Welcome to Astronomica, a science fiction OSR actual play podcast using the Stars Without Number RPG system. Join Star Master Stan and regular players Colin, Cullen, Geoff, and Kristen as they crew the definitely-not-piloted-by-a-rogue-AI ship The Admiral Grace. From encounters with magnificent space whales to battling intergalactic corporate scumbags, there is nothing this crew can't make way more complicated than it needs to be. Tag along every Wednesday and listen in as we learn that the true friends were the ones you decompressed and maybe accidentally spaced along the way.

After tying up the last few loose ends on the surface, Team Meatbag is ready to bring the fight to the Sultan. Hilde and Big Nikki have a quick word with the leader of the Mongoes while Mackie performs the vital service of keeping their transport on the ground. Anton offers Sergei a chance to live out his dream of playing R2D2 to Anton's Luke and the Grace gets all aflutter as Nolan Ryan P Jr. throws his programming around. It's time to round up the posse and f**k this ducock!
We'll be taking a break for the taint of the year (that would be the week between Christmas and New Years) and we wish you all a very merry holiday of your choice. Have fun, stay safe, and we'll see you on the other side!

Bridget is back and you're gonna be in trouble, hey ya hey yaaaa, Bridget's back! Did we mention that Bridget Sakamoto is back and she is suuuuuuuper not happy with Anton? Guess it's time for Team Meatbag to finish what they started low so many episodes ago and finally get these crazy kids to settle their differences. If you're looking for breathtaking romance, exciting combat, and one thousand and one thrills, chills, and automo...bills (okay, this description got away from us a little) then look no further than this week's episode of Astronomica!

It's our first anniversary y'all! As of this week, we've been doing this thing for one whole year and we are mighty excited to share that with you, our loyal listeners. In lieu of our usual vague rundown of this week's episode we'd like to give a great big massive hardy THANK YOU to everyone who has supported us over the course of this year. We've gone from a bunch of nerdy misanthropes to a bunch of nerdy misanthropes with a worldwide platform for all of our nonsensical fart jokes and thinly veiled political rants. We seriously could not do this without you. I hope you're proud of yourselves, you filthy animals.
Anywho, we've got an extra robust bit of opening shenanigans for you this week. We had a lot of fun trading stories but if you'd like to jump straight to the action you can skip ahead to the 30 minute mark. We hope you enjoy and thanks again for making this past year such an amazing journey!

This week the crew gets in some quality communication time. Anton raises concerns about playing "space savior" without the Mongoes go-ahead while Hilde flexes her authority in getting a shuttle pick up direct from the Silver City. Meanwhile, the Grace makes a credible threat to anyone unwise enough to attempt a hull breach and Mackie finds another extremely useful room in the downed aerostat station.

With Team Meatbag on the very precipice of getting the party back together, Stardaddy starts tossing curve balls left and right. The Grace is the first to spot a dangerous familiar face but nothing compares to the moment she finally gets Mackie back on coms. Big Nikki comes to a realization just in time for everyone else to gear up for a fight. Meanwhile, Anton reaps the unfortunate rewards of being the party member with the fewest trust issues.

With the team still split into their individual projects, Mackie finally remembers he's a scrounger by nature. Hilde gains a bit of insight into the origin of the mysterious Goonies and the team generally re-affirms their various goals. Meanwhile, Anton meets up with an unexpected acquaintance and gets some seriously bad news. Could this be the beginning of the end for our favorite fatalistic space Cajun?

We're back! We hope you all enjoyed last week's chance to really pause and think about life but it's high time we checked back in with Team Meatbag. While Anton deals with the fallout from Hopper's mistrust, Hilde comes to terms with an unexpected side effect of applied linguistics. Big Nikki proudly shows off their recent discovery only for Mackie to raise some troubling questions about the erstwhile baker's origins. It's a wet ass life when you think about it so buckle up and be sure you've got your towel for this week's installment of Astronomica!

Y'all, it's time to plan a coup! This week the team ties up some loose ends and starts looking to the station to fix this whole sultan controlling all the resources nonsense. Anton gets a final word with Bridget while Big Nikki calls into the kitchen to let their people know what's up. Everyone gets just a tad tiny bit toasted there for a minute before we snap back to our usual, uh, perfectly coherent selves. Hey, what are recording sessions during your one year anniversary for if not to get a little silly?
