* Disclaimer - This is a pretty rough episode from a sound engineering standpoint. This was one of our first attempts to record an episode and we had some real problems. So if you are really interested please listen but don't judge us on this audio. It gets noticeably better by Episode 4 so if you want to skip this episode, we understand, but come back later to learn the origin of the bear claw.
Larry didn't like getting stuck on guard duty out in the insurgent compound’s courtyard. He didn't like the cold, the wind, and the snow. Larry was pretty sure he was going to freeze his ass off before his shift was over. Still, there was hope, because Larry had two very important things that were going to make this day alright: 1- A cup of piping hot coffee and 2- A fresh and delicious bear claw. Larry held up the bear claw ready to take that wondrous first bite of fresh pastry that would make him forget about his shitty luck...and then the Player Characters showed up.

The AARPG Podcast - 81: SDST Baking the Law EP07 -Just Desserts
play

02/23/23 • 102 min

Sex, Drugs, and Saving Throws is an adults only actual-play podcast filled with graphic violence, bad language, bizarre sex stuff, and copious drug use set in a heavy metal homebrew fantasy world using the Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition rules.
Set six months after the events of the first chapter of this story "Endless Harvest", Baking the Law finds the Mithril Maidens back together again, down on their luck and trying to get back into the music scene. The main difference is that now they have a manager, Orin Killroy, who won the honor of being the band' front man by losing in a game of cards.
The Mithril Maidens return to the parade ground triumphant but soon come face to face with the brutal side of Obscondia's "Gooder Laws". One band member will speak truth to power, save a soul, and earn a powerful ally, and enemy. But the dark world of Sex, Drugs, and Saving Throws in unkind to heroes and does not often reward their deeds. Oh, yeah, and like the first 20 minutes of the episode is just the whole group trying to desperately get Gromarsh high again.
So squeeze yourself into the tightest leather armor in the realm and tune your scrying set to the next episode of Baking the Law!
Your Tour Manager and GM for Sex, Drugs and Saving Throws is Matt.
The rest of the cast is:
Malcolm, as Orin Killroy, a half-elven cleric and newly named manager of the Mithril Maidens.
Nathan, as Echoes of Banter, an Eladrin elven monk and lead bagpiper of the band.
Sean, as Huilgrim of the Lost Shire, a Halfling barbarian and lead lutist.
Tyr, as Raine Northshine - a Fey rogue/arcane fighter and lead bass lutist.
Chris, as Zulja Azeya - a Half-orc bard and drummer.
and... Cupo, as Gromarsh - a Half-orc bard and lead singer and front man of the band.
Original Artwork for Sex, Drugs, and Saving Throws as done by Simmone Tammeta or also known as Old Raging Barbarian.
Music and Sounds provided by Dark Fantasy Studios, Sound Q, as well as original sound effect made by our very own Nathan.

Podcast Q&A

Why did you start this show?

We're 'another pandemic podcast'. When the pandemic hit and we were stuck at home, for the first time in decades, we actually had time to put together a weekly game. Most of us have been playing TTRPGs together for decades and it was a really great way to make the best of a bad situation. Matt came up with the idea to record it, and I (Nathan) jumped at the chance to flex my atrophied ear muscles and start experimenting with audio engineering after a 25 year hiatus.

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

If they have 1/10th of the fun that we have making the show then we've succeeded.

Which episode should someone start with?

Probably Session 1 of Always Cloudy in Kalisz, our Twilight 2000 game. We launched all of the Alien episodes at once when we launched the podcast. They were never meant to be aired, but we had so much fun, we thought we'd share them. The audio suuucks for the firs 3 episodes. We have a ton of great TTRPG Interviews to choose from, but I can't pick a favorite.

Which have been your favourite episodes so far?

Hmmmm

Which episode are you most proud of?

Probably Episode 10 of twilight 2000: "Jumping the Shark" (Nathan) It got pretty emotional and intense but it was super funny also. Matt probably has a different favorite

What is your vision for your show?

Uuuuhhhhhh.

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

I think we all love Pink Fohawk. They are just too damn good. I'm a big fan of the Rolled Standard & Nerd Poker. I like games where the players really have deep bonds. it really shows through in how they play and interact.

How did you come up with the name for your podcast?

I think my spouse had recently gotten an application for AARP...and it just came to me.

Tell us a bit about yourself

There are at least 8 of us: Nathan - Host, Editor, GM, Player Matt - Producer, Host, GM, Player Chris - GM, Player Tyr - GM, Player Malcolm - GM, Player Tony - Player Sean - Player Tim - Player
