Espersito: Dungeons and Dragons (In Space)

As the ‘plan’ unravels, the gloves come off, and Hudd must quickly go from pacifist to pyromaniac as the crew enters combat with their captors.
Join us as Aaron provides sage advice on drawing, Reebook engages in some testicular shattering crits, Hudd nuts a soldier senseless, and Dumas gets digitally fisted, and we get ready to rumble in… Espersito!

Welcome to our Esper Genesis podcast, telling the brand spanking new story of an unlikely group of galactic nobodies caught up in something far bigger than they expected. Listen as their tale unfolds and they find new and exciting ways of making the games master despair. This truly is D&D in spaaaaaaaaaaace.

After a helpful recap for Tom that confirms we did not visit an arboretum, our band of have-a-go heroes find themselves trying to negotiate a very physical barrier between them and their goal to save the admiral.
Plans are panned, disguises are donned, we find new reasons to fear escalators, and figure out the differences between a Xamaron plant Korchev, and Korchev from a Xamaron planet, in the next tackle from Espersito!

Despite a surprisingly successful and almost non-violent infiltration, the crew must secure the control deck, and find a way to the bridge and save the admiral.

Jon plans for the eventuality we get into a fight on the command deck, knowing full well it's a certainty, Hudd breaks and enters a quartermasters to grab a very compliant hostage, and Aaron is too wasted to carry on so we bang on about about Star Trek based cocktails for a bit (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bP8uL9fjH8&ab_channel=HowToDrink for anyone interested).

The jig is up as Dora finds herself on the receiving end of a rather unforgiving security system.
Dumas gets salty as Hudd breaks the sacred agreement of the turn order, Dora makes a brain smoothie in an attempt to deliver non-lethal damage, and Rebook struggles with the moral dilemma (and potential mess) involved in killing a man with “discharge bullets”.
Come along for the ride as we discuss the most diplomatic form of violence, and get sidetracked by such accessible topics as taking crack in Zurich, European Capitals of Culture, and Britpop, in our next trip down the lanes of Espersito!

What is your major malfunction, Dora?
Having somehow successfully infiltrated the capital ship of the infinity corps, our motley crew face the very real challenge of trying to pass as a well oiled, competent, and highly disciplined military outfit. 
Naturally this draws us to sweep for computer porn, watch the ten minute epic that is Space Nuns, and find out what a ‘jeb end’ is in the next tale from Espersito!

Breach breach breach! Space turbulence and techie bullying abound as the team breaks into the São Paulo.
One surprisingly successful space jump later, the party must overcome the nefarious GM’s puzzle that is an airlock, feebly attempt to subdue a door repairman, and take the next step in their ill thought out rescue / kidnap attempt.
Doors are budged, pranks are played, Mike reliably rolls 1s, and old friends are found in the next tome from the vaults of Espersito!
Normal hijinks aside, the cast of Espersito would like to dedicate this episode to Brian Dalrymple, Co-Founder, Art Director, and Graphics Designer at Alligator Alley Entertainment, who sadly passed away on 17th March.
Our thoughts go out to your friends and family. A massive thank you from the bottom of all our hearts for all your hard work in producing this amazing piece of media that has brought this silly little group hundreds of hours of entertainment.
There is currently a fundraiser set up to help cover Brian’s final expenses. If anyone would like to donate, the page can be found here:

The party prepare to yeet themselves into the cold void of space to kidnap an admiral; it’s a plan that might just be stupid enough to work…
Jon hurts himself physically doing Pax’s voice again, whilst Pax hurts himself mentally dealing with newfound existential dread, and we discuss the boxed war crimes that are Space Apples.
Prepare yourselves for more bad plans, terrible velocity based maps maths, and genuinely interesting facts about space suit air content, and come along as we think so far outside the box, we might just end up on a different planet, in the next episode of… Espersito!

Even with a blank cheque on the table, the players still find time to question the Esper Genesis pricing structures, whilst simultaneously breaking the economy.
As the GM struggles with both the effects of spilling beer on his keyboard, and offering the party unlimited funds to spend in a military quartermaster’s (these events may be related); Dumas tries to figure out what’s in the mystery bag; Hudd buys ALL the grenades; and we make terrible torpedo plans, whilst engaging in some classic rule lawyering (please don’t ‘ackshually’ our maths).
What could possibly go wrong? Experience the thrill of a sense of impending doom in the latest instalment of... Espiersito!

A familiar face from the history of The Silrayne Arc and The Silver Screen comes forward through the medium of video call, with new information for the crew of The Golden Rose, as they plot their next steps to save The Galactic Core.
Our nominal heroes meet with Dora’s mysterious underground contact - ‘Filiais Flim Flam’ who reveals his true identity, and provides important reiteration of plot points for the benefit of the audience, the characters, and the alcohol riddled brains of our players. 
Was Dora’s time as a cam girl well spent? Does Sprexit mean Sprexit? And just how far is Dumas willing to do to meet his goals? Guess you’ll have to listen to this episode of Espersito to find out, or something. If you want to. You don’t have to. But please do.

The crew meet with scientists to discover more about the threats they face. Could it be Mesopotamian Mind Control Squids of Unenda? Or something even more sinister…?
Amid terrible revelations about the fate of Dr Rich and Beltrov, Dumas discusses a traditional dwarven hero's welcome, Dora finds out what the scientist is drinking (and if it is piss), and we hear more of Hudd's troubled past. Yo home, to the next edition of Espersito!
