Backwater Bastards: An Actual Play Podcast

S4E10: COME ON DOWN

Sun, 26 Apr 2026 17:13:00 -0000

The Bastards have Robin, and the whole dang universe is watching. They’re cruising around when a radio broadcast cuts through the noise: family fun racing, open entry, and first prize is a brand new ship plating kit with a genuine, certified, SPACE SPOILER. It’s BYOracecar, and you can’t leave the ground- so the Bastards head down into the belly of the R.E.E.S.E. to see what they can mod. They rip the roof off of Cleo’s red rover, plan some creative compartments for weapon crafting (because this is a zero plasma production! That means no blasters, no energy blades, no nothin’!), and of course, a plan for a very specific amount of tomatoes. Just Jordan the engine, a sprinkle of Bastard ingenuity, and a weapon called The Doctor hanging off the back. They’ve got a heading and a dream. Maybe they’ll teach Robin the meaning of family after all…

S4E09: Bad Seed

Fri, 27 Mar 2026 15:38:00 -0000

The Bastards make it to the black hole, ready to dispose of their universe-ending problem. Unfortunately, Robin got there first. Now bigger, weirder, and in control of a sentient armada, Robin has a plan- and it’s not exactly “leave the galaxy untouched.” It doesn’t take long for the crew to vote for violence; but Cleo would like to try a bigger weapon… Meanwhile, their location is blown, Biolife is calling (rude), and more ships are arriving by the second. With Robin on the brink of doing something truly irreversible, The Bastards have to make a call: do what they always do… or listen to Cleo. This has kind of worked before. Technically.

S4E08: Black hole Son

Thu, 26 Feb 2026 20:48:00 -0000

Fresh off their ill-advised shopping spree of apocalyptic powdered bioweapons, The Bastards are faced with the age-old question: now what? To help things along, Boris explains with the aid of a slideshow exactly how extinction-level their new cargo really is, and proposes the only ethical disposal method thinkable- tossing it into a primordial black hole from the dawn of creation. Half decided, the Bastards continue to explore possibilities. Some small on-the-road fumbles attract the worst kind of attention, inspiring Cleo to go live to the entire galaxy (they think?) to announce a few key details: “the Bastards are carrying universe-ending powder, it’s Biolife’s fault, and they’ve personally murdered her before and they’re coming for you next.” The Bastards gun it for the singularity while dodging other ships and calls, officially a new kind of target- when they finally reach the black hole, ready to dump the powder and save the universe just one more time… …but there’s just one problem. The black hole isn’t just a black hole.

S4E07: The Queen Bee feat Bodie of Slowquest

Thu, 12 Feb 2026 21:30:00 -0000

The Bastards, the robbers, and their hitchhiking friend Yorp are trapped in the Big Momma Fishing shop. Fortunately they’ve taken the shopkeeper hostage and discover a mysterious powder, which diffuses the situation. (Not.) As negotiations unravel, Yorp calls in a favor from the strange vessel he’s been mumbling to, and a whole swarm of his friends arrive to smooth things over. (Sort of.) At the end of the day, all that really matters is that everybody ate, Cleo’s got clean pants, Yorp’s mission is intact, and The Bastards have a ship full of apocalyptic bioweapons and a renewed dream of a free MidSpace… For everyone.

S4E06: The Slowest Quest feat Bodie of Slowquest

Thu, 29 Jan 2026 20:51:00 -0000

Nobody likes shopping. But it’s worse when you’re in someone else’s body. On the run, low on supplies, and badly in need of a reset, the Bastards hit a station to shop. Cleo needs clothes. Everyone needs a break. Instead, they find subpar fishing merch, a hitchhiker, and a whole lot of eye contact from two shifty strangers. But hey! At least they made a new friend…

S4E05: The Empress’s New Clothes

Thu, 15 Jan 2026 17:04:00 -0000

There has never been a time that the Bastards needed to go shopping more than today. Well, there may have been a few times- but this is a big one. Cleo has not come out of her room for days and days, and she has nothing to wear. She has been in the Ursine for so long. The whole ship is uneasy. There are villains at large. The galaxy is in flux, and there are a thousand loose threads. But today, we shop.

S4E04: Damage feat. Fiona K. T. Howat and Hamilton

Thu, 18 Dec 2025 15:22:00 -0000

The fight is over. One by one our rescuers find each other again. Boris, Fron and Bortis leave a grim discovery behind them, while Vache and Nine Blades realize a new mission. At the last moment, Dr. Ze hears Cleo in the darkness. The whole party is back together, so many foes have been bested, and they have their heading… …but the damage has been done.

S4E03: Best friends friends feat. Fiona K. T. Howat and Hamilton

Wed, 19 Nov 2025 23:00:00 -0000

When the going gets tough, the tough split the party. (…Right?) The hunt for Cleo continues, as the Cap/Bastard rescue squad spreads through the BioLife flagship like a handful of subpar nanites. Ze kicks us off by taking one for the universe by locking himself in with Robin to both protect the party, and gather intel. Together, they discover that Robin is not the only big fish in this pond. While Ze goes brain to brain with a fellow brain, Bortis, Boris, and Fron come together to form the Best Friends Force (BFF). Or is it Best Friend’s Friends? Either way, they’re in the vents and they’re fueled by the undeniable power of friendship, which might be the strongest bet we’ve got. Vache, Nine Blades and Margo on the other hand, go for a distraction maneuver, leaving them to stumble upon a certain high level manager all on their lonesome... All the while Cleo is fighting against the clock for her life. Move your big toe, damnit!

S4E02: An eerie presence feat. Fiona K. T. Howat and Hamilton

Thu, 23 Oct 2025 12:21:00 -0000

The plan is working, and our crew is aboard the BioLife ship, where wave after wave of guards welcome them. It's the fastest slow going you could hope for, while Boris, Trevor, Dr. Ze, The Nine Blades and Vache fight to clear the halls, and our Cleo fights to stay alive. Every BioLife lackey between the rescue team and Cleo is a bag of extracted blood, a few million nanites, a last minute stalling tactic.

Regardless, our rescuers have boarded, and it's enough work to stay alive. There is no time to stop and consider the small pull at the edge of their minds... An eerie presence somewhere in the ship. There is something more dangerous than just soldiers here.

S4E01: Surprise Surprise feat. Fiona K. T. Howat and Hamilton

Sat, 27 Sep 2025 15:41:00 -0000

The Caps, The remaining Bastards, and… Margo’s BioLife escapee friends, are teaming up to bring back Cleo. Vache de Mer and The Nine Blades have been captured by BioLife almost more times than they can count. (They are after all, remnants of experiments failed.) Which is why they’re Margo’s ticket to stealthily finding the BioLife stronghold that’s holding Cleo. The plan is airtight. Set a trap, lay the bait, wait for capture- and send the whole dang team in to infiltrate. All we need is for the right interstellar space corporation to drive by. Sure hope the fish are bitin’.

Cleo and Robin almost made it. Together they saw the light at the end of the proverbial BioLife hallway. But of course, that was the plan. The scientists bring Robin into Cleo’s cell for one last chat, hoping to wring out the last of their secrets before they eke out the last of her nanites. There can’t be much left, now. Just about a seed’s worth, if anything at all. Season 4 is finally here after a big break, and we are bringing you in smooth!

After the battle at Garcia Station, many Synths accepted M8’s offer of Sanctuary. They heard the code, and they answered the call- not fully understanding what it might mean to be free. The idea itself was a reshaping. To help them along, M8 regales the Synths with tales and visions of Sanctuary, and the great possibility that awaits them all. But as they pull into view, they find that M8’s wondrous data does not quite match what they find there… Season 4 is finally here after a big break, and we are bringing you in smooth!

They might want to be careful about who they talk around though- because loose lips sink ships, even in space…

Short Stories | The Art of Getting Caught feat. Hamilton and Fiona K. T. Howat

Wed, 30 Jul 2025 22:00:00 -0000

While the Bastards and The Caps are busy planning their rescue mission, Margo is busy hunting down her own backup plan. Deep in the jungle on a desolate planet, Margo is tracking down the perpetually-captured duo known as "Nine Blades", (despite having only eight visible), and his precognitive partner Vache de Mer. With their “help”, Margo hatches a scheme to infiltrate BioLife and save Cleo. Her plan? Use Vache and Nine Blades’ unique talent for getting themselves captured by BioLife, as the ultimate Trojan Horse operation. By hiding the Bastard/Cap crew in their stolen BioLife ship and letting themselves get "caught" for the third time, they can infiltrate the facility from the inside and give BioLife "the spicy tickles" they deserve. It's a plan so crazy, it just might work… Season 4 is finally here after a big break, and we are bringing you in smooth!

They meet up with some of Cleo’s old crew, obey to hear their tales about mysterious black nanobots and a BioLife capture!

The chaos engine is out there and the Bastards don’t have long to find it. They’ve landed in Night City behind D.E.E.T.Z. and they’re all on a hunt for Boris’ dark creation. But with drones on their tails and a target trained on Zhu Zhu’s head, they’re on their own and they’re in danger… But it might not be the danger that they think, until it’s much too late.

The crew finally knows the full truth about Boris. …And they’re keepin’ him ANYWAY! But the fight ain’t over yet. They’ve got to get home and make a plan.

It sure ain’t the first time there’s been trouble. And if these unlikely allies can see eye to eye, it won’t have to be the last either.

Lore Dive - MidSpace the place

Thu, 11 Aug 2022 10:07:00 -0000

We’re back with another Backwater Bastards Lore Dive and this week is all about MIDSPACE.

Located in the center of contested space and the beginning of the whole dang Bastard story, Midspace Station is a criminal hideaway and a historic neutral zone.

Come and hear about its wartime origins and how it came to be in the mind of DM Dick Dynamite. (..And while you’re at it, find out the TRUTH about Who runs the Underground, Big Pat’s front business, and if there really IS a secret vent tucked away somewhere on Midspace’s exterior.. just waiting to be clocked by an explosive starship pilot.)

DM Dick, Taylor and Daniel discuss the finer details about psychic powers that might not have made their way into the podcast yet.

Starring:

Richard Kimber-Bell

S2E29: Suspended in sound

Thu, 04 Aug 2022 02:33:00 -0000

It’s time to find out what really waits at the bottom of the One True Leader’s water. After a suspended moment in time learning about Ze’s past, we return to our heroes suspended in the Leader’s very own pond. The battle rages on around them as the cultists begin to lose ground. With their tentative allies ready to strike, Cleo and Ze set out to finish a fight that started many years ago… Hopefully it won’t finish them first.

S2E28: Ze Day part 4: The Legacy Code

Thu, 14 Jul 2022 01:39:00 -0000

They say that The Originator rules in Synth space, but Zafrey Elektra and M8 know otherwise. Our heroes have reached the end of the line here on Gloria’s lonely treasure planet. They have seen unbelievable and wondrous things! But the red jellies draw nearer and their grim song grows louder. They are wounded, pursued, and they have no homes or family. But M8 and Zafrey have the Legacy Code… And each other. And with their own blessing, they move forward together for the first time as unique beings that will never serve a master again.

S2E27: Ze Day part 3: X marks the spot

Fri, 17 Jun 2022 12:08:00 -0000

Zafrey Elektra and M8 weren’t the only ones with a map to Gloria’s treasure. A new band of Atolla have allied with M8’s old crew! A first time meeting turns into a standoff as our young-old heroes attempt an escape from the synth sanctum. But just like the getting here, the leaving proves to be more perilous than any of them could have imagined. M8 and Zafrey have only moments to find their courage, but they are strengthened by the power of friendship, autonomy, and the Angel’s gift of the Legacy Code. It’s time for these new captains to find home.

Thu, 02 Jun 2022 14:11:00 -0000

Zafrey Elektra and M8 have commandeered a pirate starship! Still following the commands of their stony captain stand in (The Rock), they break out of the atmosphere together and program their way to Mid-Space. A meeting with a strange hermit confirms the location of their search. It’s true of course that the cave is full of treasure… But for whom? And have our young adventurers been followed? Perhaps it’s time they captain themselves after all.

Zafrey Elektra is a soldier of the Atoll. He is the son of an invasive hive that jumps from planet to planet to harvest water for their sea.

S2E24: Stop hiding

Thu, 14 Apr 2022 03:32:00 -0000

Cleo and Dr. Ze started this mission with the intent to sew chaos and spread confusion. Maybe even to make a little damage. To cause a tiny moment of trouble! Fortunately they picked something they are both good at. The cultist’s towers go down one by one to the surprise of all assembled, and our heroes prepare to land their finals blows.. ‘Cause there’s only room in this town for one jelly song, y’all.

For a few more credits, the Bastards make a deal and find themselves accompanying their client. But things start to unravel when Cleo recognizes the cheap, white paneling of the temporary hallways. Time sure does fly when you’re on the run. When’s the last time you thought about home, space traveler?

The wonders of the factory are so strange that they nearly forget the one truth of the Bringening... That no good take comes easy.

The Bastards find themselves caught in a war, but they still have their wits, their guns, and BEAR CLAW!

This isn't a situation where phoning a friend might save the day, but Herry won't let that stop him. It's also not a day for weak stomachs. So clearly, it must be time for some soup.

Can our Bastards survive? or better question yet, will everyone else survive?

The skirmish rages on as Larkey's forces draw nearer to the castle - and the real fight flickers on the horizon.

The Bastards have made their repairs, packed their bags, and the plan weaves between them as favors are called in and a small, sneaking surprise unfolds - like a tiny stone in one's shoe - as a peaceful surrender is placed right into Larkey's eager hands... Wonder what the catch is? Watch out for those little stones, adventurer.

Every Bastard has made it to the Zarg Castle.

They've had a few moments to reflect on their fragile mortality, and now they must prepare for the inevitable. Will it be a siege? Another betrayal? An all-out war? The way things have been going, it is hard to say for sure. But for now, this night, they are all together. Preparing their defenses, painting their projectiles, and calling in some favors from a few old friends...

Fri, 19 Mar 2021 00:00:00 -0000

The Bastards gather in the name of their fallen comrade, precariously balanced on the edge of survival, and the edge of their friendship with Clan Zarg.

They've fought many battles together now- destroyed many fine places, crushed many frothy brews, but the revelation of Herodotus' deal fell hard.

The stark truth of the Imperial Armada and a possible Kraw Alliance after all that has befallen. With the bright memory of the poison on their lips - It is Dr. Ze who must now unite them all, on a dangerous trek to the castle, to the Honey Boy, and to Herry himself - holding the gunnery there.

Time is ticking, as the poison blooms.

Dr. Ze has abandoned his Honey Boy shell, and is racing across the castle on the neck of the chemist. Herry is holding off the entire brute force of the castle army- and Clan Zarg is in disarray as the call for Trevor goes out.

It's a mad race to salvage life and limb, and as long as Herodotus can hold 'em off, there's hope for Dr. Ze to get the antidote in time.

Or is there? It appears the poison and the ambush weren't the only bones the universe had to cast.

We left Herodotus and Dr. Ze lying in wait in the shopkeeper's inventory room.

Ready to Trojan Horse their way into the castle under the disguise of the Kraw shopkeep himself, in an act of stealth.

Cleo and Clan Zarg make merry in the town, flashing their selfie sticks, spilling Red Moon Worms, and raising their deep, deep cups.

Hold vigil with us, listeners. For the Bastard in the box, The one on the Kraw, and the many bleeding out on the floor.

Picture if you will, a troupe of hardy adventurers geared in the sharpest armor, carrying secure packs of the most finely crafted weaponry- with minds tuned to one goal, one dream- one fight...

They file out of their warship, ready to complete their mission. Prepared to finish this arcane task, having made peace with their gods and their clans. Serene in their readiness for the battle.

Marching silently ever onward to the- ...to the fried dough stand?

The time is NOW spaceheads! The Bastards and Clan Zarg have descended on Zarg Moon disguised as a dinky tour group, snapping up souvenirs and following a tiny little flag on a stick while they wave all their selfie sticks because THERE’S A CASTLE TO TAKE AND BY GOD, WE ARE DOING IT FOR THE ‘GRAM!

Here to see the land they mean to free, and meet the rest of the people that mean to free it- the crew drafts a plan, a PowerPoint, a couple hundred bombs - ... And an order of printed nametags?

Quick! Somebody call a project manager- these idiots are organizing a WAR.

The Bastards are making their way... towards Firsnear, but it's a long ways to go. So the team kick back and enjoy a few road beers- until Dr. Ze starts getting a call, straight into his mind?

Our customs horror saga continues, with Cleo, Dr. Ze, and the nefarious nineteen of Clan Zarg stuck together in a line.

Somewhere, beyond the pearly sterile gates of immigration- Herodotus waters himself liberally in an airport bar.

A couple of forms and 436 lies later- our Bastards emerge! Nude, changed, and ready to DESCEND with horrible ferocity and lethal accuracy upon a sunlit morning bistro in the arrivals quarter- for a freedom feast the likes of which the New Terran Astroport has never seen, nor shall ever see again.

(Well... Maybe.)

Deep inside the synth body factory, the battle against the honey boy rages on- as a rogue AI takes its wild revenge on our humble travelers. Things start to look up as our team learns to assemble, with the help of Dr. Ze's shiny new body! However, that moment of camaraderie is not enough, and we soon find ourselves reminded why the doctor can never have nice things.

Now, who could have seen that coming?

Our intrepid team has once again escaped the gaping maw of battle unscathed! Well- Except for Dr. Ze who has lost most of his mechanical body! So, somewhat scathed! Dr. Ze, bravely existing in a... bag of sorts, is ready for a new vessel. And so into synth space, our Bastards go. Home to the highest echelon of synthetic technology and crafting, this should be as easy as stopping station-side to buy supplies. Except that, stopping station-side to buy supplies never does seem to go easily for our Bastards. Because this time there is honey.

Thu, 05 Nov 2020 01:00:00 -0000

Part 3 of the Cleo and Dr. Ze friendship origin saga!

Turns out, the Prison King and his crew weren’t the only obstacles in between Dr. Ze, Cleo, and those ships. Looks like the guards want to pull up a chair as well. Will Spines get to keep the mech? Will Cleo get her loot back from the cavernous intake room? ...Did they think about the massive bottleneck that’s going to form when every criminal in the prison tries to bust through the unguarded main door after those two single ships?

Looks like it may be time for a grand gesture. BUCKLE UP!

(Hey Bastards! This was the first episode we ever streamed live on twitch! Were you one of the luckies that caught it? If you wanna see DM DICK DYNAMITE’S smug mug every time he slams us for a natural 1, and ya don’t mind our wildly unedited spoilers, come on by and watch us at @theDickDynamite on twitch!

The Prison King and his weird little army are the only things standing in between Dr. Ze and Cleo’s big escape! The battle lines have been drawn, and our motley crew ventures forth with their improvised weapons. The Prison King’s crew is fierce- and there are only two ships docked. Cleo’s got valuable loot trapped in intake- and the synth chefs are lost in the vents. So there’s only one thing to do. It’s time to make soup.

Part 1 of the Cleo and Dr. Ze friendship origin saga!

Many years ago in a star system far, far, away- Dr. Ze met Cleo in a backspace high-security prison. Being individuals of such... High creative energy, it was clear that they could not stay interred for long. Zip up yer uniform jumpsuits, troublemakers, cause these criminals are planning a jailbreak- and they're taking as many empty brains along with them as Dr. Ze can grab with a tentacle. Hope nobody's planning on getting in the way...

As usual, The Bastards have left themselves only moments to escape. But Herodotus has brokered his shiny new sand deal- Dr. Ze has found fellowship with these other plasmic beings, and Cleo- well.

Cleo has already made a whole clutch of explosives in the name of the Jelly’s reptilian charges. It looks like The Bastards have picked a side- and a FIGHT.

S1E14: I Got Blasted at Bengaman's [feat. SETH]

Thu, 23 Jul 2020 00:00:00 -0000

The PARTY RAGES ON with the third and final event in our birthday saga. The time of the laser tag and the bowling has passed. The carnage left in those great theatres of battle was only a shade of the struggle in this quest for the one warp coil. And now in this, the final hour- behind the pizza-slick shroud of RANGO™® the deceiver of Bengaman's- our fellowship gathers in the neon light of an arcade and our man of no name but of many birthdays is challenged to a dance-off.

(Yo! Bastards! It was DM Dick Dynamite's™ ACTUAL REAL LIFE BIRTHDAY, so us Bastards put our magical friend rings together and summoned DM SETH™ from neighboring podcast, Cheaper by the Dungeon to take his place so that HE COULD PLAY! Tune in for a first-time Bastard exclusive- PLAYER CHARACTER DICK BIRTHDAY DYNAMITE™!)

The Birthdaying continues with PART TWO of the saga! Cleo, Dr. Ze, and their new compatriot "the man with no name" are reeling in tickets and getting close to not being invited back. They've bested the laser tag arena- and have moved on to BOWLING straight through the next wholesome alien family. When will it end? (Never. Birthday FOREVER. Get those tokens, kids. Daddy needs a new warp coil.)

After all that splittin', the party is back together! And now that we're all here, it's time for some classics. Cleo's nearly gone and blown herself up again, Herodotus is grandstanding in honor of his ovular son, and Dr. Ze is hiding in a hallway somewhere doing the real heavy lifting.

S1E10: Keep Rolling

Thu, 25 Jun 2020 12:00:00 -0000

The hunt for the egg continues as the Bastards "stealth" through the enemy base. In between the splitting of the party, the massive firefight, and all of the ...questionable choices- will the young ovum ever make its way back onto Reese? Will the Bastards get a chance to be a family again? Or will this rescue op end on the roof of this base- surrounded by enemy fire, as an escape ship hovers precariously above their heads...

All of the Bastards and their newfound compatriots have gathered back at the ship and are about to set out on a... mission of stealth? Can they do it? Can they still the urge to yell an insult, toss a grenade, or, unsheath an energy blade? Either way, they're on the trail, deep into an enemy base- to retrieve their lost loot...

Thu, 11 Jun 2020 12:00:00 -0000

Our intrepid collectors of crap, Cleo and Dr. Ze, continue buying up the station- while the ever noble Herodotus Arthurian Mendleroth the THIRD, gets a bit too saucy on wraith attention and.. And? Loses something of great import.. That's right, space cowboys. Hang up your shopping and pile into the rover, we may not know what's in it- but this split party has a heading, and it's OVULAR.

Thu, 04 Jun 2020 12:00:00 -0000

IT'S TIME TO GO SHOPPING. The Bastards have warped on out to a busy little border town on the edge of synth space. Garcia Station, (named for our new Patron, Fernando Garcia!), is home to all manner of shady folk and obscure doings... And it is here that we make our scene, and set about emptying wallets.

Or collecting ill-gotten goods, whatever. Every girl really should have a mobile turret gun, you know?

Thu, 21 May 2020 18:00:00 -0000

WOOP WOOP that’s the sound of the... local synth authorities? The Bastards have made contact with Hans, are making contact with the unhappy locals- and are likely about to make contact with the armored, hulking command ship idling in the distance. Can our intrepid travelers survive another showdown before Reese falls to pieces?

Better grab a turret while they’re still attached...

S1E05: Hans the Space Dragon [feat. Spiridon Giannakis]

Wed, 13 May 2020 22:00:00 -0000

After a SECOND narrow station escape, our Bastards have finally dropped into contested space. Buckled in with their crate of credits, a mildly jostled but intact mystery charge, and a creaking but still cruising ship- things are looking promising, at long last. Except- a planetary body may be approaching in the front-illuminated by the faint glow of an enemy armada from behind, and the inscrutable, perfect dark of a twisting figure, not in front, or behind-

..but everywhere. And it hungers...HOLD ONTO YER CREDITS SPACETRASH! BOOSTERS AIN'T COOLED YET!

Armed to the teeth after a quick getaway- egg and briefcase of credits in hand- the Bastards are set to warp! Ahem. However, it does appear that our intrepid pilot, Herodotus, has left some personal effects station side and needs to turn back. If y'all weren't strapped to your seats before, then you'd best cinch your corpse holsters while you can because we are TURNING THIS SHIP AROUND... As soon as... We get rid of D.E.E.T.Z?

Midspace, we (may) have a problem.

Our trio's subterranean adventure continues, as they barely escape a brush with fate, in the form of a mutated cavern beast. They quickly learn that not all tentacles are to be trusted! (But they can be blown off. Some laws are universal.) It turns out, that their hunt has been fruitful in more ways than one! They have located their mysterious flying quarry underneath the.. Trash pile... And shall henceforth know that it shall be called R.E.E.S.E.! And Reese is happy to see them, the expected visitors, but-

Reese has also explained to them that they are not alone. Our Bastards may be stowaways themselves, but it appears another has claimed that title first, and our heroes are about to make some big decisions about it. Get on board, crew. Because we're about to break the surface!

Jump down into this hole with our... Heroes... And find out if that smell is garbage or Cleo, what's just brushed up against Dr. Ze's leg- and if Herodotus really is the battle master that he claims... Because today, for the first time, the Bastards roll for initiative in SPACE

Wed, 15 Apr 2020 21:00:00 -0000

Our adventure begins. Our scene is the Midspace star station. A long-forgotten diplomatic hub torn between three warring empires. In a shady saloon, we meet an Ursine, a jellyfish in a bowl, and an aging imperialist downing drinks. They're offending synthetics, and badly negotiating the price of a scrap run for the local saloon kingpin's anonymous benefactor. Come see what they find in the bowels of Midspace- or rather, what finds THEM.
