Burnt Cook Book Party is a time-loop comedy actual play show, featuring an original campaign based on Pathfinder. Four heroes of varying skills, attractiveness, and stupidity, race to prevent a war - and to prevent a timeloop from resetting the whole game! Featuring the talents of host Jenna Stoeber, game master Justin Green, Caitlin Stayduhar, Andrew Hansen, and Paul Luetkemeyer. Sound edited by Akshay Balakrishnan, and the delightful end stinger was made by Akshay too. Produced by Jenna Stoeber.

Ep. 87 - The Anti-Astra Alliance
Let the trial begin! The team do their best to argue against B's incredible lawyering skills, which means mostly supressing the few good things Astra has ever done and highlighting all the terrible things. They've got a lot to work with and yet somehow B is able to make Astra look like a competent, kind, reliable person!
