Backwater Bastards: An Actual Play Podcast

Latest Episodes:

S1E20: Dirty Herry I Sep 10, 2020

Show notes

Cleo is gonna blow some ship up! Ze is about to perform surgery, and Herodotus is caught staring at an old Lover. Our Bastards are in a pickle now, but this time they are fighting for the right reasons. Money and Lust! The aerial assault is underway! 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.

S1E19: The Diplomat Sep 03, 2020

Show notes

Endeared to the Jelly people by Cleo's love of pterodactyls, The Bastards continue their diplomatic mission from Monty into the secret mountain lair. Touring through the complex labyrinth of the Jelly's home, and sifting through the psychic imagery of their culture (while Dr. Ze sagely blocks Herodotus' "psychic culture" from THEM)- The Bastards find themselves in a familiar pickle. Well grab yerselves one of these flying battledactyls, adventurer, it's been a whole thirty seconds since Cleo napalmed a star system.

S1E14: I Got Blasted at Bengaman's [feat. SETH] Jul 23, 2020

Show notes

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™!)

S1E13: Bengaman's Bowling Bonanza [feat. SETH] Jul 16, 2020

Show notes

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.)

S1E11: Making my way Downtown and I'm Homebound Jul 03, 2020

Show notes

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.

You can expect a destroyed ship or two, some friendly fire, AND REESE'S SHINY NEW PAINT JOB! (Please remain seated and engage your gravity control mechanism while hearing about it. As per usual, it is out of this WORLD.)
