Big Gay Nerds: Episode 165 (Blades in the Dark FINAL SCORE: Part 6) Jul 22, 2020

Show notes

As we hurtle towards the climax of the Resurrectionists' final, sea-train-based heist, the situation escalates rapidly and our antiheroes have to think fast! But even when their goals are tantalizingly in reach, changes and revelations--both internal and external--threaten to shift priorities! What happens when you become something else to get what you want?

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 164 (Blades in the Dark FINAL SCORE: Part 5) Jul 15, 2020

Show notes

Having uncovered a secret that only raises more questions, the Resurrectionists get to work, grilling suspects and consolidating allies. I can't really say much more for fear of spoilers, except that at one point I make what may be the inverse of a Freudian slip.

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 163 (Blades in the Dark FINAL SCORE: Part 4) Jul 01, 2020

Show notes

After their first day on the Heavensent ended in a shocking revelation, the Resurrectionists stop to get their bearings and finally grill the Azure Rose for everything it knows about the Sun Shard and the man who so desperately wants it. After that, things quickly escalate as this train mystery is graced by the one element it was missing: MURDER! Ira steals valor, Blondie steals a full-grown man, Flint reconnects with an acquaintance, and Thalia just goes from one shocking revelation to the next!

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 162 (Blades in the Dark FINAL SCORE: Part 3) Jun 24, 2020

Show notes

Wooee, it's one of those LONG episodes! There's a little too much to sum up here, but for the sake of tantalizing: Blondie lives out the true tourist experience, Ira has a date, Flint snoops his way into a surprise, and Thalia sticks her spectral nose where it doesn't belong.

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 161 (Blades in the Dark FINAL SCORE: Part 2) Jun 16, 2020

Show notes

As we settle into the train heist's unique system of time management, the gang starts sinking their teeth into the mission. With two targets, likely disguised and/or hidden, what's the best way to find them (let alone secure them) in three days? Ira and Thalia chat up NPCs while Blondie and Flint get up to some sneaky business. Visual aid: https://imgur.com/a/ZdxGDGP

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 160 (Blades in the Dark FINAL SCORE: Part 1) Jun 09, 2020

Show notes

All aboard the Resurrectionists' last score! Once a month, the double-decked locomotive known as the Heavensent takes a three-day journey from Doskvol to Grand Tycheria, crossing over the inky sea. This month, Adelaide Phroaig hopes to clandestinely flee the city, escaping both Imperial assassins and her double-crossed allies, the Resurrectionists. Presumably, she is taking the mysterious Sun Shard--the source of so much infamy--with her. Our antiheroes must use the next three days to find the noblewoman and her treasure if they want any hope of retiring with peace of mind, but will they throw away their lives in the process? It's the beginning of the end, and it starts with a goodbye. The referenced visual aid can be seen here: https://imgur.com/YyIbxTA

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 159 (Blades in the Dark 5.9) Jun 03, 2020

Show notes

With their last big score--infiltrating an sea train in search of revenge and some kind of magic stone--looming in front of them, the Resurrectionists consolidate what resources they have in preparation. Blondie sticks to what he knows, Flint makes some prosperous gambles, Ira seeks creature comforts, and Thalia looks after her husband. At the back of everyone's minds: will it be enough?

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 158 (Blades in the Dark 5.8) May 27, 2020

Show notes

With the action of their rescue mission having rapidly escalated, the Resurrectionists have to act fast to get their man and get out before this becomes another fight to the death. Can Blondie use his brawn smarter, not harder? Can Shade resist using her scary ghost power? Can Silver really talk their way out of anything? And can Flint use all of this to find out what's up with Sweet Winter?

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 157 (Blades in the Dark 5.7) May 20, 2020

Show notes

Amidst everything else, Thalia's husband has gone missing under (cough cough) mysterious circumstances, and only the demonic Blue Rose knows where he is. Of course, its knowledge isn't free. Paying off the Resurrectionists' supernatural informant means saving an unexpected figure from Flint's past, and THAT means the crew has a whole lot of scheming to do. (Apologies for some brief audio trouble near the start; Fern has had to switch his recording equipment.)
