059 – Tentakitten’s Day Out
The party’s separated and held hostage by tentacats (or possibly holding them hostage, depending on point of view). Except for Vons and Wealthy, who are merely held hostage by BELOVED NPC Gex’s snark. And rusty ladders. And their own curiosity. Wealthy finds a situation where she *will* charge in. Aracyne explains it’s not what it…

058 – Pals in Perilous Places
The party struggles to find each other and escape their perilous situation in the lair of the tentacats. At the rate they’re going, they might not even get any treasure at the end of this! But then again, isn’t the real treasure the friends we made along the way? Wealthy jumps at shadows. Vons is…
-
057 – Infiltrating the Hole
The party’s fight against the tentacat concludes! They’re down a few members, but they’re scrappy, and that’s what matters. Meanwhile, Vons and Wealthy try to figure out how to deal with being trapped in darkness, with a hungry creature breathing down their necks… Elara has financial concerns. Aracyne is in the void. Vons reads thiefenscratch.…
-
056 – Goop
The battle against the cat of shadow and tentacles continues! With Aracyne missing, the rest of the party tries to keep it together, take down the creature that took her, and weather the effects the magic goop. It’s a stressful time inside the world’s worst lava lamp. Vons threads the needle. Wealthy can’t find the…
-
055 – The Floor is Made of Magic
The party faces off against a giant, tentacled cat in a room full of molten magic. Spells fly, people are picked up by other people, and magic goop is collided with as the fight gets rolling. Wealthy didn’t watch Willy Wonka. Vons can’t read. Aracyne hears the ocean. Grickx frees his mind. Check us out…
-
054 – Snake, It’s a Snake
The party descends down into the maintenance tunnels to follow Grickx’s investigation into the death of his friend. They actually remember to prepare this time, in flagrant disregard for on-site procurement SOP. They even remember to tell people where they’re going! They don’t get any codec frequencies, though. Wealthy experiences a fear in her heart.…
-
053 – Apparently We Do Negotiate with Distillers
Aracyne meets with Nara, and tries to plea her case. Nara isn’t so easily moved, however, and will need some convincing. Meanwhile, the rest of the party has a perfectly pleasant time making new friends, training on their new gear, failing to understand business, and learning about the world around them. Wealthy takes a quick…
-
052 – Sedition
The party has gathered together, and we join them as they discuss overthrowing the government. They, of course, have no reservations and are ready to engage in the most radical acts and do anything necessary to achieve their goals. Definitely. We also narrowly avoid at least one conversation about accounting. That’s something, right? Totally anticapitalist…
-
051 – Montage 6: All Good Things Must End (After They Take Forever)
Our grand experiment in post-modern montage approaches its end. The party achieves some long-awaited goals and gains some new abilities. A sandwich atlatl is proposed. Most importantly, the Prophecy comes to pass. Grickx considers becoming a god. Wealthy bakes bread. Aracyne outlines the conditions under which she’d volunteer to be a practice target. Vons faces…
-
050 – Montage 5: There Wasn’t Supposed To Be Plot
It’s our 50th episode! Thanks for sticking with us, and we hope you keep on enjoying our show for a long time to come. 😀 We approach the end of our Bold Experiment in Montage That Transcends the Medium (BEMTTM). The party tries doing new things, like moving shop, engaging in this thing known as…
-
049 – Montage 4: Laying Foundations, Burning Bridges
Our prestige miniseries continues with the party pressing on in their training and putting down roots for further growth. There’s study sessions, horrible grandparents, a friend waking up from a borderline coma, and the blowing up of spots! It’s like Gilmore Girls by way of General Hospital! Aracyne finally makes it as an unpaid intern.…
-
048 – Montage 3: Getting Lucky
We wrap up week two of four of our montage! A speedy 3 episodes in! Aracyne syncs back up with the time stream, and everyone meets at a bar to catch up. And be mad at each other. Or just awkward. Friendships are complicated, okay? Aracyne violates the return policy. Grickx invests in R&D. Vons’s…
-
047 – Montage 2: Let’s Stop Searching for People, Huh?
(We recommend reading the title in Aracyne’s voice for maximum effect.) In the second episode of the montage (shush, you), the remaining party of Grickx, Wealthy, and Vons searches for Aracyne, who’s gone missing on them. Everyone brings their own approach to the task at hand. Some of them even work! Wealthy uses her hat-based…
-
046 – Aracyne Does A Hit
We cut away from the party’s montage to cover what Aracyne’s been up to. Turns out it’s not just partying! Instead there’s disguises, stakeouts, copious amounts of poison, and an assassination mission. Which goes completely smoothly and definitely doesn’t break Aracyne’s worldview. Totally. Aracyne spills a drink and gets a new cloak. The GM is…
-
045 – Montage 1: Expanding Horizons
We start our highly efficient 4-week montage where the party members train up, make connections, and improve their skills as part of leveling. And cover one whole week. It’s a slow-motion montage. Very high-concept, very avant garde. 100% intentional. >.>;;; Wealthy goes to office hours and meets a fellow researcher. Vons does the grossest thing…
-
044 – Stumbling Home
Everyone heads home, dirty and exhausted, after their rescue of Cog from the depths of the maintenance tunnels. The proper authorities are retroactively informed, loot is divided, some people pull off the transition back to daily life better than others, and we meet some delightful new characters on a date night. Vons is vulnerable to…

SA003 – Solstice Special 2021!
It’s our 2021 Solstice Special! Or whatever winter-ish holiday of your choice! This solstice we would like to formally invite you to attend a party at the home of Grickx and Wealthy. There will be dinner, drinks, the airing of grievances, white oliphant games, and general merrymaking! All you have to do is bring yourself.…

043 – Up the Down Ramp
(Special Announcement! Be sure to keep an eye out this Friday (12/24) for our holiday episode! There are SWEATERS.) With a pile of invisible monsters swarming towards them, and a new ally by their side, the party makes its escape from the underground facility. Will they make it out of the maintenance levels intact? More…

042 – Small Explosives, Big Consequences
The party’s secured Cog and starts looking for a way out. But that turns out to be a tall order, and as trouble besets them on every side things get buck wild. Aracyne wants up. Grickx proves himself to a certain someone. Wealthy hangs in there. Vons is surprised at the strength of his concoctions.…
-
041 – A Cog in the Machine
With Cog’s life hanging in the balance, the party executes their rescue operation. It leads to Cog’s life hanging in midair instead. It’s all going according to plan, right? And they tightened all those knots? Right? Guys? Grickx’s plans go up in smoke. Wealthy tries to pull off a rope trick. Vons sticks the landing.…
