This is going to be another special release in the middle of the week, continuing the conversation with folks that work at and around Paizo about the #PaizoAccountability and #UnionizePaizo movement going on. I discovered Brian thru his lengthy(but informative!) twitter threads providing valuable insight on everything going. So of course I snagged him up, and after we go into his history of gaming and his career path leading up to working for Paizo, we dig in on how things are looking for the heroes at our favorite ttrpg production company.

Hex Grid Hangouts: Brian Bauman

Finally a moment to catch their breath after battle, the heroes collect their loot and we discuss their new level 7 abilities before the constabulary shows up. 

S2E28: Tender Embraces

This week I hangout with Emma, the GM for the homebrew Starfinder podcast Galaxy's Greatest. She's here to chat about her truly delightful show, and to tease a little of the Pathfinder 2e Twitch stream she and her podcast network are launching on October 11th. Gilesrien's Greatest is a high fantasy story following a party of adventurers and the first ever boy to be made a witch in this homebrew world. Hence the name for the game: Tales of the Witch Boy.  They will be streaming Monday, October 11th at 6:30pm PST over on Twitch. DO check them out, mostly because it's already such a rich world Emma has created. I know this for a fact as I've been invited to join as a player. https://www.twitch.tv/greatestguardiangaming

Hex Grid Hangouts: Emma from Galaxy's Greatest

This conversation fills me with such happiness. I've long been a fan of the Dice Will Roll podcast, so to get to gush a while is a dream come true. On top of diving in on their podcast, Derry goes into detail about the #PaizoAccountability moment from their perspective helping to organize. Derry was also here to promote their PF2e/D&D5e module 'Safe Haven'. From the Kickstarter going live October 12th: "A Low-Magic, High-Weirdness Western adventure module for gunslinging heroes between Level 5 and 8..."

The battle in the sewers comes to a conclusion. More spells are slung, and healing-both physical and emotional, is needed.

S2E27: An Examination on Otter Behavior

The Osharu that stepped forward reveals themselves to be an Evolutionist, the current playtest class Paizo is doing. No time to collect their thoughts, the battle rages on with massive amounts of damage being dealt on both sides. Also....some of the party finally realizes the loot I've given them in the past is GOOD, actually. 

S2E26: Enter the Evolutionist

Akim investigates a door, and then the party separates to explore the immediate area. Loot is found, Naruto is discussed, and a fight breaks out with those fake Absalom Station Security guards from before...

S2E25: Fish Cake

This week I got to chat with Critically Accursed aka Chris, the Storyteller/GM of the PbtA actual play podcast 'Horizon'. We talk about his superhero adventure podcast, our shared disdain for Shadowrun's character creation, our work together in the 'We Roll Dice' Discord, his past pod work, Shawn's hair, and much more! Chris is a great guy, and you might be able to hear a little bit of nerves from me because I had such a thrill getting to swap stories with this fella. Check out Horizon wherever you download podcasts! Link to 'We Roll Dice' Discord server: https://discord.gg/dzmTFdyxjp

Hex Grid Hangouts: We Roll Dice with Critically Accursed

THIS WILL BE OUR 100th PODCAST RELEASE. We open up this episode with artwork for our newest party member, and then we dive RIGHT back into the fight with the people who are clearly NOT Absalom Station Security guards. 

S2E24: 100th Episode! Also Swoltrid

Akim meets a fan, and the group descends into the bowels of Absalom Station where they run afoul of some shady characters. 

S2E23: Shootout in the Gutters

Tallie and Lemon meet an old friend who has information they need for their investigation, and Brasha makes a deal with a Vesk.  Joining the crew this week is Keet, the Brenneri Mechanic. Before the pod, Tallie and Lemon used to do off-the-record Starfinder Society scenarios with Keet that I GMed. What effect will this have on the group's energy? Find out!

S2E22: Brunch With a Brenneri

This week I got to chat with Cameron from the Sinister Shenanigans in Space podcast about the new Starfinder playtest of the Evolutionist class. But before that he regales us with the rundown of his Starfinder homebrew podcast that I strongly encourage everyone to check out. It's got a great story and truly endearing characters. 

Hex Grid Hangouts: Evolutionist Playtest and Sinister Shenanigans in Space

After receiving personal correspondences, the crew of the Bazaar Encounter arrive at Absalom Station. The terraforming team departs, as do some of their companion NPCs. The party then divides up a bit to tackle some personal business. First up: Lemon has a meeting w/ an authority figure from his past....

S2E21: Splitting of the Party and Aeternal Meetings

The crew of the Bazaar Encounter are headed back to Absalom Station after a job well done. Showers are taken, course laid in, and we get a little taste of what's awaiting some of the party members when they arrive.

S2E20: Drift Downtime

Wounds and crits abound in this fight around the power core. After patching themselves up the crew gathers everything together and makes their way from this bizarre planet.
