  • Dungeons, Decisions, and Divine Hot Wings
    Aug 6 2025

    Welcome back to the stickiest tavern in podcasting! In this episode of Chat 1 and Done, Rudy takes the hot seat as we dive deep into the world of spite-built D&D characters, gunslingers with magical bullets, and the ethically questionable cuisine of the Forgotten Realms (divine hot wings, anyone?). We also debut a brand-new D&D quiz game: Dungeons & Decisions, where the rules are made up and your dignity is on the line. Topics include:

    • Characters created purely out of vengeance
    • What D&D races would taste best on a grill
    • Tabletop systems beyond 5e
    • Crafting mechanics that don’t suck
    • Our best Nat 20s, our worst Nat 1s, and one emotionally scarred teddy bear

    So grab a drink, lower your standards, and get ready to roll. Just… don’t let Rudy touch the artifact. Again.

  • Rolls, Roasts & Raccoons: A Caffeinated Chaos Crossover
    Jul 16 2025

    Wander into the Chat 1 & Done Tavern as we welcome our very first guest: CoffeeHorse from the podcast Coffee & D&D. In this hilarious, off-the-rails premiere, we unpack cursed merch ideas, bardic rap battles, questionable magic items, and a rogue raccoon assassin with a death wish and an immovable rod.

    We also test Coffee’s knowledge in the ultimate game of "Magical Items or Malarkey" and swap Nat 1 nightmares and Nat 20 triumphs that would make even Chuck Norris flinch. Oh yeah—Chuck Norris lore is canon now. You're welcome.

    Pull up a chair, roll initiative, and let the chaos commence.
