Hilde and Big Nikki have a quick word with the leader of the Mongoes while Mackie performs the vital service of keeping their transport on the ground.

Y'all, it's time to plan a coup! This week the team ties up some loose ends and starts looking to the station to fix this whole sultan controlling all the resources nonsense. Anton gets a final word with Bridget while Big Nikki calls into the kitchen to let their people know what's up.

Bridget is back and you're gonna be in trouble, hey ya hey yaaaa, Bridget's back! Did we mention that Bridget Sakamoto is back and she is suuuuuuuper not happy with Anton? Guess it's time for Team Meatbag to finish what they started low so many episodes ago and finally get these crazy kids to settle their differences.

With Team Meatbag on the very precipice of getting the party back together, Stardaddy starts tossing curve balls left and right. The Grace is the first to spot a dangerous familiar face but nothing compares to the moment she finally gets Mackie back on coms.

Anton raises concerns about playing "space savior" without the Mongoes go-ahead while Hilde flexes her authority in getting a shuttle pick up direct from the Silver City. Meanwhile, the Grace makes a credible threat to anyone unwise enough to attempt a hull breach and Mackie finds another extremely useful room in the downed aerostat station.

It's our first anniversary y'all! As of this week, we've been doing this thing for one whole year and we are mighty excited to share that with you, our loyal listeners. In lieu of our usual vague rundown of this week's episode we'd like to give a great big massive hardy THANK YOU to everyone who has supported us over the course of this year.

With the team still split into their individual projects, Mackie finally remembers he's a scrounger by nature. Hilde gains a bit of insight into the origin of the mysterious Goonies and the team generally re-affirms their various goals. Meanwhile, Anton meets up with an unexpected acquaintance and gets some seriously bad news. Could this be the beginning of the end for our favorite fatalistic space Cajun?

We're back! We hope you all enjoyed last week's chance to really pause and think about life but it's high time we checked back in with Team Meatbag. While Anton deals with the fallout from Hopper's mistrust, Hilde comes to terms with an unexpected side effect of applied linguistics. Big Nikki proudly shows off their recent discovery only for Mackie to raise some troubling questions about the erstwhile baker's origins. It's a wet ass life when you think about it so buckle up and be sure you've go...

This week Team Meatbag continues their brave stance on splitting the party (AKA why not make Stardaddy prep for two entirely different games at once?). Anton hops from a murder mystery to a disaster movie as he and his NPCs attempt to return a tanker full of gas to the Mongoes. Meanwhile, Mackie and Hilde roll some skill checks and Big Nikki makes an amazing discovery. Guest starring Katrina Coleman.

What's the one cardinal rule of role playing games? That's right, this week we're ignoring everything we know about RPG survival and splitting the party. While Anton lives out his action hero dreams on a solo-ish mission back to the Mongos, the rest of the crew hangs out at the Silver City. Big Nikki and Mackie get up to some adorable shenanigans and Hilde and Hopper wax philosophical. This is either the smartest or the dumbest thing we've ever done so pull up some headphones, grab a tube of Mmm...

This week Big Nikki keeps the friendship train rolling with the addition of a brand new hench pers-er hench thing. Hilde also overcomes the last of Bashy's standoffishness while Mackie takes a look at what repairs might get the Silver City producing water again. Finally, the team engages in the oldest of player traditions: an in-depth discussion on how their actions might destabilize local politics to the detriment of those they're trying to help.

Welcome to the stunning conclusion of last week's cliffhanger! Now that we've got that out of the way, Hilde engages in some light linguistic body horror while Big Nikki makes pals with the glow baby. Unfortunately that rascal Bashy runs off in all the excitement, forcing the team to follow after into the darkness of the Silver City. It's our grossest episode yet so if you've been waiting on something truly concerning, we've got ya covered on this week's episode of Astronomica! Guest starring Ka...

We kick this week off with a couple of new goals for Mackie and Hilde plus the team commits to a nonviolent contact strategy with the Goonies. Hilde, Big Nikki, and our shiny new NPC Bashy form an advance team while Anton, Mackie, Hopper, and all our boring old not new NPCs follow at distance in the Death Wag. Will Hilde's winning personality speed diplomacy with the notoriously nonverbal Goonies? Will Big Nikki make a new friend? Will Anton fall into a big hole and die? Most if not all of these...

This week the team gets their interrogation on with one judiciously applied squeal patch followed by a fist fight. Hopper raises suspicions about Brilliana, the team's surface Crocean guide, while Anton exchanges blows with the sniper who just ambushed the Death Wag. Big Nikki gets concerned about what their new friends are planning for the Sultan and Mackie offers a suggestion that could change the whole game. Guest starring Katrina Coleman.

We've got a sniper! As Mackie deftly drives the Deathwag defensively, Anton seeks to surreptitiously snipe the sniper. Hilde and Hopper do their own thing, eschewing alliterative action in favor of sending the drone for a closer look and cheering Mackie on respectively. Big Nikki tries to decide if they can avoid committing violence but before they can figure out a kinder path a new danger emerges from the mountains. This combat is full of surprises - and milkshakes? - so strap in for one helluv...

The title really says it all this week as the crew heads planet side to meet with the surface Croceans. Unfortunately the water transfer hits a snag when it turns out the Croceans are missing a vital part of the exchange: a tanker full of gasoline. It seems a group of giants known only as The Goonies made off with the life-sustaining fuel just the other day and now the thirsty group just needs a random band of heroes to help them out of this tricky situation. Good thing Team Meatbag is here to s...

With the Grace badly in need of repairs, Team Meatbag limps out of the Glasir system in the hopes of laying low for a month or two. They wind up on a quaint little planet by the name of Crocea Mors and settle into an honest to Space Clam sky palace if you can believe it. Mackie makes friends with the jovial assistant to the assistant head baker while Anton, Hilde, and Hopper head out for a night on the floating town. Will our erstwhile crew get to enjoy their newfound comfort or is there an adve...
