Big Gay Nerds: Episode 175 (Beam Saber 1.2) Oct 21, 2020

Show notes

The Forget-Me-Nots have been assigned their first mission, and it's a tense one! A squad of Royal Blue pilots have been taken captive by Dragonteeth pirates, and it will take trained diplomats to secure their safe release! Of course, if diplomacy doesn't work... we DO have giant robots. Can this fresh team negotiate with what little leverage they have, and is there more to this situation than meets the eye?

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 174 (Beam Saber 1.1) Oct 14, 2020

Show notes

Almost two thousand years after the Resurrectionists pulled off their final score, a new collection of misfits with tragic pasts gather... That's right: we're playing a sequel to our Blades in the Dark campaign, with a system that builds on BitD by adding giant robots to it! Can a squad of spies and diplomats employed by an embattled monarchy make a difference in the War, or at least reach their own disparate goals? More importantly, can they settle on a name? We know it's a big timeskip, so here's a handy setting guide by our beloved Saturn: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pmQ2YqTi-Hwzol25LR0jTmYtcx7fRaVsjbbSrSzwytI/edit Beam Saber is a game by Austin Ramsay and can be bought here: https://austin-ramsay.itch.io/beamsaber Intro/outro music from Aesop Rock's The Blob

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 173 (Masks 1.6) Oct 02, 2020

Show notes

Despite a technical error that silenced one of our players, I have done my best to bring you this annotated conclusion to our first Masks block. The young heroes, deciding that there are fates worse than death, set out to ask the Fringe Fighters for sponsorship... but their commute is cut short by subterranean villainy! Luke makes good use of teamwork, Pipa lends a hand or two, Pate tries to use her muscles peacefully, and Juno does some helpful new tricks! Music by Perennial Sounds LLC

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 172 (Masks 1.5) Sep 23, 2020

Show notes

While hunting for someone to sponsor their team, Juno and Pipa find some more experienced heroes who want to give the next generation a leg up. But when this sweet deal proves laden with awkwardness, could that outweigh all the upsides? Also: Pate learns about hot dogs, Luke wants to meet some dads, Pipa calls the shots, Juno makes a call, and my cultural references get increasingly niche. Music by Perennial Sounds LLC

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 171 (Masks 1.4) Sep 16, 2020

Show notes

After a big day of mall brawls and super-finger-wagging, our young heroes must focus on other matters. For Pate and Luke, that means mandatory counseling sessions for the temporally displaced; for Juno and Pipa, it means hemming and hawing over their job search. Featuring: a tour of two very different Halcyon City neighborhoods, anglophobia, a moment of vulnerability, a brief architecture lesson, and creepin'. Music by Perennial Sounds LLC

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 170 (Masks 1.3) Sep 09, 2020

Show notes

After busting some criminals, our young heroes have themselves been busted for busting up an otherwise thriving and profitable shopping mall! When faced with judgement by the Exemplars--the biggest-deal heroes in Halcyon--will they make good impressions or just make the situation worse? Music by Perennial Sounds LLC

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 169 (Masks 1.2) Sep 02, 2020

Show notes

Our Masks campaign kicks off in the most bustling, vibrant part of any American city: the shopping mall! When our young heroes are witness to a crime, of course they'll spring into action... but could a simple robbery by some punks prove to be more of a challenge than they expect? Music by Perennial Sounds LLC

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 167 (Sports are Just Numerology) Aug 19, 2020

Show notes

Out of all the competitors in the long and sometimes messy history of Giant Robot Derby League, Princess Catamount of the Royal Standard and Alpha of the Chrome Crushers may not have the most impressive statistics... but the story those numbers tell is one worth hearing. Join Owen and Sara in this GM-less, non-linear, conversation-based game about athletes, relationships, and numbers!
