Enjoy our first batch of Patreon bloopers from Season 2's DRUM arc, now available for all!

Aw, hey guys! It's me, Dockers. Everybody's favorite high guy who's not alive. Things have been pretty scary on the show lately, but that doesn't mean we don't have fun around here. These guys talk a lot and sometimes the words just get away from them, you know? Let's take a listen to some futzes and flubs from the DRUM arc and bonus episode, Bid Around the Bush.

The Painted Crow was one of our first Patreon NPC bonus episodes, now available for all!

How did Ramsey / Lincoln end up as the taciturn shopkeeper with more knowledge than patience? Unfortunately, we're about to find out. Something important has gone missing from the Clockwork Child. Skaal, the mystical tracker, is meant to be resting safely in the mural on the back of the store. But he's been taken. If Lincoln / Ramsey hopes to get him back, they'll have to rely on somebody they hoped they'd never have to see again: The mentor that made them who they are today. It's an origin story in retrospect! And it's not going to go well!

When the battle is over, it’s time to rebuild. And around here, that means reconnecting with the people you love. Maybe now that the threat to existence has ended, we can just spend some time together, and nothing dramatic has to happen. DID YOU HEAR ME, GUYS? NOTHING dramatic has to happen…We’ll see about that.

FULL ON ASSAULT! It’s final boss time, everybody! For too long, it’s been The Star King making plans. But now Kira, Anna, Mark and Theo have put their plan into motion as well. And now it’s like they say: May the best plan win.-------

Okay. Cool. We got him. The Star King is trapped. That’s… good, right? Except hang on: He still has the team’s closest friends god knows where, they still have the Star Princes to worry about and—oh yeah—there’s still the last phase of the plan to *checks notes* rewrite an entire chapter of reality. No pressure, gang.

If you’re trying to trap a god, what do you use as bait? Why, everything, of course. It will take some of the team’s finest minds to lure the Star King into a snare, while a completely different set of equally fine minds try to lure his Princes to a battlefield the good guys control. We’ve got Thinkers, and we’ve got Bruisers, and everybody has their work cut out for them. All they have to do now… is win.--------

The balance of power has changed in a big way. After some major shifts in the Kingdoms of There—and we do mean MAJOR—it's anybody's guess whether our heroes will be able to pull off their crazy-ambitious plan. It would be a toss-up on the best of days, and these… are not the best of days.------

When the bad guys make big moves, the good guys make big plans. On this show, the bad guys are really bad. But there are also a LOT of good guys on this show. Maybe it's time to give some of them a call? It's all hands on deck for the Cover Story crew. But will it be enough?

Everybody has a reason why they fight. For our heroes, it’s the friends & family they need to protect. They’ll push themselves to the limits to keep them safe. Trouble is: their enemy has a reason, too. And The Star King doesn’t have the same limits they do…
