S2E32: Eep Oct 14, 2022

Show notes

BORIS IS MISSING and the Bastards are hot on his trail. With almost no time to recover from being doxxed, the crew harnesses their “whole selves” to set off into the hidden tunnels of Midspace. Did Boris come this way? Was he taken? Is he ok? And maybe more importantly yet- do we really know anything about him at all?

Lore Dive - Gear and equipment Sep 22, 2022

Show notes

We’re back with another Backwater Bastards Lore Dive and this week is all about THE EQUIPMENT AND THE GEAR!

Yeah we talked about places, but now we have to talk about STUFF. And not just any stuff- but the stuff that matters. Weapons. Blasters. Energy gloves, explosives, vehicles and armor!

We’ve got questions about what can be a weapon, and why the answer is everything but only if a Bastard is holding it.

If you’ve ever wondered what powers an energy staff, how the heck shields work, or what the official weapon of the Synth Empire is, then THIS is the dive for you.

Note choose your fighter and let’s GO!

S2E31: Knock Knock Sep 16, 2022

Show notes

There’s somebody at the door? The Bastards have set up their secret underground lair, unloaded their bizarre spoils, and somehow they’ve been found anyway. An emissary of a certain princess has come calling and there’s a deal on the table. The Bastards have a reputation now, you see. Maybe even some sway for once! But a bigger battle is brewing, and they may be right in the middle of it.
