I'm sorry, the gang found a what? And it was left there by what? And it wants them to go where? The gang can't be dumb enough to actually follow instructions like this, right? ....right?

Damn, these actors know how to throw actual punches! Who knew? Either way, these performers are turning out to be a bit tougher than originally thought, so now it seems like it's time for the gang to stop pulling punches too.  As always, please remember to subscribe, rate, and review us in your podcast distributor of choice.

Stage fighting is typically defined as a way to perform combat for a crowd in a way that is both convincing and entertaining. The gang does not have that training. They're just going to have to beat on these performers for real and hope for the best then. As always, please remember to subscribe, rate, and review us in your podcast distributor of choice.

It seems another pirate lord has a favor to ask of the gang. That seems to be the most prominent form of currency in the Shackles other than...you know...currency. What task could the lord of Hell Harbor be setting on the gang this week? As always, please remember to subscribe, rate, and review us in your podcast distributor of choice.

It's amazing who you get to meet when you become a high roller. All of a sudden, everyone wants a meeting, and this time around it's the head of one of the Shackles largest cities. Does he have a bone to pick with the gang? Or maybe a task he needs their assistance with? Perhaps both? Let's find out what this devilish man wants, shall we?

The gang is still trying to deal with some pesky water-logged zombies now that they've finally found the information they seek.

After a stunning move with the gang avoiding not one, but two potential combat situations, this island is turning out to not be as deadly as advertised. Things can quickly change though, especially when this particular band of pirates are involved, as it appears despite their efforts, they are still no closer to the information they seek. What other deadly secrets could this island contain? Let's...

Holy crap, we've been doing this for 100 episodes already?! In a crazy turn this time around, the gang has discovered some corpses washed up on a beach that are not what they seem. Are they ever really what they seem, though? As always, please remember to subscribe, rate, and review us in your podcast distributor of choice.

The gang's first meeting of the Pirate Council is in the books, and they seem to have come away from it with a promising new lead on some information that might help them on their continuing quest to eliminate Barnabus Harrigan. Now the trick becomes: will they be able to follow up on that lead before anyone else does, or will it slip through their fingers like so much wet sand. As always, please...

The time has come to dive into Book 5 of Skull & Shackles. The gang has overcome a lot to get this far, but finally, they join the ranks of the Pirate Council. The realities of leadership are never as glamorous as they seem from the outside, though, so what new hurdles await the gang as they embark on this new phase of their adventure? As always, please remember to subscribe, rate, and review us i...

With book 4 completed, we're taking a little break this week to bring you another rendition of our Sweet Side Action series.

With the expected interruption to the pirate party, now the gang finds themselves defending their new home from invaders from the sea, and they have an attentive audience to boot! It seems like it's time for the gang to flex their combat muscle as they attempt to put on a show for their guests in this thrilling finale to Skull & Shackles' Book 4!

The party is finally upon us! With the arrival of the auditors from the Pirate Council, now comes the time for the gang to woo their prospective equals with food, booze, and entertainment in the hopes of gaining their approval to join their ranks. What hoops will the auditors make the gang jump through before giving their stamp of approval? Is there anything left on this damned island to throw a w...

Another great victory for the gang as preparations are underway for their upcoming party. It seems like now is the time for simple reconstruction projects and other miscellanea, but if we've learned anything by now, it's this: This gods-forsaken island will never be done with the gang.

This feels weird. No one is on the brink of death, no one has any prevailing detrimental conditions (unless you count puberty), the island seems to be reined in, and the gang is off doing what they do best: piracy! This is a rather refreshing change of pace, but we all know it can't quite be that easy, so what is going to go wrong this time? Let's find out, shall we? As always, please remember to...

Just when the gang was starting to feel safe on their island, they just had to go out and explore one more time. At least no one died this time (for long), but now there's a couple of gigantic crustaceans and a few thousand of their closest friends harassing the gang. Don't they get it? This isn't their island anymore. It seems the gang will have to show them the hard way. As always, please rememb...

Huh. It turns out there is a cure for insanity, after all. Who knew? Either way, it's time for the gang to finish the job they were given. It's time to make sure the newly minted Sharksbane Island is fully cleared of threats and time to get prepared to host some very important guests.

What's a little brush with death among crewmembers eh? Everyone's just fine now...physically, at least. It seems that brush with death has left a couple members of the gang with a slight case of insanity, so now they're all off to port to find someone who can take care of this little snafu. What price will the gang have to pay for this treatment though, and will it be worth it?  As always, please...

We're taking another little diversion this week from the gang's island-conquering adventures to delve back into Pathfinder 2nd Edition and the maze-like dungeon the gang finds themselves in.

So it looks like our resident boy wizard got himself into a bit of a pickle. As one of only two original crew members remaining, could this finally be the end of this wizard's journey?

For once, things are looking up for the gang. The island has apparently been cleared of all of its major threats and inhabitants, so now begins the cleanup. As some of the crew gets to work making the fort presentable, the gang heads out to investigate a few other points of interest around the island to make sure there aren't any other nasty surprises waiting for them or their guests around every...

After a long day of clearing fortifications, the gang just wanted to spend some time, just one night, relaxing in their newly acquired property. But no, that's not something they get to do, at least not yet. First, they have to bail out their subordinates who got in over their heads and are doing their best to drag the gang down with them. As always, please remember to subscribe, rate, and review...

The gang is done with whatever it's been that haunted this island, at least so it seems. They have finally started setting up their base of operations and have cleared out the biggest threats to their continued existence, they hope. There still remains a reported watchtower on the west end of the island that needs to be examined, as well as plenty of other places they have yet to explore, but for...
