Aliens come to earth and stand there looking about like a car mechanic Aliens: Well, there's yer problem, yer billionaire class is all outta whack, gots too much power and it's messing up the rest of yer planets systems... yer gonna need a whole planet revolution just to get em back under control

Time for a new arc and that means a brand new motivation to be professional and have standards and norms and civility and definitely not run any cons or accidental revolutions or double crosses. Just kidding! We're totally gonna keep doing all those things, obvs #scifi #actualplay #swn #podcast

Our new episode is up. Little different this week as the movie we intended to cover was less available than we had hoped. Instead it's an extended intro and @countxer0.bsky.social angrily reviews the new Mark Wahlberg film Play Dirty. open.spotify.com/episode/7rdE...

This episode has everything: pink Easter bunny suits, egg drop soup, airbrushed slogan tshirts, plus a giant orgy of cannibalism and violence. Uh, spoilers. So if you want to be our Lucky Star, just Open Your Heart, Justify Your Love, and Turn Up the Radio! #podcast #swn #scifi #actualplay

I feel like we are honor bound to share this, what with the blue-furred social justice of it all

It's Wednesday, which means its time to let a couple of dorks ramble into your ear about cyberpunk stuff, you lucky dog. This week we finish up our recap of Blade Runner 2049 and we continue to be joined by @seanfaustmusic.bsky.social. open.spotify.com/episode/6mxI...

Team Meatbag just bagged themselves a "dragon" so we thought why not give them a lil rest for a few weeks while we check in with Space Patrol? PS: Brutus (aka Colin) refused to speak into his coms "like a peasant" for a lil while there so his voice might sound *slightly* different. #swn #actualplay

We survived 100 Episodes, so we deserve a little treat. That little treat is the 2 3/4 hour slow, gloomy, and gorgeous Blade Runner 2049. And who else could help us celebrate 100 but a guy who has been there since nearly the beginning, @seanfaustmusic.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/0H96...

Check out the stunning conclusion of our "dragon" hunt! Plus Mackie is back and ready to help out the team with some critical fix checkin' from afar. #scifi #actualplay #swn #podcast

So tell me if you've heard this one before: the players find a mysterious box and, despite their concerns, contemplate opening it and potentially destroying the universe. Or just, like, getting a headache or whatever. #podcast #swn #actualplay #scifi #whatsinthebox

At one point in this episode, Stardaddy shouts "I know what you hoped!" so that should tell you how well this whole brain surgery thing goes. #scifi #podcast #actualplay #swn #oops

My team is hiring again! We've got two jobs posted: EXPERT and SENIOR writer. In our org chart, Expert is a click above Senior and focused on craft. Senior owns big parts of the game and could eventually be promoted to a direction- or craft-focused role. lnkd.in/gpYpu3QZ lnkd.in/gppUzFmj

Okay so question: If you've got a centuries old bit of transmission code burrowing into your brain, would you get rid of it or keep it around and see what happens? Asking for a friend #swn #ttrpg #actualplay #podcast #scifi

Some people think plot hook episodes are boring, but we say if you skip 'em, how will you know what's going on? You gonna rely on the recaps like a chump? (Also, def don't skip this one, the ending is a stroke of genius) #actualplay #scifi #swn #podcast #cliffhanger

In which we conclude our most recent experiment in exploration of the heretofore unknown space within limited receptacles (...opening boxes...) before heading off to a brand new system with definitely no potential repercussions from said recent experiment. #scifi #actualplay #swn #podcast

What's in the boooooooox?! (PS: We should not have opened the box) #scifi #podcast #oops #actualplay #swn

Fresh off the success of completing the first ever Depew Double Dip, Team Meatbag heads to Zulta for another quick job. If you can guess just exactly how they'll mess this one up, we'll give you a cookie and/or congratulate you on a pre-recorded intro! #podcast #swn #scifi #actualplay

TODAY IS THE DAY: THE TTRPG SUPER-STREAM RETURNS! A super-sized actual play double feature, including: - Mutant City Blues by @pelgranepress.bsky.social - A City of Shining Stars by @ehronlime.bsky.social Raising money for Advocates for Trans Equality! Twitch.tv/gmjeffstormer June 30, 12pm EST

I just finished this dope time loop arc of the Stars Without Number podcast Astronomica, and I was like, “I’m so impressed, have I seen an actual play attempt a time loop before?” …I am literally listening to TAZ’s Eleventh Hour interchanged with this. Oops all time loops???

This week we answer important questions like how do you smuggle a bunch of hivemind husks out of a crime scene and what should we do with all this Prawnjaeger juice? #scifi #actualplay #podcast #swn

Last week we bid farewell to Cole, this week we send Yazid off in style. Or at least in a shiny new ship that used to be a crime scene and doesn't have an engine. Oops. #podcast #actualplay #scifi #ttrpg #swn

We kick off with an extra long intro to soak up the very last bit of Cole banter we can get before they leave us for new adventures. But wait: two departures for the price of one! The away team takes a devastating loss in their fight against the hivemind. #ttrpg #swn #scifi #actualplay #podcast

leftists: that thing you teach us in school to be terrified of is happening historians: that thing is definitely happening star wars: here is a beat-for-beat breakdown of how the thing happens, but with pew pew lasers. we know you watched it news outlets: these protesters are out of control

If you've ever wanted to hear Kristen chat about the one YA series she *does* like, now's your chance!

In which we announce the departure of a beloved guest and then said guest leads a team of NPCs in the quest to create a spinoff (part 1!) #scifi #ttrpg #swn #podcast #actualplay

This week we recap the frequently requested Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix. We went in blind on this one with pretty low expectations and I think it's safe to say were pleasantly surprised. open.spotify.com/episode/6ePt...

When you need someone to lead a daring mission aboard a hostile ship with the possibility of complete, explosive annihilation, who you gonna call? Hit play to find out! #ttrpg #podcast #actualplay #scifi #swn

That thing where you've got one guy on the phone and everyone else is telling him what to say but also if he does it wrong you might start a laser beam fight in space. #podcast #actualplay #scifi #ttrpg

!!!! Excited noises !!!! This is one of the best scifi movies of all time and if you haven't seen it you need to treat yourself. Absolute classic.

Y'all ready for a classic Astronomica-style heist plan? #ttrpg #scifi #swn #podcast #actualplay

Pluto Nash is boring, soulless, and almost entirely without joy. Our recap of Pluto Nash is fresh, enthusiastic, and dare I say: life changing? I don't want to oversell it but you will be different after you listen... better. Uh oh I think I oversold it. open.spotify.com/episode/0uvm...

This week we finish up our pitstop on Argo with at least one concerning revelation #podcast #scifi #swn #ttrpg #actualplay

This week we wrap up All Tomorrow's Parties. It's a long one, but it turns out books have a lot of stuff in them. Can't thank @planxconstant.bsky.social enough for giving up so much of his time to help us break this book down and bid adieu to the Bridge. open.spotify.com/episode/39b1...

With a title like that, you know there are about to be shenanigans #ttrpg #podcast #scifi #swn

Aw shit, look who made a visit to our fav cyber punk show? Get you a double helping this week of Geoff aka Hopper aka the dude Stardaddy asks all the science questions

With an epic journey to save the galaxy, nay the *Universe*, in their not too distant future, Team Meatbag gets down to business clearing their first hurdle: raise enough credits to make sure the Irish Goodbye can keep flying. #actualplay #swn #podcast #ttrpg

Y'all, they did Total Recall this week. Heavy. Breathing.

Very excited to return to Hilde's "home" planet and get our nerd on! #ttrpg #podcast #actualplay #scifi

Y'all, this movie was excellent and I can't wait to dig in on this week's HTLL

Don't forget, Astronomica day is also High Tech Low Life day

We've got something super extra special for you this week and next! Last year we recorded a one shot with attendees of our annual Astronomicon and, since we're between arcs, we thought it was high time you got to hear their adventure. Enjoy! #ttrpg #actualplay #podcast #swn #scifi

I mean, personally I enjoyed the gritty reboot for the Rockem Sockem Robots but hey, any day with new High Tech Low Life is a good day #cyberpunk #podcast #bigfans

Time to tie up some loose ends, discuss next steps, and hit the dance floor for some good old fashioned boy band warfare! #ttrpg #swn #actualplay #podcast #scifi

Get you some back to back @stardaddy.bsky.social today with our best buds over at @hightechlowlife.bsky.social <3

Look, I know we talk about worms a lot - some would say too much - but you've gotta see these things. Or, you know, hear about them. Also, we highlight one of the very useful Stars Without Number supplements written specifically for building bases and settlements. #swn #actualplay #podcast #scifi
