Hands down the best group of weirdos ever to do it. By "it" I mean attend Cat Girl High School.
Podcast Addict5a year agobuckaroobonzaiExcellent cast with a really fun story, give it a listen, or don't, I'm not your supervisor.
Podcast Addict52 years agoDoubleDeckerTacoWeMissYou- Great execution of a great game!!
Stars without number is one of the best sci fi tabletop rpg games out there and the crew aboard the Admiral Grace do a fantastic job bringing it to life!! The player characters are as witty and charming as the players themselves. Many thanks to star daddy Stan and the astronomica crew!

started to listen to for the first time, within 60 secs i hear the word transphobe and bigot. no thanks i thought i was listening to something about math
Apple Podcasts1Haken69United States2 years ago The highlight of my Wednesday every week. Stan's universe is well written out, the players are fantastic and do a wonderful job portraying interesting characters who have surprising depth (It took me a bit to warm up to Chris after Cullen left, but he keeps proving he belongs) and as part of a ttrpg group who is perpetually side tracked, and derailed it really hits home. Love it, and have even borrowed Hopper and Mackey for my own game, hope y'all don't mind.
