Our heroes, with the help of their new ally Verone, race through the labyrinth of the Drowned Rat, in order to escape the fearsome figure known only as "The Conductor". Featuring; Kit Berry (as Verone), Ashleigh Blechynden (as Elsie), Karolina Firman (as Mrs. Mugwort) and Damian Ashcroft (as DM) Editing and Music by Damian Ashcroft

Our heroes (well, most of them), venture into the domain of the Drowned Rat itself! Elsie and Mrs. Mugwart must face this twisted realm if they are to bring the Violet Monk to heel, and not all down here is as it seems... Featuring; Kit Berry (as Verone), Karolina Firman (as Mrs. Mugwort), Ashleigh Blechynden (as Elsie) and Damian Ashcroft (as DM) Editing and Soundtrack by Damian Ashcroft

The citizens of Duopolis eagerly crowd into the city area to hear the contenders for High Chair duke it out for their votes. With the Violet Monk safely locked up, and Gwenyth still in hiding, what could possibly go wrong?

It's heating up in Duopolis as election day draws near. Elsie seeks to depose Lord Thickboi as Mayor, and with Mrs. Mugwort behind her the city has never seen a more contentious race. Mitochondria tries to stay out of the city's politics, but as Chief of the Redguard it's not so easy. Meanwhile, the Violet Monk rots in a dungeon, plotting his revenge...

Damian, Karolina, Elizabeth and Ashleigh prepare for their next adventure in Duopolis City! Get the inside scoop on what to expect in the upcoming season in this episode, normally reserved for our Patreon feed.

Damo teams up with players from Lightbulb Improv in Canberra for a "not-quite-a-DandD" one-shot! In Blank-Page DandD everything is made up from scratch, with only the barest framework of "rules" to capture the spirit of the world's favourite role-playing game, for a 100% improvised adventure! Featuring; Damian Ashcroft (DM/Composer) with; Amy Crawford, Ryan Erlandsen and James Lim (of Lightbulb Improv)

The Surrealia cast work to answer that age-old question; what is DandD? Moreover; how and why to we play it? Ashleigh, Damian and Karolina talk about their history with DandD, share insights on role-playing and improvisation and break down some of the core game mechanics that so many find confusing.

All three keys are in our heroes’ possession, and new alliances are being forged between the Redguard and the Rat Brigade. Now the party must figure out how these pieces fit together and claim their prize, will Lord Mayor Thickboi hold up his end of the bargain? With; Ashleigh Blechynden (as Elsie), Karolina Firman (as Mrs. Mugwart), Elizabeth Savage (as Mitochondria), Ewan Lawrie (as Gub) and Damian Ashcroft (DM/Editor/Composer)

Gwenyth has our heroes captured, and the keys are within her grasp! She stands to claim victory for the Rat Brigade in the Great Race, but Gub and the Redguard are waiting in the wings, and our heroes, though bound, are far from out of options... With; Ashleigh Blechynden (as Elsie), Karolina Firman (as Mrs. Mugwart), Elizabeth Savage (as Mitochondria), Ewan Lawrie (as Gub) and Damian Ashcroft (DM/Editor/Composer)

Elsie, Mrs. Mugwart and Mitochondria have run afoul of the warlock Gwenyth, meanwhile Gub wakes up with hangover in Redguard Mansion. He meets a couple of new friends who help him get to the bottom of his business with the New Unified Church of Light, before going in search of the others. With; Ashleigh Blechynden (as Sandra), Karolina Firman (as Caelen), Ewan Lawrie (as Gub) and Damian Ashcroft (DM/Editor/Composer)

The last key is “in the heart of your greatest foe”. Our heroes, feeling that to mean Timothy, head to the Magenta cathedral to find the remains of Timothy’s true love, the kobold Quincey. Their search, oddly enough, leads to them finding more than they bargained for yet again. With; Ashleigh Blechynden (as Elsie), Karolina Firman (as Mrs. Mugwart), Elizabeth Savage (as Mitochondria) and Damian Ashcroft (DM/Editor/Composer)

The third day dawns and our heroes head out to find the final key, but they are waylaid by Radley!, chief of the Redguard. He demands vengeance for his comrades, laid low in Peter Piper’s basement. Blood must be paid, but who’s? With; Ashleigh Blechynden (as Elsie), Elizabeth Savage (as Mitochondria), Ewan Lawrie (as Gub) and Damian Ashcroft (DM/Editor/Composer)
