Team Meatbag
Astronomica
Welcome to Astronomica, a science fiction OSR actual play podcast using the Stars Without Number RPG system. Join Star Master Stan and regular players Colin, Cullen, Geoff, and Kristen as they crew the definitely-not-piloted-by-a-rogue-AI ship The Admiral Grace. From encounters with magnificent space whales to battling intergalactic corporate scumbags, there is nothing this crew can't make way more complicated than it needs to be. Tag along every Wednesday and listen in as we learn that the true friends were the ones you decompressed and maybe accidentally spaced along the way.

With a bumper crop of passengers and at least five new Menkaure fetch quests on the books, the crew of the Admiral Grace sets off for a whirlwind trip around the system.

And is it actually theft if the people whose property you confiscat...
Ep 74: Man Meat is for Closers 13.04.2022 1:10:37
They say no one wants to work these days* but the crew of the Grace is scrounging for every job they can get their collectively questionable little hands on. Not content with the next step along Scrip's quest line, the team heads back to the Skullpants' I Fucking Love this Place Bar and Grill to feel out a few more potential gigs. Anton and CB negotiate with the dubious help of too many...
Ep 73: The Pinky and the Pain 06.04.2022 1:09:57
This week wraps up the starter quest for Port Hughes with a bang. Well, not a literal bang, more like a big win for Mackie, a big ask from CB, and a big bit of morally questionable medical mayhem from Hopper. It's pretty gross, y'all, but at least no one sticks anything in their eye this time. If you enjoy the show, please follow us on your favorite platform for new episodes every Wednes...

And why exactly are poker chips still a thing in a fully digital monetary...
Ep 71: Thumbs are Trump 23.03.2022 1:03:48
With a new job in hand, Team Meatbag heads back to Skullpants Bar and Grill to snag Anton and figure out just how to get a thumb from a bunch a dudes running an underground card game without resorting to violence. Of course, the job was to get a pinkie but none of the players will realize that for at least a couple of episodes. Sure hope they don't somehow mess up their very first job in Port...
