Pull up a chair, adventurers — tonight the tavern welcomes a true Forever DM with ink-stained notes, battle scars from whiteboard maps, and a whole book of legends forged at the table.

Rudy sits down with Morgan from Heroes of Evermore, storyteller, Dungeon Master, author, and champion of turning live-play chaos into fully realized fantasy novels. What starts as a conversation about D&D roots quickly spirals into puzzles no one solved, doors that should’ve just been turned, and dragons that absolutely should not have been jumped onto mid-flight.

In This Episode You’ll Hear:

Heroes of Evermore, From Table to Book Morgan breaks down how a two-year live-play campaign became a novel with perfect reviews, epic narration, and an upcoming audiobook — all without losing the soul of the original game.

The Forever DM Life Why Morgan DMs, how it started, and what happens when you’re the one holding the world together while players try to punch gods.

Puzzles vs Players The infamous “fifth-grade puzzle” incident — solved only after an hour… by flipping it over.

Doors Are the Real Final Boss Locked doors. Unlocked doors. Doors turned into shields. Heroes of Evermore proves that no door is safe.

Medieval Spider-Man Energy Artificers, gunslingers, arachnoid stalker rogues, +19 sleight of hand, wall-crawling, red eyes under cloaks — nightmare fuel in the best way.

Nat 20 Glory A shy Dragonborn cleric jumps onto a dragon mid-battle, wrestles it in the air, and crashes it into a siege engine — killing ogres and cementing legend status.

Nat 1 Trauma A monk decides to fistfight a Kraken. A rope is involved. The Kraken wins… briefly.

Redemption Through Gunpowder Explosions, teamwork, barrels in mouths, and cinematic regurgitation save the party in true D&D fashion.

The DM Walk-Out Song Morgan reveals the song he’d choose if he ever walked onstage to DM the biggest table of his life — and it hits.

Welcome back to the tavern, Lords and Ladies — Season 3 has officially begun, and things immediately go very, very wrong.

While CJ and Rudy were busy enjoying freedom, sunlight, and functional chairs, Dante was left behind — abandoned, incarcerated, spiritually entrapped, and forced to survive the city dungeon with nothing but grit, trauma, and a new best friend named Slippery Rick.

So naturally… the show opens under new management.

For a brief, terrifying moment, Dante seizes control of Chat 1 & Done, introduces his prison-forged co-host, and lays out some very clear ground rules involving arcane portals, milk crates, and what happens if CJ and Rudy interrupt.

Spoiler: They interrupt.

In This Episode You’ll Hear:

Dante’s Prison Arc Wrongful incarceration, unpaid bail, and the emotional toll of being forgotten by your employers.

Slippery Rick’s Debut Career criminal. Toe-eater. Problem solver. An absolute menace and Dante’s new ride-or-die.

CJ & Rudy Return… Poorly Claims of posted bail, mysterious missing gold, and the shocking realization that Dante has been teleporting this whole time while everyone else paid bus fare.

The Chair Incident Milk crates are introduced. Chairs are questioned. At least one chair must be burned.

Arcane Portals & Threats Dante reveals a new magical ability and makes it very clear: cooperation is not optional.

The Prison Story Begins A candlelit grove. Immaculate vibes. Consent felt implied. Foreshadowing was ignored. The transformation starts.

And that’s where the episode leaves you — mid-story, mid-trauma, and fully aware that Season 3 is going to be unhinged.

Pull up a chair, adventurers — this one’s for all of you.

In this special Holiday / Season 2 Recap episode of Chat 1 & Done, CJ and Rudy kick back in the tavern to reflect on everything that went right, everything that went off the rails, and everything that somehow worked anyway. No guest interviews this time — just gratitude, chaos, and a whole lot of love for the community that made Seasons 1 and 2 possible.

This episode is part recap, part teaser, part emotional send-off, and part drunken tavern monologue delivered with a raised mug and zero planning.

In This Episode You’ll Hear:

How Chat 1 & Done Somehow Survived Two Seasons From “we didn’t think this would last” to planning Season 3, CJ and Rudy reflect on how a tavern-style D&D podcast grew into a real community.

A Look Back at Season 2’s Guests From Dice Circus to The Crit Awards, Nomadic Bard to Coffee & D&D, the crew reminisces about meeting creators from all over the world and how every single guest showed up humble, hilarious, and down-to-earth.

Dante’s Legacy (and Legal Troubles) Skeletons with W-2s. Mermaid bathwater. Haunted nonsense. Dante’s news segments get their flowers — even if he’s currently locked in the dungeon awaiting bail.

Favorite Moments & Unplanned Chaos The moments where everyone broke character, lost it laughing, or watched a guest immediately jump into the madness without hesitation.

Why This Isn’t a “Professional Podcast” — On Purpose No scripts. No polish. No gatekeeping. Just nerds in a tavern asking questions, sharing laughs, and celebrating tabletop culture.

Community Over Clout Why this show isn’t about “cornering the market,” but about lifting up creators, staying connected, and building something genuine.
