47 Lex Mandrake (Dank Dungeons)

Weird Games and Weirder People

Lex Mandrake is an rpg content creator who writes games and supplements, produces videos, and composes music under the moniker Dank Dungeons.
Some of his larger projects include AZAG, the weird sword and sorcery rpg and 5B, the 5th Edition compatible OSR style rpg.
Recently, he's been working with dungeon-tuber Jorphdan to create videos highlighting indie rpgs on the Jorphdan's Jocular Junction YouTube channel.

I had the honor to work with Lex in AZAG, and had a great time hanging out with him at Gen Con 2023. But besides that, we have been talking and getting to know each other for a while, and this conversation is basically just friends hanging out.

In this chat we talk about his work as a Game Designer, Musician, DungeonTuber, old music equipment, B Movies, Dreams, Soundscapes, Comedy in RPGs, Terror Vision, Ghostbusters RPG, Invisible Sun, influences and a lot more weird and wonderful things!

I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

So listen up and get weird with us!
