Dungeons & Doritos

Nerdy Show’s monthly roleplaying series!

A New Beginning!

New to Dungeons & Doritos? Never fear! Much like a comic book, at the end of every storyline there’s always a new point to jump on. In Book I, what began as a one-off Nerdy Show special, became a full-fledged ongoing series with a life of its own. Now, that story continues. Get into the action at the new starting point below!

Join Jen’Ifer the Tiefling, Jamela the Dragonborn, Vimak the Goliath, the chair-turned-dwarf, called Chair and their mysterious new companion, Barty, on mayhem-filled, morally-questionable quests for wealth, honor, and crunchy corn chips.

Embark on adventure!

New listeners start here:
Episode 11 :: Greetings From Corney Island
Episode 12 :: Escape From Corney Island
Episode 13 :: Trial on the Isle of Mages
Episode 14 :: Night of the Golems
Web Comic: Lefty & Jamela
Episode 15 :: D&D-Day
Episode 16 :: Viva La Chaise
Episode 17 :: ‘Til Death Do Us Part
Short: Crunchmas Don’t Be Late
Episode 18 :: The Wizard in the Wasteland

Starting to have withdrawal symptoms now…

@Mythos

Don’t worry, we’re recording a bonus tonight to make up for the wait. Double Doritos!
Cap at December 16, 2010 at 6:50 pm

@Mythos

Oh and I’ll just put this here….

Double doritos?! Yay! I’ll add the forum to my bookmarks.
Argh at December 21, 2010 at 4:49 pm

I’d love to listen, I really would. But the fact that the volume varies between silent mumbling and sudden extremely loud high pitched effeminate giggling and the constant dorito-chewing sounds make it rather painful experience.

Can you edit out everything non-Vimak and just have an hour long collection of pointless quotes?
Cap at December 21, 2010 at 9:51 pm

@Argh I assume you’re talking about our earlier episodes?

Start at episode 5 or dive in at episode 7. Our sound production wasn’t what it is now. That is no longer an issue. We hope to go back and tweak our earlier episodes into more listenable experiences. But until he have the time for that project, stick with the newer ones.

Also, next episode we’re starting a new jumping on point. So there’s that.
Argh at December 22, 2010 at 6:35 am

Oh, alright, I was afraid that was the case as I didn’t get very far, sorry. I’d better give it another go then, thats what workdays are for right?
Cap at December 22, 2010 at 7:29 am

@Argh

Heh, you betcha! Just check out the character bios and you’ll have no trouble jumping in.
dave at January 31, 2011 at 4:05 am

… So is there a january episode? And if 10 was it, when’s the next one? Btw, I just spilled hot cocoa on my balls.
Cap at January 31, 2011 at 5:44 pm

@dave

Unfortunately no January episode. Ruel got really sick and we had to postpone recording- see twitter: http://twitter.com/nerdyshow

But the good news is we’re recording next week, it’s gonna be awesome, and we’re working on some killer DnD-related surprises.

R.I.P. your testes
Dave at February 4, 2011 at 5:41 am

Au Contraire, my gonads have seldom felt so alive, and they’re all a tingle at the news.
Dave at February 11, 2011 at 5:52 pm

Cap, I craves me some DnD’s. I’m about to host mah first legit session, and I need to get psyched!
Cap at February 11, 2011 at 8:16 pm

@Dave

We’re seriously trying to get the new episode out. It’s freaking disaster-wrought. HOWEVER to tide you over:

Sadness and despair consume me, where far art thou Dungeons & Doritos
Cap at February 20, 2011 at 9:55 pm

@Vincent

Recorded and being edited!
Dave at February 21, 2011 at 5:03 pm

editing? It’s best in it’s natural raw form. Even if it sounds like you’re playing over teh nets and nobody’s in the same room. Don’t overproduce pl0x!
Cap at February 21, 2011 at 5:57 pm

@Dave

It’s not all sfx and background music. There’s a lot of cleaning up that needs to be done. You know how loud Hex can be.
BLAM! at February 23, 2011 at 3:03 am

But I WANT my eardrums to be shattered by the occasional thunderous “I AM VIMAK!!” It’s part of the fun.
Dave at February 24, 2011 at 4:15 am

he IS vimak, you just can’t argue
Orabilis at February 24, 2011 at 7:28 pm

Have you guys ever considered playing in the DC Universe or do you feel that perhaps you might just fuckin’ destroy the whole place? It just seems that superhero RPGs would be right up your street and DC Adventures Hero’s Handbook came out recently.
Cap at February 24, 2011 at 9:06 pm

@Orabilis

We’ve got a DCUO review on the upcoming Nerdy Show episode. Mike plays it. His name is Hornblower, he’s a little boy.
BLAM! at February 25, 2011 at 8:12 am

Is someone arguing whether or not he may or may not infact be Vimak? I sure hope not.
Dave at February 25, 2011 at 4:32 pm

I’m just positing that if, in fact, someone were to contest it, the ferociTAH with which he lets it be known would remove all doubt. My first 4e session was last night. Thanks to all of the podcasting, I was ready, and we had a blast. Still cravin me some Dungeons and Doritoes though.
Mythos at February 26, 2011 at 1:49 am

If we just had a D&D of just Jamalla and Jen’ifer walking around and bickering for a few hours, I feel we’d have a higher destruction of all living things than we would with the whole group being together. Am I wrong in thinking this?
Cap at February 26, 2011 at 2:19 am

@Mythos I’m not sure what Brian and I’s relationship would turn into in the process of recording such a thing. But the thought makes me very uncomfortable.
Mythos at February 26, 2011 at 6:01 am

I’m pretty sure one of them would die and the other would dance in the blood of the fallen.
Dave at February 26, 2011 at 7:35 pm

… Otherwise known as mating in teefling culture.
Dave at February 28, 2011 at 8:37 pm

Ok so it’s like, March now = new month = new episode?
Cap at March 1, 2011 at 12:05 am

@Dave

Yup! And rigorously monthly from now on. This new premier will be with much fanfare and explosions. There’s much to do, but it will be soon.

It will also include completely up to date character sheets and stuff I can’t mention yet.
Vincent at March 2, 2011 at 6:42 pm

are you guys gonna post the new episode on the site, or should i just wait for it to pop up on iTunes
Cap at March 2, 2011 at 8:20 pm

@Vincent

Both? I mean- it’ll pop up in iTunes, but when it does there will be a ton of things to look at on the site.
Rotherian at March 3, 2011 at 7:05 pm

Do we have an ETA on Episode 11 yet?
Cap at March 3, 2011 at 8:37 pm

@Rotherian

It’ll show up early next week. It’s a big relaunch, hence the delays. After this goes off we’re nailing down a regular schedule. No more blockage from eating too many Doritos!
Rotherian at March 3, 2011 at 8:51 pm

So, by early, are we talking Wednesday, the 9th or before?
Cap at March 3, 2011 at 9:22 pm

@Rotherian
Hopefully before.
Rotherian at March 4, 2011 at 10:20 pm

Ok. Fair enough. I meant, of course, Mar 9th at the latest, btw.
Dave at March 5, 2011 at 5:35 am

If it’s not in by the 9th I will dub it blizzard release Jr.
Vincent at March 6, 2011 at 5:42 am

no…D&D…for so long… grasp…on…reality…returning…
LSG at March 8, 2011 at 2:58 am

Cap “It’ll show up early next week. It’s a big relaunch, hence the delays. After this goes off we’re nailing down a regular schedule. No more blockage from eating too many Doritos!”

Didn’t you say this before? Like a couple times ;P
Heh, no worries, until this site dies I will be waiting for the next episode.
Cap at March 8, 2011 at 4:57 am

@LSG
We never want delays, but with this new episode we’re gunning to truly make a point, and make DnD feel as regular as any other programming on the site.

Nerdy Show on the whole, since the start of season 4 and so many other projects and jobs, everything has been very trial and error with formatting and scheduling. DnD is by far the hardest thing to lock down for recording. But what I want to instill is that we have a commitment to DnD – it’s awesome and we’re making it a major priority. We have such things planned. And we’ll fight tooth and nail and eldrich blast to bring ‘em to ya.
Lonely at March 8, 2011 at 5:21 am

DND podcasting is like porn for people who need friends. Except that instead of satisfying you in a wrong way, it kinda inspires you to go out and make it happen for yourself. Thanks Nerdy Show
Cap at March 8, 2011 at 6:35 am

A treat for patient and wonderful friends – a 15 minute plus clip from early in the episode:

Boosh!
Rotherian at March 9, 2011 at 4:34 am

I’ll admit it. I rofl’ed.
Cap at March 9, 2011 at 5:14 am

Here’s how this ish went down: Tonight I interviewed Freezepop, therefor DnD won’t be ready til after the 9th, but still this week. Blame them… with hugs and kisses. For anyone who can make it to the DnD event at the Geek Easy tomorrow, you’ll bare witness to some secret DnD awesomeness first.
BLAM! at March 10, 2011 at 6:50 am

I put DnD on my iPod and listen to old episodes while I work. It keeps me from shouting at and or threatining customers/coworkers with Kung Fu. Nerdy Show prevents workplace violence. Thank you.
Rotherian at March 11, 2011 at 5:04 pm

So….by this week, are you including Saturday and Sunday, or is today the day?
Matasm at March 12, 2011 at 4:13 pm

I am all atwitter with anticipation, I ended up doing more Dungeons and doritos fan art yesterday instead of working on my deadline stuff… So worth it, Nerdy show will keep me fed and warm when I’m an unemployed hobo right?….right?
Cap at March 12, 2011 at 10:09 pm

I literally JUST put the finishing touches on the audio file. Expect the episode TONIGHT!

@Matasm
Hey man! Good to see you again! I’d been wondering where you got off to. …Or was it WHAT you got off to… no matter! Where is this art? We MUST see it!
Vincent at March 31, 2011 at 12:44 am

just for clarification, is there now a specific day you guys are gonna release episodes or is it still just a random day of the month?
Cap at March 31, 2011 at 5:26 am

@Vincent

We can’t commit to a specific day just yet. Scheduling for DnD is really tricky. We’re hoping to release the next episode around the middle of April.
