This week Stefan Pokorny of Dwarven Forge is our guest from our Gary Con 2024 series focusing on the question, “What has 50 years of Dungeons & Dragons meant to you?”
We discuss his childhood in NYC and growing up with D&D, his journey from artists to sculptor of the most popular modular terrain for tabletop roleplaying, The Dwarvenaut (the 2016 documentary about him), and his latest venture Starforged (his new collection of hand-painted, modular sci-fi terrain cast in Dwarvenite).

ANNOUNCEMENTS
MYSTIC PUNKS KICKSTARTER: It’s the final days to back the Kickstarter for the core rulebook. It includes art from our very own Tiger Wizard, and an entire adventure from Steve Albertson aka Dragon Warrior.
DUNGEON CATS: Tiger Wizard’s rules-fluffy mini-RPG Dungeon Cats is a game about cats going into dungeons, slaying vile creatures and getting away with the loot! Dungeon Cats backerkit surveys have been sent! Check your email kittens!
THE MEGA DUNGEON MEN EP is out now on all streaming platforms. Our new TTRPG fantasy meets hip hop album features Mega Ran, MC Frontalot, Denkles and Dizzy the Bard dropping verses alongside Dragon Warrior and Tiger Wizard all set to nostalgic beats by Inner Resting.
NEW POSTER MAP: We have a new poster adventure map now available for purchase at Exalted Funeral based on our Mad Dungeon season one, episode 20, Song of the Shriekfrapp, with the legendary Erol Otus—who not only made the adventure with us, but also illustrated the 11×17 front-side poster image!
The water is draining away at the secret golden oasis because of all the infighting between the adorable, ear-like loboids. Can you help the tiptoers, bouncers and striders to stop bickering and unite with their magic dance to save their home from being destroyed by the slumbering Shriekfrapp? I hear that it’s good luck to flip a gold coin into the water when you arrive.
