Mixed Bag of Holding: Twilight Sanctorum (Part 1 of 2)
This month's mixed bag is a spooky jaunt in Twilight Sanctorum, a shadowfell infested shadowcrossing in a Bahumia of yore.
Dungeon Docent Emily is joined by a family of Private Investigators - Frankie, Penny, and Mavid Vantasmo - as they look into the threatening letters of a dancer at the Jolly Jamboureen.
This is part one of two!

This is one of my favorite dnd campaigns. I usually listen/watch times once or twice, but this is like my forth or fifth listen. Mavid is amazing lol
Invidea the PC (player character)
I immediately bumped up my tier to listen to more of these little ghouls! So glad I did, absolutely hilarious.
I splurged on the next tier to listen to this and oh my god it was so worth it, y’all are so talented and hilarious and truly bring me so much joy. And the music!!! EXTREMELY common Emily W
Make sure to check out season 2 of hot boy summer and Emily's old winter solstice one shot while you're on the tier!
I absolutely need to see what Jake’s face looks like when doing Mavid
Hey are you guys planning a collab or even a look of the homebrew witch class by worlds beyond? would love emily and murphs take on it
emily's spooky season oneshots are to die for!!!! i was just relistening to the winter solstice one shot from 2020 with siobhan and brennan and it was so atmospheric and spooky. i love the awesome weird worlds created and also just the concept of a three generation PI detective agency.
I love Emily's storytelling voice. Amazing performer!
I’ve never heard of buttered rum until this. Now it’s on my list to try this Hogladays!
I love this so much! Noir Shadowfell with Murph fulfilling his life’s ambition to be an old man? Amazing!
This is truly one of my favourite things y'all have put out. Emily does not miss as a dungeon docent and the vibes are so delightfully reminiscent of Thornkirk. Incredible. What level are the lads?
They are level 5! -Emily
So good, truly beautiful descriptions Emily! And lord do I love it when the boys play family!
Jake's Jay Leno impression is on point
This was so hilarious! They each play their characters so well. I almost literally laughed out loud in my cubicle. The amount of silent laughing would've looked unhinged if anyone happened by. Love this story!
Exasperated murph, whacky Caldwell and low status Jake with Emily DM, great characterisation from all, chefs kiss
I need Emily to dm more spooky stuff like the winter solstice
This was everything I didn't know I needed and more! The music, the story so far, Em and the boys. Perfection! Best way to start October!
Emily - this was legitimately creepy! I love horror and this was superb 👩🏻🍳🤌🏻
Mavid might be my new favorite character ever😂😂
truly
so excited for more of this!!!
THIS IS SO FUNNY!!!! what a fun and silly character dynamic!!!!!
As a person who started balding by the time they were 22, I feel seen
Give us a full campaign! I Love it too much!
I love this so much! Jake is so fun when he’s off the rails! And I love DMily+the chaos boys. It hits every time
Is it roleplaying if Murph is just being his true self?
this is SO fun and i’m so excited for part 2!!!!
Excellent stuff, but I’ve gotta ask when we can get a Busy World of Richard Scarry one-shot.
i’m creaming my jeans over here! love the boys as pcs and emdm
Emily needs to DM more, it’s always such a treat!
This was awesome Emily! I've listened to it twice and the music really enhances the storytelling. I enjoyed the roleplay so great job everyone!
Murph sighing "...Mavid" throughout was just gold! A fusion of disappointment, shame and pity.
Amazing job guys, btw you CAN send a reply to a message cantrip if you are the target of the spell
Jake is amazing off the rail in this but also his character reminds me of Nobby Nobbs from Discworld
Lol Jake is off the chain hilarious in this one wtf
this is so funny and well done that i cant stop listening to it. no exaggeration i am on my fourth listen i can’t get enough
Would love if oneshots with these characters became a Halloween tradition, if only to see how much more low-status Jake can possibly manage to go.
This is amazing. Put it on the main feed, make it the next campaign ❤️❤️❤️
Can’t believe the crew missed out on “Skate Staff” lol
I absolutely love this! I love how much fun everyone was having and Emily's details and descriptions are amazing 👏 DMily 4 the win as always ! P.s always live the characters they come up with
This was SO good!!! Love love love Emily's storytelling here
Jake's one shot characters are absolutely hilarious. I think Mavid got more belly laughs per minute out of me than Jvelin, who was the old record holder!
I need more DMily!! This was so freaking cool and atmospheric
This is the most serious character that Murph has ever played and I’m loving it
So amazing! I loved this one!
Amazing concept for a 2 shot, and Emily did such a fantastic job!
As a man who's hair started thinning in his early twenties, this ep was a real gut punch to the ol' self esteem. Loved it, 10/10
Ooh man this is so good!! I'm so excited for part 2
Loved this one! We need more DM Emily! Also I need art of these characters 😂 especially Maevid
In search of: Someone whose day would be made by getting a free ticket to the 5th anniversary show at Carnegie Hall this Saturday. I bought the first ticket during presale and then was able to snag a better seat the next day.
This was so good! Can’t wait for the next one 💜
An episode from the Dungeon Docent is always a treat, looking forward to the conclusion! Seconding props for the player characters too.
God damn this was awesome!! Really hope we get more than a two-shot from this. Always love the energy Emily brings as dm. Also jakes character is maybe my favorite character in all of fiction lol
when i heard they all had the same last name i knew they were related but i briefly held onto hope that they were, instead, a polycule
Holy shit 😂 when Jake goes “yeah, well go home touritht.” I spat my drink out! 😂😂
So evil that we have to wait till next month for part 2 :(
This is so good! Can't wait till the next one!
Emily said she wanted to do this for music, but I am really enjoying what she is doing with all the NPCs. Everyone seems so cool. A shadowmancer and a joy thief. I can't wait for more of the mystery to unravel.
The only mixed bag that could soothe the burn of knowing that the pop punk emo episode sits in the vault for 2 more months is mother Emily being our dungeon docent.
em your worldbuilding remains unbeaten. what a lovely october treat
This was so funny. My favorite episode for a long time
This is so fun!!!! The voices killed me. But also... is Twilight Sanctorum a libertarian paradise???
This is so incredibly fun! Love the characters and their relationships - really made me laff so so much!
Ahhhhh I couldn’t love this more!!!! The perfect call of Cthulhu/dnd crossover energy and the father and sonseses dynamic was soooooo effin funny- love love love
More Emily GM’ing
Whoaaaa this is amazing! Great concept.
i love emily as gm
One of my guy friends was balding in sophomore year of high school.
I wish there were short rests for mixed bag episodes
This is amazing. 👍🏾🧡
I loved this!
I love all the new characters
I love DEmily episodes
Great episode! The world building of the town is so cool and creepy! 🤩
Thanks docent 😁
Man, I'm loving Jake's Jay Leno impression. No joke I want I want a full campaign following this family. So damn funny!
Amazing ep! Murph was born to play such a grumpy granddad
love this so much!! i want more of these characters/this world!
Emily being the amazing writer that she is!
What an episode!! I would listen to a full campaign of these guys in a heartbeat. Emily is so skilled as a DM. The music was fabulous. I was cracking UP at the crazy antics of this crew. Looking forward to more!
That was an amazing first episode. You had me laughing out loud multiple times! And great music Emily!!
This is such a good first ep!
Wow - Jake's 'Mayvid' has me in stitches. So funny 🤣😂
So fuckin sick. Y’all should do like a medium rest for the two-shot after
Dungeon Docent Emily is the best spooky season treat!!! The music, the characters, and the voices were all so so good. Cant wait to see more of this family!!
Emily is the best Dungeon Docent ever
I could listen to Murph as Frankie Vantasmo forever
Is you guys New York show still on with all the flooding going on in Manhattan?
This episode was AMAZING! I cannot wait for the next one!! I love everything about this world.
Emily you did an amazing job coming up with the setting for this two-shot and that flashback with Frankie made me tear up a little bit.
Everyone is truly in their element in this one. I love it so much.
five minutes in and i would kill or die for the Vantasmos
It’s not the Bon Frers at a mystery dinner party, but I’ll take it! Jake trying to pick up a +1 is the type of dumb improv that I come here for.
An Oops! All Rogue family haha! You gotta love it 🙏🏽
I love seeing jake take on new kinds of characters for the podcast. The voice he did for this character was too good, it makes me want him to play as a goblin for the next campaign or something like that
This sounds so good, but I think I will have to wait until Halloween
psyched on a Saturday! love seeing the return of our Dungeon Docent ❤️ and I love the new music!
Brilliant!
Yes! Dungeon Docent Emily! Love to see it!
We’re gonna need way more of this crazy family!!!! So GOOD

I'm 8 mins in....holy hell yeah...this show spits gold
I got such boo brothers Scooby do vibes thank you guys
hey just wanted to pop into the comments to ask if this little series has any spoilers for C3 ? i know the description says it’s set in the past but i haven’t started C3 yet & i’m a tad paranoid for spoilers—do the 2 crew make any jokes or riffs or is there anything here that could be considered a spoiler if you’re not caught up ?
No spoilers!
Incredible. Thank you. Exactly what I need today. Edit - duuude Emily’s gm’ing was always good but this is reeeeeaaallly good. Love the character choices too. Get her back on the main feed!!!
What an unexpected delight. Best DM back in the saddle (love you murph)
Oh yeahhh!
I am SO excited for Dungeon Docent Emily!!
The perfect background for late night drawing... thanks Dungeon Docent Emily!!!
Dungeon docent!!!!!!

I love when Em DM’s. Can’t wait for the next Mavrus stuff too.
