S1E10: Keep Rolling Jun 25, 2020

Show notes

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...

S1E09: Wheels or Wings? Jun 18, 2020

Show notes

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...

S1E08: When life hands ya Eggs Jun 11, 2020

Show notes

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.

S1E07: Garcia Station Jun 04, 2020

Show notes

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?

S1E06: BIG Badda BOOM! [feat. Spiridon Giannakis] May 21, 2020

Show notes

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] May 13, 2020

Show notes

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!

S1E04: The Plentiful Pantry May 07, 2020

Show notes

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.

S1E03: Midspace Miscreants Apr 30, 2020

Show notes

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!

Show notes

The Bastards are now three, and they've got a job to do.Picked up by local kingpin D.E.E.T.Z.; Cleo, Dr. Ze, and Herodotus are headed into the bowels of Mid space to bring back a... Well, they didn't really read the manifest. But they'll know when they find it... Right?

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

S1E01: A Meeting in Midspace Apr 15, 2020

Show notes

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.
