This week, we cover Chapters 29, 30, and 31 of The Dungeon Anarchist’s Cookbook — DCC Book 3.
The final battle looms as we set the stage for the end of the Iron Tangle, but not before we get a few more twists. Bautista finally reveals that he likes to play with Beanie Babies, Katia gets a bolt designed to make a god bleed, and the prodigal Mordecai returns — only to promptly freak out over Carl’s Ring of Divine Suffering.
Plus, we set up a portal to the Pit as the gang has to HOLD THE LINE against the Krakarens!

This week on Dave's First Crawl, we're covering Chapters 26, 27, and 28 of The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook...and Carl discovers that saving 600 stranded crawlers requires a very "hands on" approach. Poor Growler Gary becomes the unsuspecting MVP of Carl's latest rescue plan, as intricate portal carts, exploding trains, and Krakaren nests push the Iron Tangle closer to complete chaos.
Meanwhile, Princess Donut is forced to give up a fortune in train hats to save everyone else...only to receive one of the most heartfelt tributes in the series so far. End game for floor 4 is approaching ladies and gentlemen!
Plus, we discuss Reddit moderator Nazis, a very random Horror movie review, and Dave declares war on those who don't respect auditory boundaries.

This week on Dave’s First Crawl, we’re covering Chapters 23, 24, and 25 of The Dungeon Anarchist’s Cookbook—DCC Book 3.
Katia accidentally kills the #2 crawler in the dungeon, jumps 13 levels, and ends up with a ridiculously overpowered crossbow. Sometimes the AI System just says, "Congratulations, you've got main character energy now."
Turns out Hekla's assassination plot was even bolder than we thought. Carl pieces together the entire scheme, Silfa realizes she was just a pawn, Eva makes an escape, and Brynhild's Daughters completely implode.
And because Carl apparently hasn't learned his lesson, he decides the only reasonable plan from here is to save every stranded crawler on the floor. Can he actually save them all?
Plus, lots of shout-outs to our Redditors. Come talk some more shit to us on....r/DavesFirstCrawl.

This week on Dave’s First Crawl, we’re covering Chapters 20, 21, and 22 of The Dungeon Anarchist’s Cookbook—DCC Book 3.
Frank Q finally gets his revenge by giving Carl… a ring. Very romantic. Very normal. Definitely nothing ominous about that.
We also finally meet Hekla, who is supposed to be one of the good guys. Turns out, she sucks. Surprise!
Meanwhile, Katia transforms into a goddamn cowcatcher and helps the crew turn an army of mobs into dungeon roadkill. Blood, guts, body parts—just a completely reasonable amount of carnage.
And as if Katia hasn’t been through enough, someone nearly has her assassinated.
By who?
Come argue about it with us at r/DavesFirstCrawl.

This week, we cover Chapters 14, 15, and 16 of The Dungeon Anarchist’s Cookbook — DCC Book 3.
Carl gets flattened by the Nightmare Express, meets Fire Brandy — the MILF who saves the day — and finally gets to drive a freakin’ train. We crack open sponsor loot boxes, level up, and deal with Bababoons in Nic Cage and “Suck It” T-shirts trying to murder everybody.
