New Quest: Welcome to Chaos & Crawlers!
A live, actual-play Dungeon Crawler Carl Roleplaying Game show, presented by Catacombs & Comedians, featuring funny people, and sanctioned by the Borant Corporation and Renegade Games Studios. The players on stage are a group of hopeful meat-based lifeforms making objectively poor decisions as they navigate traps, monsters, and a rules system specifically designed to test friendships, morals, and one’s ability not to scream under pressure. They were selected because they are professionals at handling silence, bombing gracefully, and masking panic with humor. None of those skills will help them here.

The audience will experience…
• Crunchy, cinematic combat that escalates far beyond reason
• Characters that begin confident and end… dubious.
• An omnipresent game master providing helpful guidance, passive-aggressive commentary, and occasional emotional damage
• Characters who die funny, embarrassed, and regret everything
• A tone that oscillates between stand-up set and survival horror with alarming speed
What the audience won’t experience…
• Predictable pacing
• Characters making “the smart choice”
• Plot armor
• Emotional closure
• A bathroom break at a convenient time
Why? Because comedy under pressure is funny. Because dice don’t respect punchlines. Because watching comedians face a dungeon optimized for entertainment ROI is the purest form of art Borant allows. Throwing amusing entertainers into a lethal dungeon ecosystem engineered for spectacle, suffering, and shareholder value is a hoot. They tell jokes. They roll dice. They learn (too late) that corporate-sanctioned entertainment is still entertainment first.
New Achievement: “Spectator with Questionable Taste”
Reward: Entertainment. Laughter. Lingering dread. Mild existential collapse.
