Join Ben Costa and James Parks—creators of Rickety Stitch and the Gelatinous Goo and Dungeoneer Adventures—alongside lead playtester and stead-fast companion, George Higgins, as they navigate the tension-filled and humor-packed Gretchomaticus dungeon rescue mission in the Land of Eem TTRPG, set in the Mucklands Campaign Sandbox Setting and published by Exalted Funeral. This episode is a rollercoaster of strategy and fantasy buddy-comedy, with George reluctantly hauling ancient rations, Rylee dangling unconscious on a conveyor belt, and the team juggling athletic checks and clever planning to outwit a deadly grinder. As Gretch leads the party deeper into the Gretchomaticus, they uncover a plot thick with corporate exploitation and environmental retribution, facing eerie gremlins and a colossal mega engine. Pop culture references, from Ghost Rider to Star Wars, inject levity into the dark themes, as the group balances humor with serious role-playing in their face-off against the Liberator, a formidable antagonist with a vendetta against forest-destroying goblins.
