Backwater Bastards: An Actual Play Podcast
03/23/23 • 60 min
The crew finally knows the full truth about Boris. ...And they’re keepin’ him ANYWAY! But the fight ain’t over yet. They’ve got to get home and make a plan. The Bastards owe D.E.E.T.Z. and Zhu Zhu a visit about the future of Midspace- and maybe a little warning about the interstellar crap-storm that’s on the way. It sure ain’t the first time there’s been trouble. And if these unlikely allies can see eye to eye, it won’t have to be the last either.

S1E00: Pilot Episode
Backwater Bastards: An Actual Play Podcast
04/08/20 • 97 min
Ursine demolitions expert Cleo DeCap and the Robotic/aquatic Doctor Ze are in search of an easy payout on the hulking space station, Midspace. Located in the center of this galaxy, Midspace station is lawless, corrupt, dangerous, and... A great place to make a buck! It’s here that our Bastards dwell, in search of a big score...
The Bastards are BACK, and officially in orbit! We know you’ve all had enough of being gravity-bound- so we’re kicking this joint for a new star system. Join the same motley crew for new stories, new characters, a brand new universe, and all-new game mechanics designed by our very own DM Dragon Daddy Dick Dynamite. So buckle your EVA suits to yer control decks- cause a bear and a jellyfish just landed in the station and this PILOT is taking you on a RIIIIIDE!

This week sit down with our Bastards to watch the Midspace famous show "Bobby got space 4 U!"

YEAH WE DID! And it's real short, so come on in here and get you some daytime TV nostalgia with a side of family drama and slick Dan-style editing!)

HECK! The crew has just barely made it past The Shattered Wall- and they find themselves in immediate danger.
They must now provide tribute to their new honored friends, or face the void of space alone. Well, surely The Bastards- extreme lovers of treats, merchandise and birthdays- can accomplish this feat.. Right?

Boris is Boritheleon Hasilfilliams III, son of the biggest arms dealer in the galaxy. He’s a known genius, and a key cog in the terrible machine of his father’s plans.

Daddy’s home, a world ending weapon is on the loose, and there’s a whole lot of explaining to do about how exactly he got caught up in all of this.

S2E13: Cleo Day Part 1 - Wet Food
Backwater Bastards: An Actual Play Podcast
10/28/21 • 115 min
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.

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!

Backwater Bastards is the chaotic Narrative & Actual Play podcast of your dreams. A best friend story between a human turned bear fried food enthusiast and a collection obsessed jellyfish doctor. Also they play their own system called Orbital Refuse and that is wildly refreshing for those who love actual play but want to break away from the big names in the space.
