Astronomica - podcast cover

Astronomica

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.

Ep 175: Five Guys are People!

You know how sometimes someone says something funny and you're like "Oh damn, that's a title right there" and then it's really just a one off joke referencing an old movie that doesn't *really* explain the episode but then you still use it?

Ep 170: Nobody Puts N-Zed in a Corner

It's time to dance! Okay, first we need to have Yazid take a look at those scientific papers and then maybe do a quick fashion montage with N-Zed but *then* it's time to dance.

With the first night of festivities fully in the rearview, Team Meatbag boldly shuffles forth to see what the new day will hold.

Ep 166: Witness Me, Ashton Kutcher!

The first night of festivities wrap up with a bang. Not that kind of bang, the metaphorical kind that happens when a court eunuch, a holo star, and a whole lot of N-Zed walk into an opera.

Ep 164: This Episode Could Have Been an Email

But could it really? Could an email ever hope to express the sheer awesomeness that is Chevy trying to give a professional presentation on the wedding we're about to crash?

Ep 163: Somewhere Over the Event Horizon

Whelp, there's a space monster. And after Stardaddy made fun of us for being so careful and everything. It's almost like he *wants* us to perish in the terrible tesseracting maw of a horrific inter-dimensional creature the likes of which no human has yet to survive. I'm starting to think he's not really rooting for us you guys.

Ep 159: The Only Cat Girls in the VIP

Remember that wild cliffhanger from last week? Well this week we find out what happens next! If this seems a little vague, it's because it's very cold in Memphis and it turns out we aren't Discworld trolls.

Haaaa-py New Year! It's 2024 and we're at the Monopole Gravitics Headquarters, we're at the Clip Show Part 1.5, we're at the combination Monopole Gravitics Headquarters and Clip Show Part 1.5.

Ep 154: The Meat Puppet Who Loved Me

This week the crew carries out an extremely competent jail break. For real, they actually do the thing without over complicating it and the only explosion happens off screen. And if you believe that then...good, I'm a very trustworthy source. You trust me, right? Ps: The rain picks up towards the end of the episode so if you hear a bunch of clicking don't worry, it's not a Geiger counter working over time or anything.

Ep 153: Kitty Game Bananas

With Hopper still trapped in inter-dimensional space - or possibly the future? no one really knows how this transporter thing works - the rest of Team Meatbag scrambles to tie up loose ends on Panamorphe. Good thing Mackie never leaves home without Cat Girl High School or he'd never be able to interface with a Space Nazi's meat suit long enough for a prison break. If that sounded like nonsense, hit the play button so we can make it even more complicated on this week's Astronomica! If you enjoy t...

Ep 152: CB is Definitely Innocent

We're back from the Thanksgiving break and ready to find out what, exactly, has happened to Hopper. Was he whisked to another dimension? Were his molecules separated and strewn about the cosmos? Is he just hiding behind a convenient curtain ready to give Mackie a mild cardiac event? No matter what the outcome, we can be certain of one thing: it is absolutely, definitely, 1000 % not CB's fault. This time. If you enjoy the mildly unhinged antics of Stardaddy and his band of merry madpersons, be su...

Bonus: Happy Donksgiving!

It's Thanksgiving here in the U.S. and that means we've got some bonus silliness just for you. Katrina joins us for a round of definitely very serious thankfulness that we definitely don't turn into an extended dick joke followed by an extended, er, gash joke. Also there's something about suspenders in there, I dunno, Colin is a time traveler. We wish everyone who celebrates a wonderful holiday and everyone who doesn't a wonderful third week of November!
