So that thing happened. But don't worry, Team Meatbag isn't out of the game just yet! With two potential new ships drifting somewhere in the outer regions of the system, the crew gets to work figuring out which one will be their new home.

You ever have one of those days that are really bad but at least you know why it's bad and you have kind of a plan to fix it? And then it turns out that you actually had NO IDEA HOW BAD IT WAS AND THAT "FIXING IT" IS A LONG DISTANT PIPE DREAM FOR A PAST SELF UNENCUMBERED BY YOUR CURRENT UNDERSTANDING?! About that...

Later, a chilling discovery sends the party to splitsville for what is sure to be merely a minor inconvenience and definitely not an entirely new catastrophe.

You may have heard we got a bit of winter weather a couple weeks ago which means our dear Stardaddy had to do some catch up at the ol' day job. While he was out contributing to society, the rest of us got together to plot a revolution against his tyrannical ways. This week we crack open Revolt! by Jason Price (gifted to us by Brian over at Spirits and Monsters of Old Seattle). This DM-less ta...

This week the camera shifts its focus to another crew. A crew of individuals  cast adrift in the brutal Kavacha system, no doubt stranded by some grave catastrophe. Their only goal is survival, their only hope is to find enough resources on an abandoned fueling platform to prolong their sorry lives. Also, they're probably cannibals. Cast List Stardaddy: Stan Sir Fingers Biggly: Geoff PepsiCo...

Team Meatbag discovers a potentially operable fuel station and with it a place to dock the Irish Goodbye for repairs. Unfortunately, it's already inhabited and they don't seem like friendlies.

Mackie, Hilde, and Auggie continue their voyage of discovery through the pre-tech prison. An interesting revelation about Warden Blackwell raises questions for the team.
