310 Side Quest - Banana Chan (Forgery, Jiangshi, Revenant Society, Chucky, The Darkness At The Brink Of Ohio)

Mad Dungeon

Our guest this week is Banana Chan as we continue our Gary Con 2024 series of 50 years of Dungeons and Dragons interviews. We discuss her upcoming The Darkness At The Brink Of Ohio, a solo journaling game with a soundtrack with a full cast. You’re one of three late shift workers listening to the radio, while being consumed by a parasite. She discusses her inspiration from the Juggernaut LARP by Jason Morningstar.

We talk about her history with Dungeons & Dragons, writing for D&D, and how that fits into her work in the indie space and using the Powered by the Apocalypse engine in particular. We talk about finding your people in this community.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

THE MEGA DUNGEON MEN EP is out now on all streaming platforms. Our new TTRPG fantasy meets hip hop album features Mega Ran, MC Frontalot, Denkles and Dizzy the Bard dropping verses alongside Dragon Warrior and Tiger Wizard all set to nostalgic beats by Inner Resting.

NEW POSTER MAP: We have a new poster adventure map now available for purchase at Exalted Funeral based on our Mad Dungeon season one, episode 20, Song of the Shriekfrapp, with the legendary Erol Otus—who not only made the adventure with us, but also illustrated the 11x17 front-side poster image!

The water is draining away at the secret golden oasis because of all the infighting between the adorable, ear-like loboids. Can you help the tiptoers, bouncers and striders to stop bickering and unite with their magic dance to save their home from being destroyed by the slumbering Shriekfrapp? I hear that it’s good luck to flip a gold coin into the water when you arrive.
