Five episodes!  Five!  Who's been running this ship?  Is the captain dead at the wheel?  Nobody knows!  I know, I guess, since I'm the guy who is responsible for the web presence to accompany the podcast.  Obviously I've bee a bit slacking, what have we been up to though?  I suspect many of you automatically subscribe to the show, so you're really not waiting on these posts to go and get your episodes, but still, it's nice to have if for nothing other than posterity.  Let's start with the first of the bunch:

Episode 61:  We finally conclude the Mass Effect story arc using the Rogue Space rules!

Episode 62:  We make characters for a new, mid-week Pathfinder Fantasy RPG!

Episode 63:  We throw those freshly made Pathfinder characters into Rise of the Runelords!

Episode 64:  SHEER MADNESS!  In addition to Pathfinder we start a new Dark heresy campaign!

Episode 65:  More Pathfinder campaign hijinks in the Rise of the Runelords adventure path!

Wow!  As you can see, we've been busy, and that's just what's been dropped to the feed.  We also have an episode #66 ready to go in the can that will be even more Pathfinder goodness.  Hopefully I'm back on track now and when it goes live I'll be here to give it its own post like we should be doing.  Until then, rock on!

Tonight's episode marks the conclusion of this particular story arc of the acolytes' recent investigation. After tying up some loose ends, namely the recent assassination attempt in the gardens, and deepening their understanding of who the possessed servitor represents, the party finally tracks down the location of their ultimate quarry. Having lost their Arbites officer, and with one of their psykers recovering from a shattered leg, they are shorthanded, but time is short, and they have to go with what they've got.


The party cruises through the Caloric Debris Fields...

We're not finished with Dark Heresy for good, but we will definitely be switching gears for a little while, give Duck Sauce a bit of a GM break, and give Mouseguard a test drive for a little while. It's been a good run, and I think everyone agrees that DH was a blast to play. People are pretty attached to their character as well, so we definitely don't want to abandon them for good. It's very possible that the Ascension expansion will be out by the next time we hit Dirtside with our acolytes, so they may be getting the ultimate field promotion!

Technically this session of Dark Heresy is session number five. Last time, on the same night we recorded the 3:16 one-shot, we also recorded episode number four...or so we thought. Just when we thought we had worked out all the newbie kinks, we go and end up not recording show at all! The little red light was on, we thought we hit record, oh well. It was a fun game, the only consolation for you is that session number four was a tad brief.

The adventure continues with tonight's game as our acolytes further investigate the trail of heretical weapons on the pleasure world of Quaddis. Following an assassination attempt on their lives, the agents are bordering on paranoia and the tension builds. With their nobility cover status solidified, they make contact with the government official whose name has come up in their inquiries, and who has the channels to move large quantities of the illegal goods. They proceed from their with an offer of help from an unlikely source.


"Pull OVER, official Arbites business!"

We are now up to five total podcasts. In this last episode we continue with actual play of our Dark Heresy campaign, the Animus Hereticus. This is our third session of Dark Heresy while recording. Being close to the holidays we had many players not present, but we still ventured ahead and continued where the last episode left off. After a brief jaunt through the immaterium, our cargo hauler arrives at the pleasure planet of Quaddis. We have our contact name and a loose plan of what to do once on the ground...

In our fourth podcast (episode three) we follow hot on the heels of the previous session just two days prior. The game picks up right in the middle of a large firefight with baronial forces as the acolytes try to get to their shuttle and get off world. The hosts share many hearty laughs to book end the actual play portion of the episode.
