The Resurrectionists are back from the dead in a big way: one extra-long episode featuring a score so exciting we could only stand to do it all in one go! We left our antiheroes with a cliffhanger: their sewer-travelling rivals, the Capillariat, have finally declared open war after a long history of violent exchanges! With the gang's gambling den overrun, they'll have to mount a counterattack quic...

In this episode... oooh, I don't want to spoil it! But rest assured you'll see some fierce cyborg wrestling rivalries, romance with varying degrees of requital, surprise arrivals galore, and one huge celebrity cameo! So don't delay, act now, supplies are running out...

After last episode's little ultraviolent intermission, it's time to step back and get a feel for who these underground cyborg wrestlers REALLY are. For example, did you know that Krunk the Barbarian is more comfortable in graphic tees than armor made out of car tires? Or that Wage Slave has a real estate business? Or that Clout Strife's real name is... Clout Strife? And what about all those other...

In the futuristic dystopia of 1999, while the masses are placated by the spectacle of professional wrestling, there exists a turbulent underground of freelance operatives who break the law and risk their necks in search of fortune. Tonight, a fresh team of these "runners" will take on the forces of... well, professional wrestling. It's Saturn running a variant of our favorite one-stat system, and...

Alright chummers, flick on your holo-vids (or, if you're a Premium subscriber, wink your left eye to activate your implanted display) for the latest episode of Underground Cyborg Wrestling! We've got a flashbang show for you tonight, because some of our best talent--Wage Slave, Fashbasher, Krunk the Barbarian, and Clout Strife--are in the squared circle, and almost all of them have bad blood with...

We're going back to the future in more ways than one! The year is 1999, and our technologically-advanced society is plagued by injustice and corruption. The masses need a distraction from their lives of corporate-mandated drudgery... and there's no better solution than watching a bunch of beefed-up caricatures pretend to hurt each other! With Levi guiding the way, Owen, Saturn, Snapper, and Fern w...

Our first adventure in a galaxy far, far away comes to a head in the shadowy slave-pits of Hell, where our heroes are closer than ever to freeing themselves... and to being captured by the Baron's security! Everyone will need to contribute their unique skills--Manwe Ba's smooth salesmanship, Jaci's flashy heroism, and Jay's brutal cunning--to come out ahead!

Having ditched their tour guide and made contact with other would-be escapees, our rough-and-tumble heroes are out to break the literal grip that Hell has on its people and, more importantly, our heroes' ship. Can they make their way to Transit without drawing undue attention to themselves? Of course not, but hopefully they can still get what they're after. Jaci does some drifting, Jay runs into a...

Our ragtag band of space explorers have discovered a highly developed, prosperous world with extremely welcoming inhabitants, but something feels a little off... could it be that there's something BAD about the planet Hell? Well, no matter what secrets this big red tourist trap holds, we'll unearth them and find some way to turn it all into profit.

Our adventure in a wild corner of a galaxy far, far away begins! As dozens of ships gather in search of untold treasures, will the Darter and its ragtag crew of outlaws be able to pull ahead? They will if all these funky multicolored dice come up with the right weird symbols. Join Jay Faytonni, Jaci Argona, and Manwe Ba as they're thrown directly into some high-stakes space action!

Today we're dipping our toes into an esoteric little property known as "Star Wars." It's this whole sci-fi setting with aliens and robots but there's actually some fantasy elements if you dig into the lore. It might not have the most mainstream popularity, but we like to bring niche projects like this into the spotlight now and then. Star Wars: Edge of the Empire is published by Fantasy Flight Gam...

Last episode ended with our brave monster-hunters stuffing their half-dead quarry in the trunk of their car and taking off before the cops arrived. Now, all they have to do is figure out where it took its teenage victim and how to free them. Will this fairy tale have a happy ending, or is it one of those dark ones? It's all in the hands of this ragtag gang and their esoteric arsenal!

Things really kick off in this session. Oh, it starts tame enough with clandestine pocket-watch communication, a decorative horseshoe heist, and first aid through dark magic, but then things get weird. Inhuman music gets in your head, innocent bystanders are threatened (but not by the monster), and a whole lot of ass gets kicked. In a fight between an unearthly abductor and four mismatched vigilan...

Alright gang, it's time to solve a mystery! A teenager has gone missing in upstate New York, and their neighbor says that a strange flying light is to blame. Is this the work of extraterrestrials, or something even stranger? In order to properly hunt this monster (or monsters), our heroes will have to intimidate a newspaper reporter, bluff their way past a stern mother, roll dice (in and out of ch...

It's time to gear up and investigate a new system: Monster of the Week! It's a PbtA game about modern-day slayers and the abominations they fight, and Levi, Pixie, Snapper, and Jonix are ready to whip up some colorful characters, What unique monster-fighting skills will they bring to the table, how will their dark pasts complicate the mission, and which (if not all) of them are related to each oth...

The situation at Pigsmoke comes to a head when the newest professor's ambitious-but-amoral plan begins to draw his peers in. When the chips are down, who will take the route that's best for their careers and who will try to just be a decent human being? It's a clash of teaching styles backed up by big egos and magical power, so you won't want to miss it!

Less of an episode than an announcement: we just turned three years old, and this time I didn't commemorate it with a terrible baby voice! It's time to look back at our accomplishments, and forward at a future of warring feudal states. Don't worry, I'll explain everything.

This is an episode about people in compromising situations digging themselves even deeper for the sake of advancing their goals... Admittedly, a LOT of our episodes are about that, but this one has a real laser-focused theme. Divino looks to recruit the Chosen One himself, despite the kid's suspicions. Corvina actually musters up some effort and does some research. Simone buddies up to the people...

This new term at Pigsmoke seems to come with an extra helping of intrigue, especially now that Liam (played by Levi) has rejoined the party just in time to get tangled up in the Mindbending Department's latest scandal-in-the-making. Can he avoid reprisal from the Dean's office AND revenge from his colleagues? Meanwhile, Divino seems to be having some popularity issues, and Simone and Corvina wind...

Pigsmoke College is back in session, and the professors are just as excited to be back as their students. The Dean has recruited a mysterious figure--played by Jonix!--to join its hand-picked mentors of Chad Blackwood, the Chosen One. Is this downright villainous-looking necromancer one of those evil professors we keep hearing about, or just kind of creepy and sad? Can Simone keep bluffing her stu...

Our ragtag magicians have finally found their goblin... or, more accurately, he has found them and taunted them as a disembodied voice, ushering them towards a "guessing game" that seems a little more dangerous than Twenty Questions. Will Gin's carefree spirit and skeleton butler carry him above danger? Will Batu survive against the very "true magic" he's been looking for? Will Agnes's swamp-witch...

As Echo traverses the ruined city, climbing ever higher and encountering ever stranger products of wild magic, the changes they have undergone become more apparent. What will they be by the time they reach their goal? What IS their goal? And what will they have for lunch at the food court? Content Warning: Some body horror.

We're back at it with... well, technically, this is from before we left Bleak Spirit to begin with. But now you can listen to the system played with a new crew--Owen, Sara, Pixie, and Jonix--in an entirely new setting where a world much like our own has been warped by the emergence of untamed magic. What will the helmed wanderer Echo encounter as they progress through the ruined city, and what wil...

We're jumping right into yet another Kickstarter campaign tie-in, this time with What We Were by Freddie Taylor Bell! It's a setting-agnostic system that focuses on personalized character arcs, and Jonix is using it to showcase his unique fantasy world! Three young mages (an apprentice-turned-trapper, a noble-turned-necromancer, and a barmaid-turned-witch) try to find a place in a world where peop...

Nicks's journey reaches its thrilling climax and chilling conclusion! As he ventures deeper into the abbey in search of treasure, he will find more and more hints at the horrific events that led to its abandonment and the terrifying truths of its current state... and we'll find out just how truly roguish he is. Content Warning for some brief gore and desecration of corpses.
