Team Meatbag

Welcome to Astronomica, a science fiction OSR actual play podcast using the Stars Without Number RPG system. Join Star Master Stan and regular players Colin, Cullen, Geoff, and Kristen as they crew the definitely-not-piloted-by-a-rogue-AI ship The Admiral Grace. From encounters with magnificent space whales to battling intergalactic corporate scumbags, there is nothing this crew can't make way more complicated than it needs to be. Tag along every Wednesday and listen in as we learn that the true friends were the ones you decompressed and maybe accidentally spaced along the way.

Fortunately, we have the second half of our throwback-stravaganza Mork Borg to see you through the week. Send us a message through this weird thing that didn't exist before but exists now.

Ep 276: Fun Ain't Nothin'
With Cho operative Grant Holliday firmly in custody, Team Meatbag looks for a safe location to engage in a little interrogation. Hopper presents an idea. It's an interesting idea. It's a concerning idea. We cannot stress enough that it's an idea that leads to a potentially distressing series of events that make words like salsa sound downright wholesome. This one might be more of a tomato paste situation. Anyhoozle, let's all sit down to a nice bowl of gazpacho as we enjoy this week's Astronomica!
