Now that we've done one round of murder and mystery in the town of Bitter Branch, it's time to reset the clock and see how things play out... spoiler alert, it's more murder and mystery.

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 188 (Masks 2.2) Feb 10, 2021

Show notes

It's a shockingly well-timed Big Gay Nerds Valentine's Day Special! In Halcyon City, they celebrate in a slightly different way--having a street fair to memorialize a redeemed supervillain--but that's no reason for our young heroes to not spend it enjoying themselves and spreading love! No, the reason they can't do that is because Lady Photon is in town and undoubtedly hatching some deadly plot. Can the gang save the holiday, or will hearts (and worse) get broken?

Our young heroes return, only to face the most frightening foe this roleplaying system has to offer: the opinions of others! Can the team survive getting fashioned police? Who will stand their ground, and who will try to reinvent themselves? And how will their complete lack of budget effect this? Listen on to find out! Music by Perennial Sounds LLC

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 186 (Under Hollow Hills 1.5) Jan 20, 2021

It's time for these circus performers to finally do some performing! But what sorts of acts will entertain an entire market of goblins and other faeries? Along the way we'll get to swing the spotlight towards some other members of the troupe, make and then correct some rules fumbles, experience the highs and lows of PbtA-style dice rolls, and bring everything to a finale that literally none of us saw coming.
