S2E39: The Chaos engine_01_FINAL Mar 23, 2023

Show notes

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. The Bastards owe D.E.E.T.Z. and Zhu Zhu a visit about the future of Midspace- and maybe a little warning about the interstellar crap-storm that’s on the way. 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.

Show notes

Peàrl and Petune must now trust Boris if there is to be any chance that the twins survive BJ. What was once just a bit of fun has now become life-threatening, and perhaps their trusted knowledge of chemistry wont save them. Meanwhile Boris must do what ever he can to keep his friends safe.

S2E36: Borigin Part 1 - Falling Bricks Jan 26, 2023

Show notes

Boris is Boritheleon Hasilfilliams III, son of the biggest arms dealer in the galaxy. He’s a known genius, and a key cog in the terrible machine of his father’s plans. He’s been hiding for a long time. Doing odd jobs across the system, slumming it with his found family… But things have caught up with him now. Daddy’s home, a world ending weapon is on the loose, and there’s a whole lot of explaining to do about how exactly he got caught up in all of this.

Lore Dive - Ships Jan 19, 2023

Show notes

We’re back with another Backwater Bastards Lore Dive and this week is all about SHIPS. SHIPS are pretty important to our story. They’re why we met! Both in real life, and in the game. Cruising space just wouldn’t be the same without ‘em. Dan and Tay join DM Dick Dynamite as he pops the hood on the galaxy’s favourite vehicles, how they work in combat, and what inspired them in the first place. If you’ve ever wondered how to build your own frigate, how indoor jacuzzis work in zero G, or if R.E.E.S.E. can download into a synthetic body the next time it all goes south, then this dive is for you. ALL ABOARD!
