We design a one-shot TTRPG scenario each episode based off of a random prompt. Join Forever DM Daniel and his player, another Daniel, for memey adventures, DM tips, and perhaps get some inspiration for your own next session. Or, put us on in the background to simulate living with two roommates who have very bad takes on popular media. New episodes every other Tuesday, 5 AM EST.

Halloween Special: Scooby Cthulhu w/ Josh Greenway (Crash Course DM)

Oct 28 2024 85 mins  
We are back after a long hiatus that we will reinitiate right after this episode. We take one part Cthulhu and one part Scooby Doo to create a frankensteined homebrew rule for a collaborative episode with Crash Course DM. Daniel gets interrupted while Daniel checks the recording. Also Josh is here again. Please check out Crash Course DM for the collaborative episode that will be re

S4 Ep. 12: - Final Part, Final Final (ft. Cod)

Mar 12 2024 57 mins  
Writing the description for this episode has made me realize that it would be pretty irresponsible to just falsely claim that your show has a celebrity feature in the title. We close it all out making a final fantasy boss fight, and that’s okay because none of those words are proper nouns. It’s the final episode for this show’s current format; what happens next is still up in

S4 Ep. 11: Third Part, Casino Zone (ft. The Backrooms [for some reason])

Feb 27 2024 55 mins  
This episode: we do some RAMBLING, followed by some GAMBLING. We try to make a casino zone preamble to the final boss. Daniel trims a palm tree, while Daniel talks about leaf matchups.

S4 Ep. 10: Second Part, Heaven’s Parking Lot (ft. Palworld Rant)

Feb 13 2024 57 mins  
Join us this week for a rant about Palword and the narratives it has sparked online, which is wholly unrelated to the thing we’re actually doing, which is designing the interlude part of our campaign’s final chapter. Daniel lists three activities, while Daniel gets lost.

S4 Ep. 9: First Part, Final Dungeon (ft. D, M, X)

Jan 30 2024 65 mins  
This is it: we’ve finally willed ourselves to sit down and start making up a final dungeon. What’s even more impressive: we take actual notes for the first time, to great benefit. Daniel learns a new word, while Daniel gets emotionally invested.

S4 Ep. 8: JRPG Pet Peeves (ft. Just Chatting)

Jan 16 2024 47 mins  
Welcome to 2024 OSAAT. The first 9 or so minutes of this episode get pretty peaky so don’t forget to throw on your blinders. TBH we kinda forgot what we were doing last year so here’s us channeling Sonic, our favorite Blue Ball, and talking JRPG final dungeons. Daniel makes resolutions, while Daniel gets oneshot.

S4 Ep. 7: The Last Campfire Chat

Dec 19 2023 49 mins  
In our arguably most anxiety-inducing episode yet, we are terrified to commit to anything but do end up with a pretty neat little pre-finale dramatic combat encounter. And yes, we also get introspective. Daniel explains a musical, while Daniel buys a hot dog in character.

S4 Ep. 6: Ice Cave Zone

Dec 05 2023 53 mins  
Just in time for the holiday season, we throw together an underground snow biome to house the 7th and final emerald. Daniel vamps while Daniel looks up Sonic-related images.

S4 Ep. 5: Crystal (of) Light

Nov 21 2023 51 mins  
We design a weird sort of psychological thriller quest about a lonely trickster demigod and otherwise do not go off the rails at all. Just solid, non-stop game design the whole time. Daniel tries some new sounds, while Daniel mentions geographical locations.

A Convention for Virtual Bird People (AKA Twitchcon)

Nov 07 2023 69 mins  
Our inspiration today comes from the feeling of disappointment you get when you go to a convention, among other things. Our Lightning Emerald is also in there somewhere. Daniel does an acronym, while Daniel joins the console war.
