Don’t Gaslight Me, Jesus: A Dungeon Crawler Carl Podcast

This week we finished book 3, and it was a hell of an ending!

This is a wild one. Tangents galore. Chapters everyone loved with a few details most of them hated, and one of the most outrageous achievements we've yet seen.

We've rescued hundreds and hundreds of stranded crawlers, Mordecai is back, and now it's time to hunker down and wait for the floor to end, right? ... Right?

Well, that didn't go exactly how they expected, now did it? The crew definitely has some delights and some complaints in this section, but they're all entertaining - at least I think so. Let me know what you think when you've finished this week's episode of Don't Gaslight Me, Jesus!

The crew loved these chapters. Some big stuff happened, and the theories are flying about what these events mean for the story going forward!

Three more chapters, and we're clearly setting up for some interesting stuff. Though Mike is deeply offended that we don't actually see the inside of the strip club. Maybe someday, Mike. Maybe someday.

The crew is liking this book more and more, and some wild stuff begins happening in these chapters. Still, we're feeling more and more like the book is setting up a situation for things to fall out badly somehow between Katia and the rest of the party.

Sorry all, because I messed up big time the episode with the previous chapters is now lost to time. We're moving ahead as best we can, though, with coverage of these two chapters. The book is really revving up, and the podcast crew is more excited by the episode.

Mordecai, nooooooo! We've got some definite mixed feelings about Mordecai's fate in this episode. On top of that we've got an attempted murder of Donut to contend with. So there's a lot to talk about, though that doesn't keep us from falling down some serious rabbit holes (not skinless rabbits like in the chapters, nice, fluffy rabbits).

Tim missed this one, but we have some fun things happening as Carl and Donut begin to puzzle out the mystery that is the Iron Tangle.

We're starting a new book this week, and the feel in the room after the first couple of chapters is really optimistic. It's train time!

We wrap up book 2! See if the newbies are enjoying the end of this one more than the last one which had ... well "mixed reviews" might be generous. To let everyone know, we'll be taking a double break after this episode because Jennifer and I will be in Orlando for a couple of weeks. So we'll see you again in June!

We're almost at the end, and the story here in Medium Skyfowl Settlement is really starting to move. The crew has been waiting for something to latch onto like this since we started book 2, and they're finally getting it. It's a good thing.

Fighting in the dark, crazy showers, and then it's time to enter the Danger Zone for an assassination attempt. Yeah, they cram quite a bit into these two chapters. See what the crew is thinking as we approach the end of book 2.

We made it to the Desperado Club finally, and most of the crew is finding it pretty interesting. A couple of rooms have proven more popular than others. I suspect that you can all guess which.

These chapters are a tad slow. Not quite as much to talk about just within them, which leads to some discussion about the larger concepts of the series. And also Magic cards. Why? Search me.

Well, that quest went quicker than the crew anticipated. Weirder too. It's not every day you eat an ice cream cone full of parasitic mind control worms ... or if it is, your life is much stranger than any of ours. So, good for you I guess? Or bad? Whichever. As long as you're enjoying yourself.

We've got ourselves some serious stuff this week, folks. The quest is turning out to be even questier than we thought. And an Elite? Do people even know what that is if they haven't played WoW? Is that a thing in other games? I mean, besides Halo, because that's a different sort of deal. You see the tangent I went on in the description there? Yeah, that was to prepare you for this week's episode. It's tangent-y ... tangentful? Tangentional. Yeah, that sounds right.

We're starting a new book this week! I'm very excited to be moving into book 2, which I feel like solves a lot of the issues the crew had with book 1, but I suppose only time will tell. It's time for race and class selection, and while some choices won't be surprising anyone, a couple might give our newbies pause (Paws? No, definitely pause.).

We finished the first book this week, and my oh my are there feelings about this one. After we work through all the trauma there, we've also got a couple of achievements to hand out and a little talk about the future of the show. So stay tuned through the end to hear what's happening next.
