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.

Man, this week is a big one. Three years ago we started recording this shout into the void, just five Memphis nerds and the insane urge to make other people listen to our silly voices. Since then we've weathered a pandemic, lost and gained jobs, and talked a whole lot of shit about libertarians. Best of all, we've done all this with the same core crew plus a friend or two along the way. There's no being coy on this one, this week we say goodbye to one of those core members and damn, we're happy

Ep 75: Suddenly Seeking Seomgim

It's all aboard the Admiral Grace as the crew rounds up their various passengers, crates, and personal effects in preparation for a whirlwind tour around the star map. Will the crew make it off Menkaure without one more side quest? How many riffs on  the name Constantopolis will Stardaddy allow before he starts throwing dice? And is it actually theft if the people whose property you confiscate might one day be passengers aboard your transport vessel? These questions and more answered with a mere

Not content with the next step along Scrip's quest line, the team heads back to the Skullpants' I Fucking Love this Place Bar and Grill to feel out a few more potential gigs.

The newly liberated Squirtle Bells joins the team officially - well, is used as a meat shield in case DataGeist has any dangerous tricks still in the offing which is basically the same thing, right? - an

If you thought part two of our epic train combat was intense, just wait till you click play on the final installment! This week ups the action with more explosions, more giant mooks cut down before their time, and more reasons NOT to blow up those enticing "fuel" tankers. Anton continues to live his best combat life while Hilde shows those ones and zeros who's boss. Meanwhile, Mackie discovers some brand new friends and tips Team Meatbag's moral compass back to the green. It looks like our intre

Combat mode engaged! As Anton makes his presence known on board the speeding train, the rest of the crew finally gets down to business. We've got dueling hackers, desperate sprints to hop on a moving train, and lots and lots of looking up the rules to make sure we're doing this thing right. Oh, and the ever present threat of the Dove of Peace ready to turn everything to goo just as soon as it figures out what's going on. If you thought the crew of the Admiral Grace was incompetent last time, jus

Ep 27: 3:10 to Yo Mama

Good thing we put an asterisk on that "most competent crew in the multiverse" claim. With Operation: Barn Owl completely screwed, the crew of the Admiral Grace flounders around trying to remember what Anton taught them about combat situations. Meanwhile, Anton himself gets his action hero on and kicks off some serious shenanigans down in the crater. Will we see our very first character death or will the crew get their shit together in time to deal some decent damage? Only listening will give you

Leaving the cavern and vowing to eschew any further distractions, Team Meatbag continues further down the tunnels towards the last known coordinates of Ghost dot gov. After handily dispatching a suspicious looking tripwire, the team discovers a secret exit leading to the planet's surface. Meanwhile, Gracie's communications with the Dove of Peace are returned by a strange entity identified only as "Terry".

Ep 25: The Only Boys at Cat Girl High School

Oh boy did Team Meatbag find a treat this week! After following the siren call of the mysterious recording, the crew finds themselves in a giant cavern full of pre-tech vehicles ripe for salvage. Well...ripe for being turned into general scrap anyways as it quickly becomes clear that they aren't the first scavengers through these parts. As Mackie, Anton, Hopper, and the minions stock up on junk, Hilde is drawn to the hologram of a strange young girl wearing cat ears and an ancient Terran school

Ep 24: Appropriate Workplace Discourse and Other Combat Protocols

It's time for a good old fashioned dungeon crawl, y'all! This week the crew of the Admiral Grace sets forth in earnest on their quest to bring justice to Ghost.gov. After a quick trip on one of Glasir's swankiest virtual experience train cars, the group gets oriented and starts down some old mining shafts. Anton double checks to make sure everyone is in optimal combat position before stumbling on a mysterious glowing side tunnel. Will the crew stay on task or will this literal shiny distraction

With Hopper's body - and the remains of the AI core - now safely aboard the Admiral Grace, the crew preps for their very first mission of vengeance. Hilde and Grace get to work finding out as much as they possibly can about Ghost.gov and their potential whereabouts while Mackie diligently pieces Hopper back together. Anton bonds with Chili Cheese and takes his new AITF credentials for a walk out on the town to snag some free weapons' carry permits at the local Guns and Stuff. They all end up bac

We join the crew of the Admiral Grace mid-conflict with three AITF (Artificial Intelligence, Tobacco, and Firearms) bots on the ground and the ominous sound of the Dove of Peace drilling into the ice above. While Mackie and Anton try desperately to pull Hopper away from his efforts to destroy the AI core, Hilde swoops in to check the wreckage for salvageable material.  It's only a matter of moments before the scene changes yet again and the crew is faced with a terrible choice: try to restrain H

Ep 21: Drones and Droids and Bots, Oh My!

The crew prepares to meet their mysterious contact for a completely above board and not at all shady hand off of the smuggled AI core. Hilde finally digs into her new drone and discovers it is even cooler than she thought it would be. Before long, DefConDoc shows up and turns out to be a punk kid with a wicked fashion sense. Unfortunately there is no time to get to know this dapper fellow as a bevy of mall cop robots start pouring out of the walls and blasting away at DefConDoc and his henchman.

After several weeks (okay, a few days) of playing host to the Apogee Station refugees, the crew of the Admiral Grace is more than ready for a little R &R. Anton and Hopper head to the nearest tattoo shop for an update to the ol' chassis while Hilde and Mackie look for a quiet tea room. Before long, Mackie is hosting a bidding war for the AI core smuggled more or less safely in the Grace's secret hold. It looks like the crew can expect a hefty pay day just as soon as Hilde and Mackie collect the

Ep 19: When Corporate Hellscapes Freeze Over

While Anton takes one last shot at obtaining a fancy new fighter ship, Mackie gives his favorite kid a tour of the Admiral Grace. Turns out our Mr. Mackie has a Tragic Backstory (tm) after all and at least some of that surprise brain surgery from Hopper might actually be a good thing. Anton rejoins the crew just in time to get the galley fires under control and the team finally heads to Glasir IV. This new corporate hellscape looks to be a whole lot sturdier than the last, which is good because

Ep 18: Home is Where the Humiliation Is

While Anton practices a bit of full contact diplomacy, Hilde presents Mackie with an intimidating possibility: his old home the Empress Helene is nearby and looks to be the most promising option for the majority of the Apogee Station refugees. Unfortunately this means an extremely uncomfortable conversation with his least intimidating progeny. With this new plan more or less set, Anton tries to figure out why the Admiral Grace is diverting course without him. He's not that worried though as the

It turns out that guy trying to board the ship is actually pretty chill. After a bit of haggling with this Loc Xi De representative, the crew agrees to send Anton over to the Albatross in the hopes of securing passage for the remaining refugees. Hilde and Mackie work on finding a landing site on Glazier IV, not an easy task with competing corporate ships breathing down their necks. Meanwhile, Anton employs his legendary charm with the captain of the Albatross. Fingers crossed this goes a bit bet

Ep 16: In Space No One Can Hear You Steal Corporate Secrets

Hoping to offload a few of those hungry Apogee Station refugees, the crew of the Admiral Grace answers a call from an incoming corporate vessel. It seems their moral pangs have more or less sorted themselves out as everyone decides pretty quickly that negotiating with shady business dudes is just about the best way to move things along. To that end, Anton and Mackie pull a mini-heist on a potential spy for the Loc Xi De corporation. They liberate a high tech data pad which Hilde immediately plan

Ep 15: No Good Deeds for Old Men

Leaving the once bustling Apogee Station somewhat the worse for their visit, the crew of the Admiral Grace struggles to process their various pangs of conscience. Hilde experiences considerably more emotions than she is used to while Anton remembers how he came to be on the Grace. Mackie exhibits an unusual level of leadership, at least while the refugees are paying attention. Before too long, though, the crew is forced to deal with the reality of babysitting a bunch of hyper-capitalist cronies

Mackie continues to romance his lady love but complications arise when she remembers she has a dog and is desperate to save it from all those explosions. Speaking of consequences, Anton battles through his combat haze to insist on saving as many civilians as possible.

Surprise! The murder droids are still on the trail and totally fine with collateral destruction. The Admiral takes aim while Mackie, Hilde, and Anton mill about in predictable confusion for a round or two. Eventually, the crew comes up with a plan: rendezvous in the food court, flag down the Gracie, and get the hell outa Apogee Station. This foolproof retreat is shockingly complicated when Mackie locks eyes with the most gorgeous mall walker he's ever seen. Meanwhile, Anton is similarly enamored

After narrowly escaping a swarm of murder drones, the Admiral Grace once again succumbs to the sweet, sweet oblivion of hyperdrive. Meanwhile, her very good boy Mackie shows a surprising level of deceit when he recruits the rest of team meatbag to hide a rogue AI in hopes of selling it for a truly righteous payday. Nothing particularly interesting happens until the team hits the Glazier system - that hive of corporate slime and franchisery - and remembers why intergalactic ad blockers are a nece

Battle stations! Last week we left our motley crew with an unknown vessel in hot pursuit and the Admiral Grace ordering her human counterparts to take their stations. Of course, that would be a lot easier if everyone in the crew knew what that meant. Good thing it doesn't take too long to get everyone in place and ready for combat. Well, ready to wait for the pursuing vessel to get within range of combat any way. At least we have a lot of extra time to figure out how space battles work, right?If

Fresh off their first serious combat, the intrepid crew of the Admiral Grace gets down to what really matters: figuring out how to pay their bills. Gracie officially welcomes Hilde to the team while Mackie decorates the cockpit with some snazzy loot. Meanwhile, everyone levels up but completely forget to talk about what that means. The general end-of-arc milling about is interrupted when the crew finally remembers to check their mail and discover that the mysterious Mr. Cho isn't done with them

We join our crew just as they realize they aren't quite clear of Bridget's revenge. Sure, detaching the submersible modules seemed like a great way to escape but unfortunately physics still work even on an implausible planet made entirely of water and the two units surface at exactly the same time. Hilde nearly dies from a stubbed toe while Anton does his best to eliminate the threat.

Finally on-task, the crew heads to the swanky part of the ship for some good old fashioned looting. Oh, and they'll probably keep an eye open for Sergei guy just in case he has a clue about what is actually going on here. Mackie strikes a pose in his brand new rich dude robe before finding an extremely valuable - and potentially dangerous - black box. Meanwhile Hilde finally finds a way to tap into the ship's main systems and Anton strikes out in the loot department. A secret panel reveals the e

With Mackie on the run from Hilde, Anton finally gets a moment to himself. Unfortunately, that moment very quickly descends into either a futuristic hockey game or an all out brawl, possibly both! A call from upstairs yanks the crew back on track as they continue to work out just why exactly the mysterious Mr. Cho got them to Aegea.

Anton repeatedly tries to explain the difference between an invite to party and an invite to A party while Hilde tries to figure out how to fit in.

While Hilde tries to save the artifact from non-academic hands, Anton continues to question her presence on the ship.
