The gang's all here! Well, all but one. After being scattered across the galaxy, The Bastards finally reunite on the dusty Backwater planet of Daius to prepare for a Cleo rescue- wherever she may be. They meet up with some of Cleo’s old crew, obey to hear their tales about mysterious black nanobots and a BioLife capture! Between Boris's newfound assertiveness, Trevor's questionable ship repairs, and Ze's Ze-ness, the Bastards must team up with Cleo's other best friends- the charming Bortis and Fron- to organize a junkyard full of "good stuff" into a rescue mission. It’s the Bastards against the world once again. The gang is coming Cleo, just hold on.

Hi Backwater Bastards listeners! This week, we're bringing you an episode of another show we think you'll love: Sagas of Sundry: Goblin Mode!!

Sagas of Sundry: Goblin Mode is the latest actual play narrative fantasy series from Geek & Sundry in partnership with Realm. Using the popular TTRPG Dungeons & Dragons, Goblin Mode tells an ever-evolving improvised story full of magic, monsters, and mayhem. 

Goblin Mode is not your traditional fantasy story. These aren’t the mighty warriors who would be called to a tavern by a mysterious stranger. Rather, these characters would be mere crossbow fodder for a group of actual intrepid heroes.

Lead by storyteller Amy Vorpahl and cast members Jason Nguyen, Danielle Radford, and Dan Casey, Goblin Mode tells the tale of a trio of hapless minions – a goblin and two skeletons – toiling their days away in the service of an evil necromancer. 

When a band of treasure-hungry “heroes” attack the dungeon they once called home, these poor unfortunate souls wind up trapped in a pit. By the time the dust settles, everyone they knew is dead, their old lives are gone, and their home is under new management. Will they seek vengeance? Will they realize there’s more to life than the Cave Allegory they lived in? Will they become the hope the world needs to stop its impending doom? Find out for yourself with the very first episode of Goblin Mode.

Sagas of Sundry: Goblin Mode is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and wherever fine podcasts are served.

The Bastards are taking a brief hiatus so that they can experiment, play, and recover from the tornado that was 2024. 

In the meantime, they will be hosting game nights in the Discord, pausing the Patreon for a month, and then releasing some hot, fresh SideArms. (Don't forget that you can speedbinge them on the 7 day free trial!) 

Our heroes will be BACK and ready for action in 2025, with a plan to get the whole gang back together... Or die trying.
