I hope you like montages because we for sure did one this week. Also it's very funny and has at least three bits that could have been full on mini-arcs of their own #swn #actualplaypodcast #scifi #ttrpg

So I hear their guest this week is some bearded weirdo who likes books or whatever. Probably a really fun listen, I dunno (it's our Geoff, aka Grace/Hopper, aka everyone's favorite slightly malevolent VI with several hearts of gold, or at least hearts of *something*...don't ask)

You know, some folks seemed to think we got off lightly with that whole jump failure resulting in a mostly dead ship stranded in an unknown system thing. This latest little wrinkle is for them. #swn #ttrpg #podcast #actualplay #scifi

Remember when Team Meatbag suffered a catastrophic jump failure and were left adrift in an unknown system, most of their ship beyond even Mackie's slightly OP fix check? Remember thinking, hey, that w...
