Dice Punks

Production Notes: Des was sick during this recording, and so did not attempt his normal Byrne-voice, but listeners are invited to imagine it in place of his basso profundo for this episode. Adam is also experimenting with some new editing/production approaches this time, so please let us know what you think of those in this one. (Adam apologizes if more of his verbal tics slipped through this process than usual!)

For a few days, the Frontispiece Four do their day-jobs, look into a variety of matters, and learn more about themselves, each other, and Grand Cross's society. While visitors to the Frontispiece arrive and prepare to arrive, one thing becomes clear: "the baby" can't stay there indefinitely...

As the poet once said... "The Bad Touch" by Bloodhound Gang.

"Augment or Die" is by Emerson Boatwright and Drew Messinger-Micheals.

Welcome to the after-show, patrons and other listeners alike! Since we're releasing this one-shot to make up for not having the 1 Feb Borrowed Light episode we were supposed to have... Still, we hope you enjoy listening to us continue being quite silly!

We bring you this one-shot from the meat-locker to cover for issues getting the next Borrowed Light out on time... or at all...

Some of the audio has been massaged, but still isn't easy to hear -- fortunately, because the game this time is no-top-to-be-over math-em-up TEN MILLION HP PLANET, so lots of what there is to hear is the most exciting thing of all: MATH!

As the poet once said... "Welcome to the End" by Riff Kitten.

TEN MILLION HP PLANET is by Liam Ginty, JN Butler, and Dee Pennyway.

In this episode, Adam struggles to fit in time to edit well, and ends up getting it posted almost an hour late, with no guarantees that he didn't miss anything! Oh, and also, the Frontispiece get a feline temp-worker, conduct a stake-out, and unleash a mumble-teen into a workplace...

Drew GMs another ~Halloween Special~ in Paweł Kicman's Kill Your Necromancer, a game in the Mörk Borg system by Pelle Nilsson! Listen to hear about a cadre of unwilling undead trying to return to their eternal rest in a dying world by killing the evil git who raised them from the grave!

We acquired Kill Your Necromancer from a bundle supporting The DOTS Project, which aims to make TTRPGs more accessibility friendly -- in fact, some of the dice Drew was using this episode were Nemeth Braille dice that were 3D-printed from schematics The DOTS Project provides!

As the poet once said... "Emerging" by The Mountain Goats.

Drew also referred early on to this impressive jazzy number!

"Midnight March for Haunted Things" is by Drew Blood and Robin Graves.

Preparations, mechanical and narrative, are made for the VRuTech mission: Cal dines in various places with various people, Cato learns their way around a firearm, Byrne begrudgingly tolerates a guest at the Frontispiece, and Ing meets a character the gang reacts strongly to...
