Big Gay Nerds: Episode 265 (Strike Force Omega 1.3) Sep 19, 2023

Show notes

With their foots firmly in Kronos's door, the strikers must plan their route through this city-sized space station full of weird science and armed occupiers. Will they be able to stealth their way through this one, or are just just too cool and powerful to go unnoticed? Contact explores some vents, Theo shows off his latest horrible power, and Quinn finds their true role as the party face. Content warning for binding and gagging a prisoner, and vomiting (kind of).

Show notes

Our trio of renegade Strikers begin their first capital-m Mission to liberate the Amarat system from the Immortal Caesar! They're headed to the research station Kronos, which has been turned into a den of unethical experimentation by the Caesar's personal R&D team; seems like it's time to shove some evil dorks into lockers! Stay tuned for a dive into SFO's combat rules, some fast-paced action, and several unauthorized celebrity cameos! Clock icons referenced were "Blades in the Dark Clocks" by Tim Denee. Content warning for extreme blood loss, military occupation of a civilian settlement, and armed hostage-taking.

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 263 (Strike Force Omega 1.1) Aug 31, 2023

Show notes

In the grim darkness of an unspecified future time, the Imperial Core gluts itself on conquest of the stars and exploitation of its own people. Out on the Fringe, people have to make due with what they have, but it's a damn sight better than being directly under the empire's heel. At least, that's what Quinn, Theovore, and Contact Zero-One--a trio of weird and mysterious badasses--seem to think. But when their adopted home system gets invaded, could their mysterious connections to the Core be just what's needed to keep that freedom? Content warnings for reference to medical dissection and human experimentation, undead, and armed violence (the latter will likely apply to most of this system).

We've had stealth, seduction, secret plans upon secret plan, but now there's no more skirting around it: it's time for the climactic ninja battle to determine who's going home with the scary ancient dagger! Will it be the straight-laced Jiro, the free-spirited Seiko, or the mercenary Mina? There's no backing out, and any one of them might just be forced to use... *that technique*!

Show notes

Well, the name of the game said a creature would come for us, so there wasn't any getting around it. It's one canal-city of rodent people against a giant, fiery, bioengineered relic of the past, with three underdogs poised to step in as heroes--tragic or otherwise. Will they beat the odds or be utterly destroyed? The answer... may surprise you! Content warnings for character death, burning, flooding, and the destruction of an urban center.

Owen, Jonix, and Elly gather 'round to play a GM-less game about procedurally building some people, their home, and a dangerous beast that threatens both! By grabbing onto seemingly disconnected concepts, we wind up with a post-apocalyptic canal city of technologically advanced rodents! What--or who--could possibly want to destroy their funny little society, and how could they possibly defend themselves? The answers to both lie in the cards... Content warning for discussion of urban flooding.
