February 22, 2025 Jarren’s Outpost: EE #5 The Vault
Against all odds the plan has worked. Perri, Piss, and Leo have made their way into Eaton's keep and up to the vault. Leo attempts to convince Perriwinkle of his allegiance to the cause, Perri makes some hard decisions when it comes to fighting shadow people and Piss eats a bunch of pickled eggs. He is also locked in Damien Eaton's vault against his will and stripped of his clothes and possessions and left to die.

February 15, 2025 Jarren’s Outpost: EE #4 O'Rourke's Eleven
The plan is simple: convince every single faction that seeks the weapon to attack the keep at once and amidst the chaos sneak into Damien Eaton's stronghold and secure the weapon for themselves. Perri, Leo and Piss have given themselves six hours to make it happen. Piss encounters his bookie and nearly dies, Leo loses a beloved friend, and Perri puts together the greatest team the world has ever seen. Everything is going according to plan.

January 31, 2025 Jarren's Development Blog #1 - What the hell is it?
We've been tooling away at this board game for a long time and we thought it might be smart to actually tell you about it! Over the next 14 weeks join Zammit and Jackson as they look back at all the creative and technical decisions that went in to making the Jarren's Outpost Board Game. With this episode we figured we'd give you a broad overview of what the hell this game even is, the history of how it came to be and some of the trials and tribulations that we went through on the way. Make sure you follow the kickstarter to be notified when we launch and check out the Jarren's Outpost website, we will be updating that fairly regularly (baby depending).

January 25, 2025 Jarren's Outpost: EE #1 For Love For Life For Me
The city of Jarren's Outpost is in turmoil. Militias roam the streets, militant religious forces lay siege to the cities spiritual soul and from the shadows the halfling criminal families emerge to seek control. The fate of the city hinges on the acquisition of a weapon of great power, and the acquisition of the weapon hinges on the fates of the former captain of the guard, a greaseboy, and one of the cities greatest lowlifes. Welcome back to Jarren's Outpost.

So have a listen to where we’re going with the story, what’s coming up next as well as some listener questions.
