Big Gay Nerds: Episode 67 (Spell 1.2) Mar 07, 2018

Show notes

In this episode, things kick off with chaotic action and that pretty much sets the tone for the remaining hour. Our lovable miscreants show some style, show some leg, have a little qar trouble, meet someone stranger than them, and make a buzz, all with the help of some randomly-generated letters. If you're listening to this as it airs, there's still time to back Spell's Kickstarter and push for some stretch goals! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/whimsymachine/make-100-spell-the-rpg-and-spellbook-engraved-wood

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 65 (Blades in the Dark 2.5) Feb 21, 2018

Show notes

The Resurrectionists rappel directly into a tense stand-off with a guest-star celebrity (lookalike) villain! Luckily, he's willing to give them a sporting chance with a game of chance, and Flint is all too eager to accept the challenge. Meanwhile, Pebble struggles with the one thing she's best at, Club gets flirty, and Blondie waits patiently for his time to shine.

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 64 (Blades in the Dark 2.4) Feb 14, 2018

Show notes

With the Clarion House back in their sights and their past failures firmly in mind, the Resurrectionists decide that a little information-gathering would not be amiss. To this end, they make a friend who proves more helpful than expected in some ways and much less helpful than expected in others, and Crowl reunites with a resourceful but less-than-friendly acquaintance. But will it all be enough to stop them from barging into the worst possible situation?

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 63 (Blades in the Dark 2.3) Feb 08, 2018

Show notes

In this episode, the Resurrectionists realize that they might be in over their heads, and have to make some tough decisions in a hurry. Sometimes, discretion is the better part of valor, especially if you're not valorous to begin with. Blondie makes some observations on the art of killing, Club's inner weasel comes to the surface, Flint does hardcore ghostbusting, and Pebble plays the social game.

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 62 (Blades in the Dark 2.2) Jan 31, 2018

Show notes

Now that they're all rested up--or at least as rested as career criminals in a haunted city can hope to be--the Resurrectionists take some time to pick their next score and settle on driving out local competition. If they could steal a huge gem from one of the most zealously-guarded buildings in Duskvol, driving out some squatters should be a walk in the park, right? Well, it might be, if the dice weren't out for our blood.

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 61 (Blades in the Dark 2.1) Jan 24, 2018

Show notes

We finally return to Duskvol and the Resurrectionists! After their daring heist in the last session, our characters' bones and egos have seen better days, and on top of that the law's on their tails, so it's time to lay low and recuperate. Blondie makes conversation with some pleasant older ladies, Pebble has a very memorable date, the Club is very good at being a crooked cop, and Flint gets medical attention from a patriotic blood-dealer. (Also, I want to remind everyone that our intro/outro music is from The Blob by Aesop Rock.)

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 60 (Monsterhearts 6.5) Jan 17, 2018

Show notes

The last episode of this session ends with a really big bang, and no I'm not going for a cheap sex pun. Pennyworth (now Worthy) goes on a proper rampage and blows away the opposition... until he doesn't. Jessamine is forced to choose between love and hate. Mark busts out a new trick in a moment of desperation. Bishop meets their most daunting adversary yet.

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 59 (Monsterhearts 6.4) Jan 10, 2018

Show notes

This episode mostly revolves around Pennyworth, who we left stuck in a bad situation; and Jessamine, who has finally emerged from her smoke-filled dorm room. They're both looking to get back at the people who've been giving them a hard time, and both discover that payback is never easy or clean. Then shit pops off. Content warning: The next two episodes are a little more violent than usual, and this one features a car crash. Just a heads-up.

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 58 (Monsterhearts 6.3) Jan 03, 2018

Show notes

The first Big Gay Nerds episode of 2018 comes in strong, though not without some sickness-induced complications. While Jessamine lays low and gets high, Bishop takes on yet more obligations in exchange for power, Mark immediately gets hit in the face by the consequences of his actions, and Pennyworth experiences terrifying clarity.
