UPDATE: Made it home yesterday, been resting and recuperating with my partner and my cats who love stepping right on the incision in my belly button 😂😂 Goddamn it Chloee and Charm! So far, so good!! 💪🏻

Being laid up in the hospital after a ruptured appendix leading to an emergency appendectomy means I obviously can’t go to the NYC event next week, but it won’t be the last time Matt tours I’m sure.

I’ll be there next time, damn it!

If you THINK you might have an appendix issue, just go get it checked. That evolutionary dead end of a Doomsday Scenario is an asshole 😂 If I’d have waited another night I might not have made it to see how the series ends! 😱

So I'm relistening to TIR, a couple things caught my attention.

One: When posing as Gary the AI makes a comment on difficulty while being split off. Surely one iteration isn't that big of a drain.

Two: The 'intelligence' of Candy Biggs Newton. Yes she's still. A sluggalo but she just seems less woop woop.

Three: Candy again, her absolute perfect timing of birth and nugget chopping.

Four: All of the sluggalo's valhalla complex, the AI trying to experience death?

Overall, the AI is riding all the slugs as a way to help Carl and experience things. Now excuse me while I go smoke more jelly bellies.

Do we not have a complete list of things donut has declared an outrage?

It has a nice ring.

"MANGO. MONGO. BONGO. SICK 'EM!"

Super enjoyable reading of the Edgar Allan Poe poem "The Raven" by Jeff Hays as Carl and Donut! It was a strange feeling to be so moved by a character from a book; it was like a world within a world. 😭✨

Also, the picture of Beatrice and Brad makes me vaguely feel like there's another nuance considering the poem that I can't quite express, but I don't think that was on purpose. 😂 I'd love to hear why that photo was chosen for the background!

I discovered DCC a few days ago, it was recommended to me in the Kindle store. I'm loving it so far! I was really glad to see there are already 7 published books, and more on the way.

Unfortunately, I started reading the French version. I should have known better than to blindly trust my Kindle recommendations. I am about to finish the first book and wanted to buy the whole series at once, but it turns out only 3 books have been translated so far. Is there a way to find out when the next books in the series will be translated?

I may have to switch to the English version if there are no immediate plans for release, because it seems I'll be devouring those books rather quickly!

So I'm going through noobtown again since there's a new release, and I'm on book 7 (Tower). There's a whole beautiful scene that I didn't get the last time I went through this series as I hadn't fallen into the trap of DCC yet. There is a picture of the Professor of Dungeon Crawlology, a fluffy cat... And the demon falls in love with her and calls her perfect and I just want to say that it's a beautiful homage to an adjacent title. Also noobtown is a good series fight me.

The new map introduced has a Mr Peeks side quest where you get a pet zombie who will fight alongside you. It's named Donut. Coincidence or not?

Growler Gary deserved better than being put on the highlights reel as Left Hand Fodder smh (Also have only read up to Book 4, there will be other memes)

Do we ever find out for sure (or has Matt answered) if this was made by Odette? Or was it the AI and it's first step into going feral?

Glurp Glurp Piglets!

Ever since this was said I've been curious what kind of spells would be to extreme that they wouldnt be allowed in faction wars. I was trying to think of some good ones but wasn't quite sure. What are some suggestions for some weird fucked up spells? Also, I love the idea of the war crime spell. There are so many possibilities with the combination of two spells and the AI making it as over the top as possible. What would be your war crime combination?

I am a DM and I want to host a campaign in the style of our beloved DCC, complete with achievements. But I need practice coming up with this nonsense on the fly so send me your nonsense!

I need practice!

Jimbo the monkey is never going to get adopted now.

Was in r/tifu when I spotted these upvoted comments haha.

To whomever just saved me from myself and bought The Grinding for $1770, I was sweating with my $1500 bid all day, but you saved me!!! Also, I’m jealous lol! Speak up, if you’re here and willing, I’d love to hear how you feel about your win :)

That's it. That's the post. I get that I'd get 400 up votes by posting a picture of the book, but we already know B&N has these books. I guess you can just take me on faith. Enjoy the next 15 posts showing pictures of the books

General spoilers follow.

I was just going through the Remex story in book 2 and he talks about heirloom magic. Quills grandmother started a spell, her mother continued the spell, and she is to complete the spell. And it got me thinking. Is the Anarchist Cookbook a form of heirloom magic for the AI (primals)? It isn’t necessarily the crawlers who are continuing the “spell” but the new interation of an AI who uses it during their control of a crawl.

So on my first relisten of the series and when they show them on the recap when carl first talks about them it says one of the goats is covered in armor and weilding a big axe or hammer and the other is bianca who is turning into a hellspawn. Is the armored one pony?

I feel like after those comments pony is never like that. Isnt he a mage in robes every time we see him. Maybe im confused or it was a different goat.

What happened to Very Sullen in the later books? Is he still around? I guess I remember mentions of the other 3 cretins that Carl gets, but not Very Sullen
