It doesn’t take The Bastards long to get back into the fray. After putting together a tentative plan with D.E.E.T.Z. and the revolutionaries they are headed back into cultist lands. All that’s left is to make sure the mushrooms are protected and everybody knows their mark. Because our heroes are going in guns blazing!

S2E17: Margo Blue Eyes

Backwater Bastards

play

12/24/21 • 108 min

Back in the future, our heroes grapple with a...reluctant client. Who is this person? And why is Cleo pretending to be someone else in front of her? Somehow the Bastards land the job, but the details aren’t coming nearly as fast as the revelations. There’s a familiarity about this job, though.. A feeling that everything is about to change.

Cleo and The Caps saw the secret in the bowels of the factory and have been on the loose ever since. They survived the walls, the charges, and even their own poor disguises. Somehow they’ve got to free their people from the factory’s fate and figure out how to get back up to the surface... With the take, of course. And each other.

Posing as eager future employees, Cleo and The Caps gain entry to the factory. They stow their old gear, pull on their new jumpsuits, and feel their first hot water showers. They head further and further underground - still unsure what the job is, but keeping an eye peeled for the take to end all takes... The wonders of the factory are so strange that they nearly forget the one truth of the Bringening... That no good take comes easy.

Cleo deCap is just another dirt farmer on Daius. And so is Bortis, and Fron- and everybody else they know. Thing is, Cleo has bigger dreams than just farming dirt. The Bringening is coming up, and the whole dang town and then some will be turning up to see it. This is the year that she's going to score a take bigger than Margot Blue Eyes McCracken- or anybody! Cause there's a shiny new factory down the way- and Margot thinks it's full of Ursine slavers.. But Cleo knows it's full of TAKES.

Some say bad things come in threes, but who’s keeping count? The Caps are back in the laboratory, trying their best to salvage the remnants of their gang. There’s an evacuation order in place, and the whole joint is clearing out. Will Cleo and the crew make it to the surface? Will the take make it to the Bringening? ...Will they?

S2E11: Back in the hole

Backwater Bastards

play

09/30/21 • 99 min

Did somebody call for a hole expert?

The galaxy's favorite hole experts are BACK in MidSpace and looking for a new place to stash their ship. Can't just leave it under Princess Zhu Zhu's nose! Jump on board and scout for real estate as our crew makes their way (downtown) through the sectors of MidSpace that they never got to see before, and then some! (..And don't forget to think some "green thoughts" while you're at it. You'll thank us later.)

Podcast Q&A

Why did you start this show?

Because we're best friends! Good ol' Dan (Or Dr. Ze to some of you folx) grew up playing DnD with DM DICK DYNAMITE, and he was like hold on WAIT- I think we can record this?? And so circa 2018, we fired this thing up and we are NEVER STOPPING. We've grown so much as people making this thing, we're creating a game system to fit us better- We love doing this, we love meeting new people through it, and dangit- I don't know where we're going but WE ARE GOING THERE IN A SPACESHIP.

What do you hope listeners gain from listening to your show?

We hope you feel like you're with us when you listen. Because you are! We think about you when we make this beast, and we love to talk to you at cons and in our big loud Discord. You are our biggest inspo. Our show is about best friends just trying to make it. If you can feel the friendship through yer headphones, then that's the dream achieved. (Also Dan edits the heck outta this thing, so he would probably be jazzed if you liked the sound design too. Haha.)

Which episode should someone start with?

We learn a ton in season 1 (accidental rhyme), so we recommend starting with season 2 to get THE REAL FLAVOR. Does that mean you should skip it forever? HECK NAH! It's like prequel treats! BUT, if you want a quick taste without the commitment (I GET it!), we've got some shorties in there like LORE DIVES (about the world and system we're building), or S2E12 featuring Adal Rifai from Hello From the Magic Tavern!

What is your vision for your show?

This is our baby, and we want to do it forever! Backwater Bastards has no end date. Don't be scared off by the backlog! We are bingeable, baby! It's dangerous out there- so take our giant story!

What is your favourite other podcast that isn't yours?

OH BOY, we have so many. We are big fans of Rude Tales of Magic, Dark Dice, Tales from the Magic Tavern, Goblets and Gays, Dear Joan and Jericha, and only about a billion and a half more!
