🎲 Episode 3 – The Gildacre Dinner Party Disaster
Welcome back to The Nat Zeroes - the D&D actual play comedy podcast where no plan survives contact with the dinner table!
This week, our barely-competent adventurers sign a totally-legit contract and find themselves at Gildacre Manor - where the only thing more cursed than the ghosts is the menu. With a room full of haunted NPCs and one very lost tax collector, the Zeroes soon learn that polite conversation can be deadly… and that ghost food tastes suspiciously like ash.
Highlights include:
- Gildacre Dinner Party Trap: The crew is ensnared at a haunted dinner table, losing control as they're forced to make small talk and eat food that turns to ash.
- Puppy Kitten’s Heroics: While the others are spellbound, Puppy Kitten stays just smart enough to drag his friends to safety - sometimes by the horns.
- John Frog’s Food Reviews: “This food tastes like ass!” John’s the first to catch on that things are very wrong at the table.
- Moonshine as a Medical Device: Gurgles snaps the trapped tax collector out of his ghostly trance with a dose of homemade hooch.
- Banters, Bickering, & Bad Ideas: Expect Gurgles’ rants about bees, horn-pulling shenanigans, and plenty of chaotic team “problem-solving.”
- Dooreen, the Talking Door: The party faces a riddle door that only opens for the sincerely polite (it helps to ask nicely).
- Surprise Loot & Relics: A vault full of gold, a magical “coin of certainty,” and rumors of ancient elven artifacts fuel greed and jokes alike.
If you like your D&D with heavy improv, haunted house shenanigans, and a cast that turns every riddle into an excuse for a punchline, you’ll feel right at home.
Will the Zeroes escape the dinner party, solve the manor’s mystery, and finally get paid - or just get roasted by ghosts and each other?
