Ep 61: Happy Coup Years! 05.01.2022

The Mongos are revolting! The Mongos are revolting! As Anton strafes the Floating Palace, Mackie rushes to patch up the Grace.

We've gone from a bunch of...

Ep 53: Portents in Pink 27.10.2021

Hilde gains a bit of insight into the origin of the mysterious Goonies and the team generally re-affirms their various goals.

Ep 52: Wet Ass Life 20.10.2021

We're back! We hope you all enjoyed last week's chance to really pause and think about life but it's high time we checked back in with Team Meatbag.

Oops, All Pauses 13.10.2021

Hey, y'all, we done goofed up this week so we're doing something a little different (and by different I mean apologizing for not having an episode). But have no fear!

Send us a message through this weird thing that...

Ep 51: Always Be Never Splitting the Party 06.10.2021

This week Team Meatbag continues their brave stance on splitting the party (AKA why not make Stardaddy prep for two entirely different games at once?). Anton hops from a murder mystery to a disaster movie as he and his NPCs attempt to return a tanker full of gas to the Mongoes. Meanwhile, Mackie and Hilde roll some skill checks and Big Nikki makes an amazing discovery. Guest starring Katrina Colem...

Ep 50: Splitting Up is Hard To Do 29.09.2021

What's the one cardinal rule of role playing games? That's right, this week we're ignoring everything we know about RPG survival and splitting the party. While Anton lives out his action hero dreams on a solo-ish mission back to the Mongos, the rest of the crew hangs out at the Silver City. Big Nikki and Mackie get up to some adorable shenanigans and Hilde and Hopper wax philosophic...
