- Secrets of Heart & Steel - Chapter 0: Heroes
The scholars say that a few months ago, we started a sick-ass D&D campaign. Now we mortals recap all the cool shit we did. Join us as DM Ceres asks Theia, Neriad and Copernicus about their perspectives on the story so far, and adds some tidbits of his own. This episode we introduce our heroes and the places they hail from.
Checkout the art we made for our campaign here!

Until next week, we’ll catch you out there, amongst the stars!
1 hr 15 min - Dog Welder Cometh
Riddle me this - can you spot an impostor when you see one? Can you tell apart your Sky High's from your Snowflames? How about your Mini Banes and your Neo Jokers? Theia has looked up a whole roster of obscure DC characters and cooked up his own zany creations to match. Now Ceres, Polaris and Ganymede need to try to guess which is which. How many can you get?
Like this? You may like the guessing game we did with Marvel characters.

59 min - Cutscene Simulator - An RPG Horror Story
Do you ever feel like you're not making a difference? Do you ever feel trapped by the whims of fate? No this is not a scammy infomercial, but boy do I have a tale of woe for you. Today we bravely venture into the tomb or r/rpghorrostories, and give our two cents on a DM who squanders the best players in the worst way.

1 hr 21 min - A Gorram Good Show
Ah! Run! Ceres is in control of the remote and he’s making us do a series on television that might actually be good! The theme? Old Sci-Fi. How old? Not that old. Well it depends on who you ask. Anyway this week it’s Firefly. Join us as we (re)-discover an old gem of a TV show and use our shiny new patent pending Watch or BotchTM framework to rate it. It’s a great time.
