Damsels of DDO Episode 5, Delirium

The Damsels of DDO are a group of girl gamers who talk about things that are important to them in the world of Dungeons and Dragons Online.  This time around the Damsels form a wolf pack and go howling into a beholder infested tavern!   Good times had by all?  That depends on local Public Intoxication Laws.  We do apologize in advance for the inebriation of any of the hosts of the show!  *cough* Lessah *cough cough* Thanks so much for listening!

Intro:  

Old School!   

  1. Every time Lessah says: “Hello!” or “You know what?” You take a drink!
  2. Every time Samius makes an innuendo, you take a drink!
  3. Every time a word has to be beeped, you take a drink! (If Lessah is beeped, you take 2 drinks!)
  4. Every Segway… you take a drink! (if it’s a good Segway, you must drink twice!)
  5. At the end of the show, you must empty your glass, even if you have just refilled it!)

A Note From Lessah:  so far You Tube is the only place I plan to post shows because of the video/ Twitch ability.  Plus, when I finally fix the CTH’s iTunes Feed, I don’t want mixed up audio files going to the wrong place.  Aside from that, this is a kind of special side project where I get to monkey with video!

Intro:  Tavern Music!  (Pop Quiz: Name the music that plays at the end and get a mention on the next cast!) 

What even is this show?

This time around, we revisit an oldie but a goodie, the Shroud!
