If you love the Penumbra, check out a new podcast from our friends at the Fable & Folly network. Broken Road follows a veteran struggling with obsolete military implants who teams up with a defiant farmer and her daughter against a corrupt lawman. It’s a story of ingenuity in the face of corporate greed, exploring what it means to be human, the need for personal connection, and the strength of community in the face of insurmountable forces.

Broken Road, Episode 1: Some Chips You Don’t Cash In 


Summary: Emmett, a veteran with failing military-issued “enhancements,” finds himself stranded in an inhospitable town.

Sir Galahad the Great is a popular man in what remains of Silvershore.

5.19: Juno Steel and the Terrible Waste (Part 2)

Out in the furthest reaches of the Milky Way float piles of things best left forgotten: trash, refuse, the runoff and leftovers of a society that wants too much and produces too much. What better place, then, to put an impossible dream: that dead bodies, what we leave behind when we eventually exit life, might start to walk and talk and love again? The Dokana group has chosen one of these trashteroids as their place to dream this dream. But be careful: it doesn't take much for a dream to become a nightmare.
