Espersito: Dungeons and Dragons (In Space)

Breach breach breach! Space turbulence and techie bullying abound as the team breaks into the São Paulo. One surprisingly successful space jump later, the party must overcome the nefarious GM’s puzzle that is an airlock, feebly attempt to subdue a door repairman, and take the next step in their ill thought out rescue / kidnap attempt. Doors are budged, pranks are played, Mike reliably rolls 1s, an...

The party prepare to yeet themselves into the cold void of space to kidnap an admiral; it’s a plan that might just be stupid enough to work… Jon hurts himself physically doing Pax’s voice again, whilst Pax hurts himself mentally dealing with newfound existential dread, and we discuss the boxed war crimes that are Space Apples. Prepare yourselves for more bad plans, terrible velocity based maps mat...

Even with a blank cheque on the table, the players still find time to question the Esper Genesis pricing structures, whilst simultaneously breaking the economy. As the GM struggles with both the effects of spilling beer on his keyboard, and offering the party unlimited funds to spend in a military quartermaster’s (these events may be related); Dumas tries to figure out what’s in the mystery bag; H...

A familiar face from the history of The Silrayne Arc and The Silver Screen comes forward through the medium of video call, with new information for the crew of The Golden Rose, as they plot their next steps to save The Galactic Core. Our nominal heroes meet with Dora’s mysterious underground contact - ‘Filiais Flim Flam’ who reveals his true identity, and provides important reiteration of plot poi...

The crew meet with scientists to discover more about the threats they face. Could it be Mesopotamian Mind Control Squids of Unenda? Or something even more sinister…? Amid terrible revelations about the fate of Dr Rich and Beltrov, Dumas discusses a traditional dwarven hero's welcome, Dora finds out what the scientist is drinking (and if it is piss), and we hear more of Hudd's troubled past. Yo hom...

Part 32 - Pax Dramatica Further intrigue, and a familiar face on the Conclave flag ship; Daedalus. Having escaped the horrors of diplomacy, our adventures find themselves out of the frying plan, and into the other side of the iron curtain allegory (I’m bad at idioms, what do you want from me?). As the players kick off with an in depth discussion about the etymology of loving God, we discuss even d...

Happy 2021 everyone! Boy, if that doesn’t sound futuristic! It’s a shame it’s been one of those dystopian futures so far, but hey ho; here’s hoping this year gingerly steps over the exceptionally low bar set by 2020. The rift traversed, and back in realspace, our misfit bunch of miscreants make their way back to the Infinity Core for a far frostier reception than they might have hoped for. As new...

Free from a Xamaron hive in chaos, our intrepid crew find themselves traversing the rift, and encounter a very unique salvage prospect. Join us as we level up, deal with exciting IT interface compatibility issues, and get lost in a word of confusing similes. Just what are the odds of rolling 100 on a d100? Find out in the exciting world of Espersito! Welcome to our Esper Genesis podcast, telling t...

One act of regicide ticked off the bucket list, the party make their escape towards the planet surface. Bruised, battered, and made physically ill by some questionable cuisine choices, the crew of the Rose must make their way back towards their ship and their salvation, as a recent change in government means that anarchy reigns the Xamaron hive. As the players risk the ire of Disney’s legal team w...

These wasps have ruined our picnic for the last time… As Hudd ensures that the negotiations were short, the crew of the Golden Rose find themselves face to face with the Xamaron head honcho in a FAXE fueled fight for their lives. Hold onto your butts as we discuss the repressed condition, finally use the precious adamantine bullets, and get needlessly irritated at the WOTC online dice roller in th...

Having stocked up on some interesting goodies, the team comes across an opulent chamber at the centre of an ugly planet. Join us as we use the DM as a straw man to confront God’s machinations, we attempt to gain a sponsorship deal from a brand of super-strength Danish lager, discuss how Aaron is a naughty boy’s name, and even manage to be rude in character! What horrors will the Xamaron CSI team d...

The crew face malignant wasps, and discover some potentially helpful gear as they delve deeper into the heart of hive. Dumas’ actions from the previous session are taken to kangaroo court, the team waste precious time discussing how to get down a hole (forgetting they have drones capable of flight), and disturbing revelations come to light regarding the nature of Dumas’ infiltration suit (and just...

After infiltrating the Xamaron hive, the crew face their greatest challenge yet: a long, girthy, cylindrical shaft. Join us as the party (and particularly their allies) have their day ruined by wasp-people and the unfortunate application of firepower; we bite the hand that feeds by pedantically over-analysing descriptions in the core manual; and Dumas - with his hatred for group stealth checks - f...

A planet hostile to life... Having thoroughly killed Desire, our team makes planetfall to test their skills (specifically Athletics), and explore a pest control expert’s nightmare in search of a mysterious power source. Prepare yourselves for the excitement of traps, pitfalls, and planetary surveys, in the next installment of Espersito! Welcome to our Esper Genesis podcast, telling the brand spank...

SHARK ATTACK! Just when they thought it was safe to go back into the uncaring void of space, our intrepid crew find themselves up against a foe that defies logic and the statistical chances of landing a hit.  Witness the wonders of rift space, accountant based stealth drives, and disturbing dreams, as we get jawesome with another fintastic episode of Espersito! Welcome to our Esper Genesis podcast...

Having successfully secured a nav-computer, the gang must dogfight their way off-world, and into a rift. Whilst the players try to figure out the logistics of man to goose combat, join their characters as they engage in daring acrobatic feats to try and counter a wing of angry wasp-people… in spacecraft! Take the highway to the DANGER ZONE, as Aaron rolls a suspicious number of natural 20s (and Mi...

The team head on a mission to Mars to obtain an important navigation device. With a ship upgraded and a new lead on the next step to halting a galactic invasion revealed, our crew set space-sail for the Sol system, and the red planet where Dora and Jimmo have historically engaged in some blue activities. Join us as we speculate on the whereabouts of beloved Season 1 characters, listen to our Mille...

 Out of the diplomatic frying pan, into the cold war fryer. The crews of The Golden Rose and the HMS Dendus Ship (WIP) head to the core to try and make new allies (with an intriguing season one cameo) in their quest to save a homeworld… and the galaxy at large.  Prepare to be baffled by Dumas’ lack of understanding of electronic messaging (and Dora’s HR report-worthy abuse of emoticons), raise que...

With an attempt at vengeance foiled, the crew settle down for a hearty (or rather a heart-disease-y) breakfast and a day of politics. Jimmo’s culinary skills are put to the test as he serves up his speciality of BLTs (without the L, the T, or the bread - so just the B, really)*. As the Dwarves surely continue to question their selection of representatives, our not-quite-heroes talk politics with t...

Having spoken with representatives of the Dendus as belligerently as might be expected, the crew attempt to both instigate and avoid another diplomatic incident, their real life counterparts speak of some minor treason, and hell hath no fury like a Promethean scorned. The cast would like to apologise to our Irish and Welsh listeners for any offensively bad accents used, and to everyone else for th...

Prisoner management and politics collide in another exciting instalment of Espersito! With control of The Rose wrest from the villainous hands of Rickard Thorn (and returned to the marginally less nefarious hands of Dora), our protagonists make for the Dendus’ homeworld, and greater understanding of the insectoid menace. Join us as we try to offend Todd, desperately attempt to create a diplomatic...

Swashbuckling shenanigans ensue as the crew battle to take a ship back from murderous pirates… so they can give it back to another murderous pirate. The Heroes of Unenda have narrowly escaped a debris field, and now find themselves face to face with Dora’s old crew. Mounting a questionably organised boarding action, our team must overcome suggestive dimmer switches, suffocating Matokai, and improm...

We're a consistently irreverent podcast, but some things really do matter. Though we're just a bunch of idiots playing D&D (in space) and sticking the recordings on the internet for 'entertainment' purposes, this is something we all feel strongly about. In response to recent events, we'd like to release a brief message of support and solidarity. An episode will be uploaded as usual next week....

The crew stock up and fly out on a (poorly kept) secret mission. In the latest episode of Espersito, the GM wastes a beautiful voice on a one-off character during a shopping spree, Dumas attempts questionable crafting techniques to produce some special ammunition, and Dora meets an old friend with incredibly thematic naming conventions. Join us as we discuss Zork, spread the good word of Universal...

Dumas, Hud, Dora, and Rebook return to the Dwarven flotilla as somewhat unlikely heroes. Having saved more lives than they could ever have imagined, our crew of adventurers must now embark on an even more dangerous mission, with even more at stake. Celebrations are thrown, candidates for medals are snubbed, shady dealings go down, and a meteoric (and probably ill-advised) promotion is awarded!  Pl...
