Inspired Incompetence

Did...did we do it? The fort is done? Finally, the gang can start to truly get a foothold on this island, but there is still much to do. What about that cyclops settlement up north, or that watchtower, or any of the other fun-sounding things the gang knows about that they are yet to explore? Hopefully the tough part is over, now for the fun part, right? As always, please remember to subscribe, rat...

Why can't we just have one pleasant conversation with the ghost who sacrificed a bunch of people to fulfill his only desire in life? Everything has to turn into a fight. Also, what's Ivan been up to while the rest of the gang has been hanging out?  As always, please remember to subscribe, rate, and review us in your podcast distributor of choice.

Finally, the gang's main objective on the island (so far) has been achieved. They've retrieved the maguffin, and it only cost three people their ability to see and one person's corporeal body, but they did it. Now the question becomes: What to do with it?

It seems this cyclops settlement has a fascination with the stars, a fascination that is apparently shared by a number of ghosts. After fighting their way through this place and losing several crew members along the way, how much more does the gang have to go through to get this damned Dream Stone? It starts with this planetarium structure in front of them, but where does it end? As always, please...

As is tradition, we kick off this week's episode with Sharil being in trouble. After barreling ahead into an unexplored room, our short, but fat (if attractive) inquisitor finds himself in a very precarious position. Will it finally be time for Joe to create a new character? Sharil is his longest-lived one so far, so perhaps his time has finally come. As always, please remember to subscribe, rate,...

The surprises continue as the gang keep on pushing their way through this cursed island. This time the tricks come aboard their own ship as apparently someone masquerading as Captain De'Voth has been demanding a constant stream of raw fish for over a day. Who is this mysterious imposter? Will the gang even bother asking before they attempt to bash his head in? As always, please remember to subscri...

Well that was depressing. So far the gang has infiltrated two strongholds on this damned island and have paid the price with two characters lost. Will they have better luck going forward? Has the gang finally met its match among the Shackles islands? Maybe that haunted fort wasn't so bad after all...

The Captain is in trouble. Not exactly a rare situation, but this one seems even more dire than usual. Will he be able to luck his way out of it, or will the gang be on the search for a new Captain to helm their ship and hopefully maintain control of their new island?  As always, please remember to subscribe, rate, and review us in your podcast distributor of choice.

The gang has had enough of the haunted fort for a little while, it seems, though this island has no shortage of problems to be dealt with. This time around, it appears to be infested with a tribe of cyclopes, so now it's time to remove that thorn in the gang's side before it gets infected. At least, that's the idea anyway.

So that's what happened to the last guy who was given this island. The gang has finally run into what's left of Bikendi Otongu, the last captain to win the Regatta not known as the Master of Gales and person who has been missing ever since. Well there's a mystery solved, so now the gang can finish exploring this fortress and get to work on the rest of the island. As always, please remember to subs...

This haunted fort continues to be a challenge that the gang was entirely prepared for. All of these twists and turns and surprises were entirely accounted for and the gang definitely didn't just jump in without thinking things through at all. What could possibly go wrong here?

So maybe this island is more dangerous than the gang gave it credit for. With everything they've come across so far, nothing could prepare them properly for what they have faced and are yet to face in this place. Come see what new hazards await them!

As (perhaps) anticipated, this island isn't as empty as the gang had hoped. There was already a giant octopus guarding the bay, and we can only assume that is just the beginning of the gang's troubles on the Island of Empty Eyes. What other perils await them?

This week we take a short detour from our island-conquering escapades to bring you another rendition of our Sweet Side Action series.

The Regatta has been run, rivals have been stifled, and the gang got themselves a promotion! There's always got to be a catch though, so what's the condition to be set for this turn of good luck? Probably something dangerous, knowing how things have been going lately. Come find out as we delve into book 4!

The race is on! The enormous gathering of Free Captains all vying for a position on the Pirate Council of the Shackles.

This sunken ship is just chock full of surprises considering its current situation. Hopefully there's not much left to it, the gang really should be getting itself prepared for the Regatta, and this damn shipwreck is inconvenient as hell. Will it be worth it in the end?

The front half of the sunken ship provided some fun little nuggets, but ultimately did not contain the prize the gang seeks. Now for the back half, which comes not only with more danger, but a hazardous environment as well! Good times. Let's see what new terrors await in the deep in Episode 69 - Captain Domination!

Now that the gang has found the sunken ship they sought, and eliminated the competition quite handily, it's time to really delve down and figure out what made that ship so special. First, though, there's an issue with some sharks to be dealt with, but no one's ever died from a shark bite, right?

With the treasonous traitors finally dealt with, the gang finds themselves with some free time to prepare for the Shackles Regatta, a huge ship race held each year. A grateful pirate lord gave them a hot tip that a supernaturally maneuverable ship recently sunk, so the gang is hot on the trail. The ocean's only so big, right?

So just about everyone got away clean from the heist, except for the captain. His undercover job proved to be a bit too convenient for the treacherous owner of the establishment, so it appeared to be the right time to jump out the window (I mean, when isn't?). The golem that followed could be troublesome, however. Will De'Voth try to stand toe-to-toe with the golem, or will he bravely run away to...

The gang's favorite angst-ridden teenager got himself into trouble again, at the absolute best time: mid heist! Will Skram's bumbling mumbling get the gang caught in the middle of their mission, or will he be able to charm his way out of the situation? Ok, maybe not charm, but who knows what can happen? As always, please remember to subscribe, rate, and review us in your podcast distributor of cho...

True to form, orders given among the gang are...fluid. As such, the Hood finds himself face to face with an otherworldly creature with some odd questions.

The next time you hear a glorious episode of our Side Action it will be with the official 2nd Edition rules, so keep your eyes peeled for that.
