Do you love violently plundering dungeons of their treasure, but tire of all that "surviving" and "actually living to see another day" crap that other games are full of? Do you long for a good old meat grinder like ol' Pappy ran Way Back When(TM)? Do you find more joy in looting the bodies of your fallen companions than actually defeating monsters? Do you have a deep, passionate love for save-or-die traps like Murder Ceilings, Lava Parties, Guillotine Helmets, and Goblin Bombs? Well then my friend, HAMMERCRAWL! is just what you need!
HAMMERCRAWL! is a brutally hilarious dungeon crawl experience. In this Actual Play RPG podcast, your host and Dungeon Master N. Phillip Cole (aka NPC) guides a group of randomly-generated characters to their inevitable demise within a completely procedurally-generated dungeon of horrors and comedy. HAMMERCRAWL! uses a game system inspired by "classic" older games to make an experience both enjoyable by veterans and complete newbies alike. Everything involved is 100% spontaneous, using a collection of random generators to create a completely unique and unexpected dungeon romp. Join us for a pure meat grinder experience just like the days of yore, with stacks of nameless characters to burn through, and a rip roaring good time doing so. Stop by the Rusty Dagger Tavern, quaff your tankards of potent dwarven ale, and then sit around the table with us to Delve into the Depths of Doom-Damned Dungeons of Darkest Darkness.

Ep030: Dungeon Full of Monsters Part 3: Definitely Cat Magic
WOO HOO, NATALIE IS BACK! We missed her greatly, and are super extra ULTRA DRAGON PUNCH EDITION* happy to have her join us again for HAMMERCRAWL! This episode is our third recording session of the ongoing new DUNGEON FULL OF MONSTERS! In this installment of the adventures of THE CRIMSON THORNS, we learn that feline mysteries are afoot, indeed. A new party member joins the crew after a brief visit back to town, and the party gets there, aha, fingers in more than one Chaos Pie...
Oh yeah: do you like mimes? I hope you like mimes. This episode's got mimes, miming mightily.
* The one with the pre-order bonus of an alternate hide color for Vovine the Bovine, of course.

Ep029: Dungeon Full of Monsters Part 2: Two Mollusks and a Dwarf
Our special new extended campaign continues with its second session, here on the HAMMERCRAWL! comedic dungeon crawl podcast! While our process is usually 100% generated on the fly through a mix of improv and quick-draw cards, for this campaign we're using the wonderful DUNGEON FULL OF MONSTERS (by Johnstone Metzger) as the underlying dungeon into which our probably-doomed adventurers are delving. Will Spandrel's will bring order to this chaotic cesspit of evil? Will anyone manage to escape with their limbs intact? Tune in and find out!

Ep028: Dungeon Full of Monsters Part 1: That Garlic-Flesh Smell
Welcome to the beginning of a whole new adventure on the HAMMERCRAWL! comedic dungeon crawl podcast! As always, every aspect of our play is randomly generated via a mix of random tables, inspirational cards, and pure unfiltered improvisation. This time, however, we're changing things up a bit by taking a stab at an actual published dungeon: the excellent DUNGEON FULL OF MONSTERS by Johnstone Metzger! This dungeon is a perfect component for HAMMERCRAWL!-style gaming, as the entire structure and flow of it is driven by its own random tables, right down to how the very dungeon rooms are assembled.
Starting with this episode we're also switching to a full-session release format. This means each episode will encapsulate an entire play session, resulting in longer episodes that listeners can digest at their own leisure. The files are a tad longer, and the releases will be spaced out by a couple of weeks as a result.
Anyway, we have an excellent cast of players once again, and hope you enjoy listening to our chaotic adventures as much as we enjoyed rolling them!

Ep027: Gamestorm 2019 Part 3: Feelings are Healthy
The Gamestorm 2019 live event recording now concludes in the third and final part of this saga. This three-parter was recorded at the Gamestorm convention this past March, right here in Portland, Oregon. As with all of our convention and one-shot gaming events, this game was played "hot seat" style, with new players rotating in every time a party member died in the dungeon. It's always a roaring good time, and this event was no exception! So we hope you enjoy yet another delve into the randomly-generated insanity of HAMMERCRAWL!
