Ricksanthemum Garden: A field of flowers obscures a mysterious smoking chasm. Save when you enter the room or you're compelled to descend into the chasm to feed Rick all your good vibes. Veiled in the mist are carnivorous plants that’ll attack if you try any shenanigans. Opening two doors will air out the room and break Rick’s spell for everyone in the room.
Flower list: Deadly Peonies, Flaming Asters, Iron Roses, Orange Orchids, Tripping Daisies & Ugly Poppies. Wear the correct 3 flowers (orange, ugly & tripping to spell “OUT”) to counteract Rick’s smoke.
In the depths of the chasm is Ricksanthemum floating above a pyramid bouquet. He’s a hovering cow-skull demon with a unibrow, adorned with evil vines and flowers. Pheromone smoke billows from his eyes, mouth & flowers. Rick wants you to sacrifice yourself to him by staying here forever, sharing the beauty of the world.

This Flail Milk factory houses Crystal Shit, a three-headed cow beast who’s fused to the floor.
Neighbor Head: Their extendo-neck ends in one of the player’s actual neighbors’ head. It wears its utters like a jester’s cap, producing household cleaning products as milk.
Robo-Head: This cyber-head controls one spindly arm with utters in their armpit. Its milk powers the Tin Cuppers, and recharges batteries. They grow new minions in small birthing sacs.
Cow Head: She produces rage milk, throwing the drinker into a barbarian rage. Gaze attack, save or attack the closest person to you who isn’t Crystal Shit.
Tin Cuppers: These tin cans with handles fill themselves up with milk from the teats and bring it to vats.
Flail-Static Joe: This jumbotron A.I. hangs from the ceiling making sure that milk production and deliveries are happening on time. A lightning flail drops menacingly from it to ward off danger or discipline the workers. A mounted control panel can slow down or stop production, but that’ll make Joe mad.

MD 207 Idon’tcaribou and the Igloo Warriors
No guest this week as Andrew, Rob & Steve discusses the games they've been playing this winter. Andrew played a Magic the Gathering meets Warhammer 40k commander extravaganza with Necrons, Tyranids and a Sol Ring. Steve played Smash Up where you combine themed card decks to take over bases. Rob continues playing World of Warcraft: Dragon Flight to flex their dragon riding skills.

Idon’tcaribou and the Igloo Warriors : This barn is missing two walls. Outside is an infinite tundra of icy conditions, swirling wind, snow and frosty grass. Inside are lofts with hay and stalls containing normal caribou. Broken-off antlers litter the floor. A coat rack next to the door has fur-lined parkas that give you advantage against ennui and cold damage.
A massive igloo with smaller crunchroach igloos all over it is in the center of the room. This is the turtle-like shell of the Idon’tcaribou, a dire beast with antlers growing out of it in all directions. It gores with its antlers, which break off and immediately grow back in a new shape. It shoots freeze rays from his eyes and has a 10-foot aura of ennui that’s linked to the cold (crunchroaches are immune).
