Codswallop and Poppycock

Geeks at Play episodes are our special actual-play productions. In this adventure contestants from all over the cosmos conceal their alien traits and compete in the Miss Universe pageant. Their goal is to blend in, strut their stuff, show their skills, and be crowned as Earth’s prettiest human. Too bad they skimped on their research. Will they blow their cover, or can they fool the audience into believing that they are really one of us? Joining us for an out of this world wacky one-shot are our friends from the Min/Max podcast, Allen Mowers, Ashley Mowers, and Kyle Stainbrook!

Geeks at Play episodes are our special actual-play productions. In this adventure, NutriCorp, a food-producing Mega-glomeration, has put out a call for independent contractors for a one-night job. The task is to clean up a few small* health violations so the plant can get back up and running in the morning. NutriCorp committed to sustainable** and ethical*** food production for a better, yummier future.

It’s an easy one-night job. What could possibly go wrong? Joining the crew for this zany, family-friendly adventure is a trio Ryan Felton of City on a Hill Gaming, Geek at Arm’s own Bryan, and newcomer AJ Clayborne. 

Images are scant for this Roll For Shoes adventure. Paying artists for these scenes is beyond our budget, and asking an AI to depict a carrot-stretching machine was pretty horrific.

*The health violations are actually pretty significant. I mean… DEEPLY concerning.

**NutriCorp defines sustainable as “for as long as we can keep it up.”

***No ethicists have survived reviewing NutriCorp’s standards and practices.

Geeks at Play is a special actual play episode of the Geek at Arms podcast. Three guests, Grant Woodward, Peter Martin, and Jenny Dickson join cohost Mike for a wildly wacky Roll For Shoes one-off. Our intrepid adventurers play three guerilla filmmakers incensed at the news of a Disney reboot of Firefly, and decide to take matters into their own hands. They are going to beat Disney to the punch and reboot Firefly the only way it should have ever been done… with Muppets! To accomplish their mission, they break into Jim Henson Studios, only to discover that they are not alone.
