Ghosts on a Train episodes

  • Ep. 54 - Rejecting Despair

    Content Warning, Drugging and Racism (~38:00-44:00)- Lord Strangford attempts to get an employeed of the Pride fired by drugging them and accusing them of being an alcoholic, playing to a racial stereotype.

    Two gunshot sounds from ~25:40-25:46.

    For many Scoundrels, death is the end of the Line. But with a benefactor like Lord Strangford, Crowl has been able to continue doing as he pleases for 20 years since his demise. The destruction of the McKeel's has grown beyond a job for his patron, and is now Crowl's current obsession. Pip gets a grip on his past. Drix sees through a lie. Andrel gets a talking to.

    After the main show, the Line Bulls receive a shady advertisement that unfortunately wins them over. You can leave similar messages, questions, or suggestions for the train to the email [email protected]. The Line Bulls will respond!

  • Ep. 53 - Futile Hopes

    Content Warning, Real Drug Mention (~27:05-27:37)- There is an out of character mention of Narcan, the real medicine that can save the life of someone suffering an opioid overdose as well as Speed, slang for a real drug.

    With centuries of life behind lightning barriers, one may wonder how the Deathlands continues to be so treacherous. How does the outside replenish itself in the modern age of Imperial Safety? In truth, it is known that Imperial Safety comes hand in hand with Imperial Oppression and many a doomed traveler will escape to an uncertain freedom than live out their lives under the Emperor's boot. Drix gets a guilt trip. Andrel learns what happened to Ji'mani. Pip is unsure about his relationship status.

  • Ep. 52 - All That's Left Behind

    The mood is dour on the Pride of Duskwall as the train makes it's way non-stop through Thorn to Sevrin. Walker's near-death at the Journeyman ceremony stirs many conflicting emotions in the hearts of the Line Bulls, feelings that are only articulated with great effort. But an important passenger on the Line brings along a more immediate threat. Andrel forgets about Ji'mani. Pip decides to remember. Drix must run to the rescue.

  • Ep. 51 - Many Great People

    Content Warning: Gun violence(~00:36:20-00:42:15)- Someone is shot, and there is a brief moment of civilian panic. The gunshot wound is tended to, in a stressful and traumatic situation but without gory description.

    Though it has only been two days in Belisle, the Line Bulls have now experienced life outside of the Imperium for longer than many who will live and die behind a lightning barrier. But all good things must come to an end, and the Line Bulls must return to Cullfield for their Journeyman Ceremony with Mr. Walker. Andrel catches Orlence in hypocrisy. Pip is not helpless. Drix gains a heavy burden.

  • Bonus - Stop at the Depot: 50th Episode

    Making an appearance here on the main feed is the 50th episode edition of our TalkBacks that we've been doing on Patreon. Enjoy a minimally edited discussion of the creation of Ghosts on a Train!

    Now that the Line Bulls have returned from the unplanned hiatus, done a live show, and visited Drix's home of Belisle, the cast of Ghosts on a Train discuss the milestone of the 50th episode and the creation of the story so far. We discuss Greg's attempts at metaphor with Human Magic, whether Andrel trusts adults now, why Pip is sticking his neck out, and how it was decided that Drix would be a Magician. The gang also discusses the creation of Arcane Fortress Belisle, and how we're probably more than halfway through this campaign now!

  • Ep. 50 - Like a Tumbleweed

    The treasonous plan to destroy His Majesty the Immortal Emperor has been hatched in the secluded nest of Belisle. Peeping like a chick, it is not yet safe for it to go as far as the conspiracy of Magicians, Line Bulls, and distant Skovlander ghosts dream of. The Line Bulls of the Pride of Duskwall have another day to spend on further business in this outpost outside of the Empire that they now turn against. Andrel learns a life altering truth. Drix goes head to head with his rival. Pip gets revenge.

  • Bonus - Fan Expo Boston 2022 (feat. Arlo Barksdale)

    Watch the video that this audio is from on the FN Youtube channel here!

    In their first live appearance, the Ghosts on a Train gang played a short encounter on The Creator Stage set up by Chuck Lindsey (@ChuckLoadComics) at Fan Expo Boston 2022! Guy couldn't make it, so instead Arlo Barksdale (of Hecla fame) played a guest (not Hecla). It's a ghost hunt inside a city that anyone can enjoy outside of continuity! Spirit Warden Holtz Bowman brings an offer the Bulls can't refuse. Andrel hunts an old nemesis. Drix does it to another man, always.

  • Ep. 49 - The Magic of Belisle

    The Magicians of Severos remember the land before the cataclysm, living as they do outside of Imperial society. The Immortal Emperor saved scholarly works to educate humanity in the cataclysm's wake, but he distributed them selectively and for the utility of propping up his Imperium- the Severosi let knowledge flow as free and wild as the horses of their plains. The Line Bulls of The Pride of Duskwall take a trip to Belisle, an Arcane Fortress of Severos and Drix's home. Drix reconnects with his past. Pip is a cool guy. Andrel shares a secret.

  • Ep. 48 - Layover: Cullfield of Dreams

    Content Warning: Rampant Shirtlessness (~1:05:30-1:16:44, and ~1:19:05-1:21:10) - everyone winds up at a bar where the bartenders are shirtless, with Drix shirtless among them, Andrel as a clothed bouncer, and Pip swinging by to make a delivery. Sexual Harrassment (~1:12:53-1:14:55) - one of the shirtless bartenders gets their butt slapped, and Andrel kicks the offender out of the bar.

    The Pride of Duskwall arrives in Cullfield with some badly needed lightning oil. With an extended Layover on their hands, the Line Bulls celebrate Andrel's Orphanage* Birthday and take on an unusual side job. Andrel encounters something she thought was left behind. Pip receives an obvious warning. Drix takes his top off, but the hat stays on.

    Check out Gather the Suspect's crowdfunding campaign over at Seed & Spark, they're a cozy murder mystery audio drama and fellow FN show!

    Fireman Drix artwork can be seen on the FN discord server, and it's by @BrothBowl on Twitter. The Fireman Drix artist is just shirtless, but BROTHBOWL IS AN 18+ ARTIST.

  • Ep. 47 - Pride of the Pride

    Content Warning: Gunshots Throughout- Coleman's gang (and Candace!) all have revolvers. People are shot and shot at, but nobody is killed by any shot.

    Though often erroneously chalked up to his Dagger Isles blood, Coleman Kanatcher's skill as a Whisper is revealed. Staring daggers at the Pride of Duskwall, he's stopped the train in its tracks and moved in to rob the Imperial Railways directly. The Line Bulls split up to handle the situation and keep anyone from dying. Pip takes three men. Andrel learns what The Pride of Duskwall is made of. Drix Casts a Spell.
