Bikers, Dice, and Bars Podcast

(This episode is from a Fall 2021 batch that got left behind due to life getting in the way of editing. Now we're back on track, so these are coming out as a bundle, first to our awesome Patrons!) Xander and Jacob regale us with a handful of their more lascivious and ridiculous bartending stories. This is our first foray into this topic, and they've got plenty more where those came from, so if you...

We're back with another Character Jam! This time we're doing another DCC spin-off, and it's a glorious one: Blackout in Crater Valley! It's a game about feeding a bunch of 1980s teenagers to a Halloween Nightmare, and it's a perfect new addition to what might hopefully become a long tradition of running DCC games on the spookiest night of the year. Give us a listen and laugh along at all of the aw...

In this episode we talk (and argue) about pizza. Apparently some guys from some place or something wrote some ridiculously expensive snobbish books about the best pizza in the country, and apparently they say Portland wins. As if! Anyway, if you want to listen to us argue about pizza and lament the loss of one of the best places in town, this one's for you. Drop us a line! You can follow us on Twi...

Now that vaccinations are plentiful and a lot of the mask and closure mandates are lifting, folks are heading out in droves to go back to their favorite bars - should they still exist, of course.

Fortunately, our resident "best-dressed man you'll ever hear" bartender Dr. Xande...

Welcome back friends and listeners! This time we're talking about the hot topic of "lane splitting" on motorcycles. There is currently a new bill in the Oregon Senate pushing to make it legal here, so it's a good idea to take some time and define what exactly it means, should it pass. With this episode we're kicking off an experiment in format adjustment, with the hope of getting our feed stocked...

This is the third and final session of our original Mothership RPG actual play series, which was unfortunately cut short by the COVID-19 quarantine. I'm happy to say that this one really brings the awesome (and the comedy!), and I'd very much like to return to this campaign in the near future. As an additional note, I had a lot of fun editing this session. I fiddled a bit with adding more sound ef...

We're back for the second session of our extended Mothership RPG actual play campaign, recorded here in the studio in the Pre-COVID days of early 2020. We continue where we left off in the last session, getting into deadly shenanigans on the doomed Serendipity Station. Each of these sessions is also accompanied by some exclusive extra bonus content, released on Patreon and also to our tipping list...

Welcome back, dear listeners! This episode kicks off a new series of actual play featuring the excellent indie sci-fi horror RPG, Mothership. These sessions were initially recorded at the very beginning of 2020, but due to the chaos from the onset of the COVID-19 quarantine in the US, NPC was unable to get around to editing them until the end of the year. I don't want to spoil the surprises of the...

This is another part of the big "2020 Close-out!" backlog rush, and as such the notes here are at a minimum. In this character jam, we attempt to make characters for Ray Winninger's Underground. " It's like Platoon meets Dead Presidents meets Article 99 meets Captain America Civil War meets Jacob's Ladder." This is a long one, and there's lots of math, but it's a really good episode, and we hope y...

NOTE: This episode kicks off a major effort to clear out the editing backlog in the final weeks of 2020. The show notes on these are kept at a minimum until we clear out the log, which ends with the last of our new Mothership RPG Actual Play sessions. In this new Character Jam, we make an awesome set of new heroes for the excellent Firefly RPG. Please give it a listen, and then check out the speci...

Listen closely, dear Listener, to this deep cautionary tale of poor decisions and destroyed souls. The BDaB crew finally (!) delivers on its long-mentioned promise of guiding you through a taste sampler review of all the flavors of MD "Mad Dog" 2020 wine that we could acquire. Why would we inflict this torture upon ourselves? For comedy and science, of course. We drink the Mad Dog, so you don't ha...
