Big Gay Nerds: Episode 245 (Pigsmoke 4.2) Dec 14, 2022

Show notes

The Pigsmoke professors have turned their attention to Chad Blackwood, the Chosen One, and the fact that he doesn't seem to have been Chosen to do anything in particular. Extra-curricular heroism is in order, but what challenge can they throw at the lad without getting him hurt... or, more importantly, them in trouble? Simone's departmental pickle may be just the thing, but something's up between one of the key players and Divino, and meanwhile Liam's situation hasn't gotten any less complicated.

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 244 (Pigsmoke 4.1) Dec 07, 2022

Show notes

After far too long we're back at the hallowed halls of Pigsmoke, America's premier place of arcane higher learning! As we get reacquainted with the setting, system, and story, we watch three of our magical professors just tryin' to get by: Simone Solomon and Liam Webb research their specialist topics with wildly varying degrees of success, while Divino Cristobal grapples with teaching after a recent... "lifestyle change," as it were. Content warning for implied ritual suicide resulting in undeath.

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 242 (Strike Down Vader 1.3) Nov 16, 2022

Show notes

Having plundered the tomb of General Grevious, our would-be assassins are bound for the Empire's overdeveloped nucleus: Coruscant! In order to find medical droids with first-hand knowledge of Vader's extensive augmentations, they'll need to seek out uneasy allies, traverse the social strata of a planet-city, and put themselves in some morally compromised positions. Will it pay off, or will the law catch them before they can even face their masked foe? Content warnings: "car" chases, mention of medical experimentation, explosives and violence in a hospital.

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 241 (Strike Down Vader 1.2) Nov 09, 2022

Show notes

Our three would-be assassins have a long way to go before they can Strike Down Vader, and their first stop is the planet Utapau. This formerly contested planet is now firmly under Imperial control, but its governor may have a relic of the past that contains valuable information. Can the misfits talk their way in and out of one of the most secure locations on the planet, even if it means... hanging out with a self-important faux-intellectual colonialist asshole? Content warnings: racism towards fictional cultures, brief mind control, display of a dead body.

Show notes

It's not Beam Saber, it's not the Forget-Me-Nots, it's not even the same time and place; we're taking a one-shot detour to watch three Dragonteeth operatives heist their way through a orbital-elevator casino. Will the charming Sweetheart, the burly Hammer, and the chromed-out Shadow be able to get the goods and escape with their lives, and how does this connect to what's happening in our main campaign? We're about to find out, while playing the simple and engaging 2400 system by Jason Tucci! 2400 and The Venusian Job can be found here: https://jasontocci.itch.io/2400 Music is TaishoRoman_Battle by Peritune www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1-LuS7oVHY under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Show notes

It's time for downtime again, and the Forget-Me-Nots are swimming in resources thanks to their new connections and flawless victory, TOTALLY not just because of a lucky roll.

Show notes

Having made the most of a sloppy opening and taken out one of four mini-squads, the Forget-Me-Nots get stuck in! But even as the tide turns in their favor--with both Vicious ladies showing their teeth and Boss showing some tactical insight--can they take on a heavily-armed religious extremist who was once their former teammate's Rival? Listen on for thrills, chills, and spills!

The Forget-Me-Not's first open combat mission (or rather, first intentional open combat mission) is off to a rocky start thanks to a bad engagement roll and an all-too-eager young ally. Can they salvage the situation and look good in the process? Pfeffer wrangles with his own upgrades, Arabella shows off her mech's wild side, and Gabrielle goes spearfishing.
