Welcome to our second full campaign, "Borrowed Light," playing Hard Wired Island by Paul Matijevic, Freyja Erlingsdottir, and Minverva McJanda!
This is our session zero -- basically a planning session we've recorded and put in the feed as part demonstration, part explanation, part preparation, and part revelation (by which I mean, it's kind of a type of Dice Peeks in feel, which is why it doesn't have its own Peeks in the Patreon feed).
We hope this episode is entertaining, informative, and useful going forward into the campaign, and we hope you enjoy the official start of Borrowed Light in episode 2.1 - People of GPol, posting shortly!

Welcome to the after-show, patrons and other listeners alike! Since we're releasing one-shots to tide you over while we rebuild our buffer of Hard Wired Island episodes, and our Patreon is currently paused, we're putting the Peeks for Exiles here and on our Patreon's public feed -- we hope you enjoy this look at what could be yours twice a month if you support us with real, actual dollars!
This one-shot in Ben Klug's moody, contemplative game of item descriptions, Exiles, is a somber, silent, GM-less journey into the bleak world and fractured history of four wanderers in darkened lands...
This month's in-between one-shot is a different kind of thing than we've done so far, a lot quieter, in both literal and figurative senses. We hope you enjoy it; it was very rewarding to record!
The intended experience of these in-between one-shots in March and April 2024 is to be a little woolier, so we hope you still enjoy them -- and look in the main feed for the Dice Peeks after-show, since these are being released while our Patreon is temporarily paused!
We are still bringing you our Hard Wired Island campaign, Borrowed Light -- and in fact, this episode is ever so slightly late going up due to recording toward our buffer for that campaign!
As the poet once said... "The Arsonist" by Thrice.
Exiles is by Ben Klug.

Welcome to the after-show, patrons and other listeners alike! Since we're releasing one-shots to tide you over while we rebuild our buffer of Hard Wired Island episodes, and our Patreon is currently paused, we're putting the Peeks for SALVATION here and on our Patreon's public feed -- we hope you enjoy this look at what could be yours twice a month if you support us with real, actual dollars!
This one-shot in Erika Chappell's short, bloody, hilarious SALVATION: Blessed are the Ultraviolent will probably stand for some time as our most indulgently excessive one-shot! If you're familiar with "Conflictmallet 4x10^4," you'll probably recognize some things, including some of the effects work Adam has done in the edit...

Welcome to the after-show, patrons and all other listeners alike! To celebrate the end of our first full campaign, we're putting the finale episodes' Dice Peeks in the main feed -- we hope you enjoy it!
It does start off punchy, and keeps going punchy, but we hope you'll enjoy the weird energy, and the peek behind the scenes -- and if you do, look forward to our next regular episode, which is a full-campaign retrospective!
And hey, thank you to our patrons, who have supported us with actual dollars, allowing us to buy recording & editing software, audio equipment, and TTRPG books & systems, including our next big adventure, Hard Wired Island!
In this episode, our Nobilis pursue the end of gods, and whatever may come next...
Scheduling Note: This episode is the final part of a marathon, nearly-12-hour recording session we Punks did to give Nightfall the send-off it deserves. The first part was posted on 1 September 2023, and this true, for-real-this-time last episode of Nightfall is going live between regularly scheduled updates, as soon as life allowed us to finish the editing on it -- thanks for your patience!
We’ll also be putting these finale episodes’ combined Dice Peeks after-show in the main feed, for all to enjoy!
After that, for 15 September, we’ll be posting a retrospective episode covering the whole campaign. 1 & 15 October will be our… triumphant? …return to Extreme Meatpunks Forever (GMed once more by the inimitable Drew!), and we’ll have something special for you on HALLOWEEN! Finally, Des’s Unknown Armies miniseries will begin airing on November 15th, and our next full campaign, Hard Wired Island, will begin after that.

In this episode, our Nobilis make a great start of the daunting task of ending the war between the gods, one way or another...
Scheduling Note: This episode is the first part of a marathon, nearly-12-hour recording session we Punks did to give Nightfall the send-off it deserves. During that, we identified a few good potential stopping points where the episode could be split up if needed, since editing 12ish hours of four people’s audio is a task it’s hard to predict the duration of.
And it’s good we did, because despite planning ahead, life has prevented Joanne and Adam from getting the whole thing ready for airtime by the day this goes live, September 1st! That said, we want to avoid making our wonderful listeners wait a whole half a month to hear the rest if we're at all able, so here’s the plan:
This first part is for you to enjoy right this instant, the next part will go up as soon as it’s ready, and we’ll be putting these finale episodes’ combined Dice Peeks after-show in the main feed, for all to enjoy! After that, for September 15th, we’ll be posting a retrospective episode covering the whole campaign. October 1st and 15th will be our… triumphant? …return to Extreme Meatpunks Forever (GMed once more by the inimitable Drew!), and we’ll have something special for you on HALLOWEEN!

- Bloodstones, specifically in circles, are a part of the world of the excellent Welcome to Night Vale, though of course the naming here is nothing more than an amusing coincidence.
- This is, as far as we can reckon, the first episode in which Lyssa's Lucky Advantage has actually paid off! Huzzah!
- Lyssa made a reference with "Rage, rage against the [coming] of the light!" The original line was penned by Welsh poet Dylan Thomas.

- As the intro will elaborate on, the audio in this one is pretty rough -- though as smooth as Adam could get it. Start with a tired voice and some mild illness, throw in a mic problem or two, season with a dash of corrupted data, then try and even it all out in post, and voila! This episode! We hope it sounds okay, and that it won't happen again...

- Similarly, audio was oddly peaky this time around, for unclear reasons. All available avenues to keep it from being an issue were pursued, so hopefully it sounds all right!
- Adam mixed up "Apatea" and "Nyx" several times, and had to overdub one of them awkwardly. Oops...

- 666's rolled = 8 (one on Lyssa rolling CHARM + Fascinate, one on Dask rolling KNOWLEDGE + Language: Diamach!)

- Avatar: The Last Airbender is fantastic, and if you haven't seen it, you should watch it, but for our purposes, one of the four types of elemental magic/martial arts in the setting is firebending.

Our humble playcast begins with a two-episode one-shot in Psionics, a game in the Dicepunk system (no relation) by Devon Oratz.
At a small, unusual school in rural America, several students have recently become aware that they have... unusual abilities -- and they're about to have a pretty terrible day.
- "War Eagle!" is a greeting-slash-cheer used by Auburn University in Alabama, despite the fact that their mascot is officially the Tigers.
- Hüsker Dü is the name of both a board game and a hardcore punk band.
- The Mediterranean civilizations of the late Bronze Age experienced a collective, catastrophic collapse, seemingly due to a variety of factors.
- The idea of an OODA Loop was military in origin, but is applied in response strategies that many teachers in United States schools are trained in, in the event of an active shooter on campus. (In the session, Robin has Nic refer to the student handbook for response strategies that are, in the GM's experience, more rational and effective than much of what teachers in the real world are trained in.)
