Dicey Bastards S2 E14: Dream Team Steam Scheme

·1 hr·4 clips

Eric Green Tree says he is "like 43" while looking eleven.

1. Authors & Dragons Comedy DnD Podcast’s Dicey Bastards S2 E14, "Dream Team Steam Scheme," centers on a shipboard spa fight against a steam demon. 2. MK Gibson serves as Dungeon Master, while Robert Bevan, Rick Waltieri, Drew Hayes, Emily Kaplan, and Steve Weatherill play Jorser, Moog, Caber, Claudia, and Stan. 3. The episode’s core question is how the Dicey Bastards survive the Pamper Champ while a demon turns relaxation into torture. 4. The recap says Claudia and Caber doused a burning library, while Stan, Moog, and the others ended up in the ship’s spa. 5. Stan’s magic mug creates "a craft of refreshing Kirkland-like beer," and he throws it at the steam demon to poison the vapor. 6. Jorser wakes up after diving into a giant cheeseburger, naked and covered in hamburger viscera. 7. Eric Green Tree, the elf warlock tied to the demon attacks, confronts Jorser and asks him to kill Moog. 8. The spa contains people trapped in chairs, on tables, and in hot rock surfaces while their fingernails and toes are ground down. 9. Caber gets his wind spirit inhaled by the demon, then uses thorn whip and other attacks to keep pressure on it. 10. Claudia fights in murder-bear form and keeps dealing damage despite taking heat from venting steam. 11. Moog breaks out of a torture chair, moves back toward the fight, and uses ray of frost to solidify part of the steam creature. 12. Jorser follows a clue into No Holes Barred, briefly lands in the sex club, and then hears the group’s bracelet chatter about the spa. 13. The team keeps using the communication bracelets to locate one another across the ship’s portals and themed rooms. 14. Stan keeps pouring beer and later says he will drink Kirkland light and piss into the pit, shifting the room’s smell from alcohol to filth. 15. The demon reacts strongly to alcohol vapor, shrinking and then venting steam whenever the party lands a hit. 16. Several jokes turn on the contrast between heroic language and gross details like "meat Merkin," manicure torture, and "folk maxing." 17. The table’s tone is improvisational, loud, and heavily dependent on character banter between combat turns. 18. The format mixes recap narration, tactical combat, and constant interruptions from the players and DM. 19. Listeners who enjoy crude D&D banter, author in-jokes, and chaotic party combat should like this. 20. Listeners looking for clean combat, low gross-out humor, or minimal table chatter should skip it.

As heard by us

A steam demon scramble tightens up once Claudia lands a frost hit and the bracelet gag starts carrying clues.

Dream Team Steam Scheme follows a steam choked rescue job that keeps slipping into a fight with the rules of reality. The sharpest beat comes when Claudia lands her ray of frost and the demon finally feels solid enough to hit, which gives the table an opening it actually needs.
