S1E20 - S01E020: With or Without “Ooze”

Camp Pain #020: With or Without “Ooze” (Season 1.5 Begins!)

Kicking off our Season 1.5 arc! We hope you will enjoy where things go next!

A mysterious grocery list. A chef knocked unconscious. And did someone say… chroma slime?

This week, our party finds themselves chasing clues from the kitchen to the library, then deep into the woods to the cabin of the Verdant Wanderers. Another visit with our favorite dragonborn librarian leads to unexpected insights—and even more unexpected slime. As the crew sets out to track down the elusive chroma ooze, they’re met with a surprise they didn’t see coming.

Join Bellith Thornton, Guldor Firebeard, TR33, Seven of the NiteWood, and Liam the DM as we continue our chaotic camp challenge in the magical land of Valdoria. Guldor might still be playing chess while the rest of us are barely managing tic-tac-toe.

In the Sunfire kingdom of Valdoria, our adventurers attend Pyreglow Preparatory Academy—one of many schools training the next generation of heroes after the legendary Great Vanishing left the realm unguarded. Now, teens from across the kingdom have enrolled in the famed Camp Shimmer Lake, where danger, drama, and dice rolls await.

Camp Pain is a bi-weekly Dungeons & Dragons game hosted by Michael Heit from Hey Other Parents, Food & Fury, and Snackzeroth Podcasts. Created and run by our extraordinary DM Liam, and starring Bridget, Orlep, Levine, and the occasional guest. Some of us are seasoned adventurers, others are just figuring out which dice is the d20. This podcast is more chaos than critical hits—if you’re looking for serious D&D, turn back now. If you’re here for fun, you’re in the right camp.

Produced by Liam, Bridget, Orlep, Levine, and Michael Heit. Edited and mixed by Michael Heit. Our intro was voiced by the one and only Koltrane. Music sourced from Fanatical’s 2023 Music Bundle featuring Dark Fantasy Studio. Official maps by Ethan, our youngest and most talented cartographer. We’re playing D&D 5E on D&D Beyond.
