In this character jam, we attempt to make characters for Ray Winninger's Underground. " It's like Platoon meets Dead Presidents meets Article 99 meets Captain America Civil War meets Jacob's Ladder." This is a long one, and there's lots of math, but it's a really good episode, and we hope you like it!

NOTE: This episode kicks off a major effort to clear out the editing backlog in the final weeks of 2020. The show notes on these are kept at a minimum until we clear out the log, which ends with the last of our new Mothership RPG Actual Play sessions.

In this new Character Jam, we make an awesome set of new heroes for the excellent Firefly RPG. Please give it a listen, and then check out the special bonus Part 2 episode on Patreon, where we later meet back up and create our ship!

Listen closely, dear Listener, to this deep cautionary tale of poor decisions and destroyed souls. The BDaB crew finally (!) delivers on its long-mentioned promise of guiding you through a taste sampler review of all the flavors of MD "Mad Dog" 2020 wine that we could acquire. Why would we inflict this torture upon ourselves? For comedy and science, of course. We drink the Mad Dog, so you don't have to. Don't know what Mad Dog is? Give us a listen and you will very quickly find out!

ALSO! With the return of everyone back to the studio once more, I'm officially declaring this episode to be the beginning of Season 5 of the Podcast. Yes, you are correct, there were only to date three seasons, at least as of the launch of this episode. This is because I didn't have the foresight to tag the last few months as Season 4: The COVID Stretch. I shall be retro-actively doing this shortly!

We're getting the Band back together! And by that I mean that the Bikers Dice and Bars crew is finally starting the long-needed process of reassembling our podcast crew to record in-person again. After months of remote recording woes, we now have added safety measures to our studio to enable us to once again meet face to face, and joyfully record like we used to in The Before Times. Hooray!

As such, this episode is all about the idea of "getting the band back together," be it an old drinking circle, an old gaming group, and even a podcast team. We tell some stories of the groups we would love to reconnect with from out pasts, and talk about ways in which doing so is actually made somewhat easier now that everyone is adapting to an always-online way of life.

Also, this just in: Dr. Xander is running for mayor of Portland 2020! Be sure to write him in on your ballots when you can;t figure out which of the other candidates suck the least.

In this episode we return to our "classic" three-part format, taking a look back at the better times of this otherwise awful Summer in the otherwise terrible year that has been 2020. In our first segment we talk about our favorite rides (or lack thereof) taken during this past Summer. In our second segment, we discuss the gaming and general nerdery we've accomplished while on COVID lockdown the past few months. And in our third segment, we look at how our drinking has changed, and the ways we have adapted to keep ourselves sane. Sanity is apparently a running theme these days, so y'all be sure to do your best to hold on as best you can!

Also, due to a recent "lost episode" the last couple of releases were misnumbered. I've corrected this one, so going forward the release numbers should again be properly aligned with the live stream archives on our Patreon page.

With Poppy and Xander absent, this time around JJ and NPC take a break from the normal format to record a fun bonus discussion with our good friend Alex Hakobian, developer of the Broadsword RPG. Our focus tonight is on the appeal and availability of "virtual tabletops" (VTTs) for playing RPGs online. We talk about the big fish in the VTT pond, as well as a number of additional offline and alternate options.

FINALLY! We've had a lot of tech difficulties in the last month, resulting in two "lost" episodes and a whole new approach to the entire way we record. Hopefully things are worked out, so for now, here's our latest new character jam! This time we try our hand at drunkenly making characters for Advanced Dungeons and Dragons 1st Edition. And spoilers: it does not go well, but it's still hilarious through to the end.

Xander couldn't join us at the last minute, so Jacob, poppy, and NPC decide to do a spontaneous recording about their appreciation of good wines. We share out various wine stories, tangents about our 21st birthdays, origins of our wine appreciation, what we've learned, and what we love the most.
