This week’s guest is Chris Prynoski, owner of Titmouse, and we talk about his start with drawing D&D characters and Titmouse as a t-shirt company. We discuss his beginning with Beavis & Butthead, Freddy Got Fingered, and Metalocalypse. We touch on Venture Bros., Superjail, The Amazing Screw-On Head (working with Mike Mignola & Paul Giamatti), Star Trek Lower Decks, Big Mouth, and Titmouse’s latest Scavenger Reign.
We spend most of our time on the Critical Role animated series The Legend of Vox Machina and the upcoming Mighty Nein.
We talk about the power he gained as steward of The Sandal of Gygax, his game group the Murder Hobos, his D&D art party, the Titmouse RV w/ Erol Otus art, his secret game room half-van at Titmouse, his blacklight DM screen w/ Skinner art, and playing D&D with a mechanic involving a gumball machine in Bugbear Canyon outside of Austin, TX.

MD 239 Hangin’ Sacks 5th Ave w/ Chris Prynoski
This mall department store has an iron portcullis separating you from a horde of nugglets that are currently ripping the testicles off of some unlucky NPCs. You see them painfully transform into nugglets themselves.
In front of you are fitting rooms, six racks of necropant styles, a workbench with a skin sewing machine and a tip jar filled with coins from destitute widows. A big curvy skinning knife hangs next to a pile of corpses that have been skinned from the waist down. Tapestries with hot pink triangles and neon swirls, depict models wearing the necropants with nugglets about to chomp on their balls.
At the workbench is Hangin’ Brains, the seamstress necromancer. She tells you that “you’ll make a good pair of necropants.” She then demands that you choose pants from the rack before she releases the nugglets on you, and that only one style will give you immunity from their bite. She can turn into a pair of pants and fly away. Once you choose your pants, she raises the portcullis, unleashing the nugglets.
Nugglets: These feral, waist-high, jaundiced scrotoids are dressed like department store catalog models in ill-fitting short shorts and overall shorts, with their own balls hanging to their knees. These zombie-like living testies will try to chomp your nards, and if they do, it’s only a matter of time before you’re a wee nutling like them, trying to eat low hangin’ fruit.
Necropants: Choose a style of pants from one of the six racks. Made from human skin, they each have distended testicles and magically adhere when you put them on, becoming your skin. They can’t be removed until you convince someone else to put them on, or you remove the curse. All necropants will double your coins when put between your scrotum and those of the necropants, but only one will protect you from the nugglets’ bite.
1- Purple-Veined Jeans: They’ll form a coin barrier between your nutsack and the necropants’ nutsack giving you immunity to the bite of the nugglet with a decoy scrotum. The proper choice to win.
2 – Harem: Made of loose and flabby skin, these flappy MC Hammer pants make you feel “proper,” until you realize that all movement blows the pants open to expose your scrotal region for easy chomping.
3 – Bidol the Sentient Scrotal Sleeve: Gently insert your sack. If the SSS doesn’t like how you slid it in (and he never does), he’ll editorialize what it thinks about your balls before belting out a “rebel yell” to call over the nugglets to bite you. Sweat! Sweat! Sweat!
4 – Necro Booty Shorts: You look bootylicious, but you’re cursed with Titmouse’s irresistible animation, a never ending dance of the legs, convulsive laughter and the compulsion to render adult animations.
5 – Kilt of Many Circles: A breezy skirt covered in circles and holes that’ll expose your ballzak.
6 – The Unreliable Codpiece: This platemail codpiece has a lock and key. Lock the codpiece and think you’re safe, but it intentionally opens up at the most inopportune times.
