Nicks's journey reaches its thrilling climax and chilling conclusion! As he ventures deeper into the abbey in search of treasure, he will find more and more hints at the horrific events that led to its abandonment and the terrifying truths of its current state... and we'll find out just how truly roguish he is.

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 125 (Bleak Spirit 1.1) Jul 17, 2019

Show notes

We're delving into the pre-release version of a game from the creator of Pigsmoke: Bleak Spirit, a game about a stranger in a strange land where no one knows for sure what the real story is. Owen, Levi, Fern, and Vanessa share control of a roguish skink and the swamped abbey he's exploring; what kind of narrative could emerge from this? It's anyone's guess, but our money isn't on a sunshiny one. Content Warning: Brief description of some nasty corpses.

Having recruited a new member, secured some privacy, and shifted their inter-gang alliances, the Resurrectionists settle in for a week of recuperation. Blondie hob-nobs over tea, Flint sticks his nose around, Thalia dances like no one's watching, and Ira makes some friends. However, the factions of Doskvol are never at rest in their struggle for supremacy, and unseen clocks tick towards midnight...

Show notes

The Resurrectionists have welcomed Ira Glasgow the Slide into their ranks, but they find themselves in a familiar situation when Ira's prior... ahem, associate isn't eager to let them move on. Can a band of rogues, used to getting what they want through deception and violence, find peaceful resolution with a ruthless and paranoid gang leader? Or will someone get a knife thrown into their shoulder? Whoops, that was probably way too specific.

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 122 (Blades in the Dark 4.3) Jun 19, 2019

Show notes

The Resurrectionists set out to find their next score, but quickly discover that political powderkegs with underlying hints of conspiracy are, in fact, complicated. Short on leads, they stumble into one person with the skills and contacts to help them navigate this web of conflict and intrigue... and immediately antagonize them. Featuring the return of Fern, previously heard in our Maid RPG adventures!

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 121 (Blades in the Dark 4.2) Jun 12, 2019

Show notes

With their latest wins and losses behind them, the Resurrectionists settle in for a little downtime. Franz recovers from the (ahem) licking he got, Thalia reflects a little on her home life, and Kristov makes an unexpected breakthrough. Then it's time to contemplate their next move, with a little guidance from new allies, though not all sources are equally trustworthy...

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 120 (Blades in the Dark 4.1) Jun 05, 2019

Show notes

The Resurrectionists are back, as their name would imply! We return to Doskvol after a long hiatus to see our favorite pseudo-Victorian rogues finish what they started: tracking down and killing a masked assassin in order to pay off a criminal organization for poaching their shark-woman fence. Franz/Blondie hits up an old contact who hits back, Thalia/Shade follows some spectral clues, Kristov/Flint puts a little English on the metaphorical ball, and Crowl/Club's clock ticks.

The Battle of Smyden continues as our knights converge on the aliens' entry point! Zeno keeps up the wrestlemania, Geoffrey has a lucky streak, Agrippa plays diplomatic hardball, and Prim has her best bad idea yet.

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 117 (Fate 1.9) May 08, 2019

Show notes

The Invasion that these Knights are Of, apparently, finally kicks off! When the volcano that once split Jorl in two becomes the beachhead for a hostile force, can our ragtag heroes and their hurried coalition stand against it? Geoffrey puts his jousting skills to use, Prim uses some urban combat tactics, Zeno braves the fire, and Agrippa fights as dirtily as possible. Content Warning: Some gore, mostly inflicted upon big evil aliens.
