This is another part of the big “2020 Close-out!” backlog rush, and as such the notes here are at a minimum.
In this character jam, we follow up on the previous Firefly jam, and finally make the most important character of all: our ship!
NOTE: This episode kicks off a major effort to clear out the editing backlog in the final weeks of 2020. The show notes on these are kept at a minimum until we clear out the log, which ends with the last of our new Mothership RPG Actual Play sessions.
In this new Character Jam, we make an _awesome_ set of new heroes for the excellent Firefly RPG. Please give it a listen, and then check out the special bonus Part 2 episode on Patreon, where we later meet back up and create our ship!
Listen closely, dear Listener, to this deep cautionary tale of poor decisions and destroyed souls. The BDaB crew finally (!) delivers on its long-mentioned promise of guiding you through a taste sampler review of all the flavors of MD “Mad Dog” 2020 wine that we could acquire. Why would we inflict this torture upon ourselves? For comedy and science, of course. We drink the Mad Dog, so you don’t have to. Don’t know what Mad Dog is? Give us a listen and you will very quickly find out!
We’re bringing you a special bonus message from the Breakfast Puppies crew: Stay the Fuck Home! This mini-episode details how the four of us are dealing with the current COVID-19 aka Coronavirus outbreak and subsequent quarantine. If you’re looking for tips on how to stay sane, listen along. And if you are losing your shit, please join us online, reach out to us however you can. We’re here for you.
Listen now to our fifth and final session in the first story arc of the “Out of Time” campaign for the Tales from the Loop RPG. This is a long one, and took a bit longer than usual to assemble. I don’t want to spoil a single moment, so please, pour yourself some libations, prepare a snack or five, and enjoy the adventure!
Our very special “Tales from the Loop” actual play campaign continues in its fourth session! Our kid heroes are getting closer to solving the mystery of the time bubble in this fantastic RPG about a weird retro-tech 1980s that never was. Some crazy shit happens this time around!
Our Tales from the Loop actual play campaign continues with part 3 of the “Out of Time” adventure. Journey with us to a special 1986 version of Klamath Falls, OR that never was, with Bon Jovi, the Goonies, particle accelerators, and a Volkswagen-sized robot.
We’re finally proud to present to you the first extended play session of our brand new Tales from the Loop campaign! In this ongoing adventure, we will be playing through the brand spanking new Out of Time adventure series, which was released as an early bonus to the backers of Free League’s recent Kickstarter for the game’s follow-up campaign, Things from the Flood. Inspired by the artwork of Simon Stålenhag, the works of Steven King, and more than a little Stranger Things throw into the mix, Tales from the Loop takes us to a 1980s that never was, filled with weird robots, mysterious plots, and the bizarre side effects of living in a town with a state of the art particle accelerator. So join us for an advance look into the new book, and stick around for the sometimes-deep but often-hilarious adventures in our own techno-magical version of Klamath Falls Oregon, 1986.
Back when JJ, DXG, and I started this variety show project, one of the ideas that we had for filling time after recording an episode was to keep drinking while trying to make characters for the many different RPGs sitting on my gaming shelf. We called these “Character Jams” and they started pretty early on in our show. While we’ve had a blast each time we’ve recorded one of these Jams, and occasionally joked about how fun a campaign with the characters would be, we never had actual intentions of taking them any further than the char-gen process. After all, there are so many games to jam on, and we wanna get to all of them someday, right?
The Gamestorm 2019 live event recording now concludes in the third and final part of this saga. This three-parter was recorded at the Gamestorm convention this past March, right here in Portland, Oregon. As with all of our convention and one-shot gaming events, this game was played “hot seat” style, with new players rotating in every time a party member died in the dungeon. It’s always a roaring good time, and this event was no exception! So we hope you enjoy yet another delve into the randomly-generated insanity of HAMMERCRAWL!
