain Mel has ev...

Four idiots, three attempts at getting out of a fight, two murderous NPC's, and one malfunctioning teleporter. Can these dumb-dumbs talk their way out of their own heist-gone-wrong? Will the call of love finally conquer all? Will Mel murder someone because Dianna lacks impulse control?  It's CRITICALLY STUPID TIME GANG! Big shout out to our friends over at Snyder's Return for shaming our terr...

Joyous Wintertide, you fiends and rapscallions! There's a plague ruining the life of one of the honest businesspeople of Waterdeep; this Santa Claus fellow is putting Fanny McGuckian, the CEO of Fabulous Toys & Tobacco, right out of business! Will the Ghost Mafia help her shut down this bearded menace and save Wintertide? Or will they be swept away by the gingerbread houses and Wintertide magi...

We're BACK baby, season two time. These cerebellum captains are delving into a sewer to try and snatch back some cash from the very gang that they faced off with just yesterday. All it's going to take is some mild contusions, concussions, and a fair amount of luck. What could go wrong?   Featuring:  the much-awaited return of Tim, a pair of hapless bums who are just trying their best, Ga...

Okay, so these ding-dongs have a ghost house. Unfortunately for them, it's kind of a dump. Positive for them, Garath is either a) a medium or b) really good at getting haunted houses to talk. Another negative for them, it's going to cost them a hefty sum to fix it up. Good thing the house has some...let's call them 'creative fundraising ideas'.    Featuring:  A crooked zoning contra...

So, like, we've all been part of an illegal interrogation, right? It's pretty routine. Buncha cops roll in and try to get you to say things, despite your constitutional right to silence. Anyway welcome to our fantasy podcast where no one's right to their voice or body is ever stripped from them and we love it here.     Featuring: Alex stretching his voice-acting skills to their brea...

Our dubious heroes found Floon! He happens to be in the grips of a murderous half-orc who calls himself Portobello. And Portobello just happens to be working on behalf of one of the most powerful and notorious gangs in Waterdeep. And Alex happens to be a Bad DM who doesn't know how to balance an encounter for level 1 characters.   Anyway, I'm sure it'll be fine.    Featuring: &...

The Fearsome Foursome venture into the Waterdeep sewers in search of Floor Bagmaar. Smelling of sweat, soot, ash, and other less...savory aromas. Featuring: Ranear Neverember's wandering accent, Tim the Baby Beholder, How long does it take these idiots to go through a door, and the longest round of combat you've ever heard in your DING-DANG LIFE Follow us! Anthony LaFauci; @AnthonyLaFauci  &n...

Our would-be adventurers traipse into a warehouse full of walking and talking ravens bandits to...well, let's just call it a 'mixed success'.   Featuring : A cougar-hunting Bird-Man. Two of the lethal-est sneak attacks you've ever encountered. An ice-knife in a dark alleyway. SOMEONE setting a teeny-tiny fire   #podcast #podcaster #dnd #dnd5e
