Hello everyone,
This month I reached 90% on script #7 from last month's update. It took almost another full DoD script's worth of words to bring it from 65% to 90%. I also completed about 45% of the only script I had yet to start and did not make meaningful progress on any others.
I am considering bumping the total number of episodes down to nine because one of the wads I planned t...
2025-12-31 20:11:55 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone,
Here's the latest on S4's progress: 5/10 scripts are finished, four in production, one not started. Let's peek behind the curtain to give you a better idea of what "in production" means. Note that I write and record one map at a time concurrently, so I'm as far into recording as I am into the writing.
Script #6* is 85% complete (currently over 8000 words). I have th...

Hope you enjoy the special :)
Currently 4/10 scripts complete for S4, partway through four others, last two not started.
2025-10-29 21:54:09 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone,
This month I completed three scripts for S4, two of which are monsters that I never expected to finish. I am partway through three others and I have a pretty clear idea of where the rest of the season will go after that. I still fully intend to write, record, and edit the entire season before publishing it.
This small update is just to let you know that I will be co...
2025-09-27 22:25:41 +0000 UTC View PostI paused donations for March and have done so preemptively for April. From now on, I will not be accepting money unless I make something.
Also, there will not be an April Fools episode - I didn't want anyone to get their hopes up.
2025-03-06 23:01:46 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone,
It's the beginning of a new year and it feels like a good time to share with you my thoughts about how Dean of Doom will move forward. In September, I unveiled the "Lost Episodes" format, which focuses on anything weird, fringe, or underrated in the Doomverse. I plan to make more of these in 2025. Right now I have three scripts actively brewing and at least ten more to cho...
2025-01-09 23:59:37 +0000 UTC View PostHi folks, here's the new gradebook - now including Down the Drain and Ad Mortem. Hopefully we'll see another new shipment or two before year's end.

Good morning folks,
I finished this year's Halloween special early again. Hope you all enjoy!

2024-10-30 12:06:46 +0000 UTC View PostHello again! Next episode will probably take us over 2000 maps reviewed. Holy cow.
2024-09-29 16:22:45 +0000 UTC View PostThis is the final version of the gradebook for Season 3. Hope everyone enjoyed the episode today, and thank you all so much for being here.
Edit 3/23: I fixed the spreadsheet. Please let me know if you find any other oddities or inaccuracies (you probably will).
2024-03-23 01:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostNot much of an update, but here you go!
2024-02-20 01:58:12 +0000 UTC View PostGood afternoon folks,
I'm not drawing this out for dramatic effect, I promise!
At the end of December, right after I finished Nova III, unforeseen and unpleasant circumstances forced me to relocate on short notice. I spent the rest of December and January apartment hunting. I tried to work on a Sigil II episode, but in my interim living space, burdened by the stress of finding a new...
2024-02-04 18:27:55 +0000 UTC View PostWhoops, I forgot to post this on Halloween - ah well. Here ya go.

Good morning everyone,
I finished this year's Halloween Special a few days early, and I thought it might be nice to give you guys some time to download and play these wads while it's still October for a change. That's the trouble with doing Doomween on Halloween: viewers have only a few hours to download and play wads that are new to them before November arrives and spoils the fun. Hope y...
2023-10-27 15:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostEmbrace the cataclysm!
(Some new formatting and I fixed some incorrect formulas, so some megawad grades have decreased. I have too many versions of this spreadsheet going to keep them straight anymore.)
2023-09-25 16:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostGood morning folks,
The only constant in Dean of Doom's release schedule is its inconsistency. I wish that wasn't the case, but short of writing, recording, and editing an entire season's worth of episodes at a time and releasing them piecemeal (which would probably take a full year anyway), I don't see any way around it.
I guess I should have seen it coming, since DoD has nev...
2023-07-04 15:30:53 +0000 UTC View PostEnjoy! Thanks for waiting on this one folks - my output might be a bit slow in the coming months, since I'm looking for a new full time job at the moment and I'm anticipating a move right after that. Next episode will be a shortie, and then I have an old classic that I've already completed a script for, a trilogy ender, a wild card, and a super-special finale planned. Hopefully all of this will...
2023-05-29 19:31:20 +0000 UTC View PostNext episode (out tomorrow or Monday) is nearly an hour long, and I haven't decided whether I should call it E14-15 or just make S3 shorter. I'm leaning towards the latter. Just wanted to throw this out there on the off chance people are wondering where DoD went: the answer is down the vortex of a double episode that took a hell of a lot longer to edit than usual.
2023-05-27 16:49:07 +0000 UTC View PostGood morning, afternoon, or evening, everyone,
I like to keep the patrons a bit more in the loop, seeing as you are all my co-producers, more or less, so mini-update: I have three scripts completed, and the rest of the lineup for the season is more or less set...problem is, I don't feel very good about it. I wanted to do a themed month in Feb, which is what two of the finished scripts wer...

'Enjoy' isn't the right word for this one. This one is for all patrons, since it's special.
Please note that I left off the little "thanks for your patronage" message at the end because there is a slight chance that I'll be making this episode public at some point. I probably shouldn't, since it's a big time downer. I dunno. Hope you're having a lovely day.
2023-01-04 22:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostEnjoy the rest of your weekend folks! See you soon with a holiday special and another Sawed off Wads (hopefully both in December, but I'm not in any rush).
2022-11-26 18:07:53 +0000 UTC View PostEnjoy! (no lewd meanings implied, lol)
2022-11-11 22:04:24 +0000 UTC View PostHappy Halloween folks! Hope you enjoyed the special. I promise I won't disappear after this one: two more episodes coming in November before the midseason break.
2022-10-31 16:00:15 +0000 UTC View PostForgot to update after Scythe X...whoops!
