The mystery of what exactly happened to Cynidicea is officially solved in part two of B4: The Lost City, and we have good news! The eldritch horror-turn-cult figure responsible for the downfall of this particular civilization is just Zargon, the coolest dude ever, who’s vibin’ on a higher frequency and providing top quality za to his couchlocked disciples. Then the boys meet the other two factions opposing the high lord: the magically limited magi of Usamigaras and the warrior maidens of Madarua, who are just waiting to lay the smack down on your candy ass.

Tom Moldvay’s 1982 sun-bleached fever dream of a dungeon starts with Russell and Jeramy lost in the desert and ends… well… maybe never! In part one of B4: The Lost City, the boys discuss the merits of survival in D&D while trying desperately to avoid eye contact with a bevy of masked weirdos trying to build them coffins and offer them sips from the honey pot. Finally, they meet the first of the old god worshipping factions who have just one question to ask: Double-double or eternal darkness, eh?

In the final episode of Steading of the Hill Giant Chief, Russell and Jeramy come face-to-shin with Chief Nosnra and 8 metric tons of his best buddies, liquored up and looking for a fight. Then they venture down into the lower level of the steading where clues to the mystery at the heart of the G series await, along with a literal army of orcs, a weird temple looking to drive you crazy, and the true horror of the module: carrion crawler coitus.

It's the party of the year and crashing it is at the top of the to-do list as Russell and Jeramy take on the title locale in part 2 of Steading of the Hill Giant Chief! Napping guards, giant rugrats, mountains of treasure, and a great hall packed to the rafters with way, WAY too many enemies present a unique challenge: face the full wrath of Gygax head on or sneak around like little sneaky sneakers and see what devious plots they can cook up?

Gary Gygax called it one of his favorite creations. Stephen Colbert has declared his love for it. Wizards of the Coast has called it the greatest D&D adventure of all time. And did we mention it's the first module TSR ever wrote and released? Russell and Jeramy tackle G1: Steading of the Hill Giant Chief, the granddaddy of them all, to see if it (and its author) can live up to the incredible hype and, if so, what makes this adventure so freakin' great?

It’s the finale of B3: Palace of the Silver Princess and we have the ruby in hand… but this castle still has teeth!

After an art gallery of doors and a teacup named Spotify, Russell and Jeramy finally come to the most infamous room in the book and, perhaps, all of D&D history: the illusion-wielding Decapus, a monster so powerful it critically hit the module itself.

Just when it feels like the Palace is out of curveballs to throw, it hits you with a surprise climax no one saw coming: a BBEG who’s willing to make a deal.

Holy tonal shift Batman! Part 3 of Palace of the Silver Princess goes from poetry fragments and hat pins to Uncle Travis’ Murder Emporium faster than you can say weapon-tailed marmoset. Russell and Jeramy then head to the tower to meet its weird, alignment-obsessed alien(?) guards and the infamous three-headed, multigender Ubues, which turn out to be more wacky than salacious.

It all leads up to the climactic discovery of that colossal, fortune-making ruby from the beginning of the module… which turns out to be less “dragons hoard” and more “impulse buy”.

It’s time to kick in the gate and get real weird as Russell and Jeramy charge headlong into the titular Palace of the Silver Princess! The guys accomplish a bit of a speed run, lucking into empty chamber after empty chamber, fall face first into a Rube Goldbergian pit trap, attend an impromptu gender reveal, and find the first clues as to the final resting place of the colossal ruby called My Lady’s Heart.
