S3 Ep 58135 - Suck That Bad Boy Straight to Hell

Now that Hell has one more Bad Boy, what say we see about a distant dot? Intro Transcript "You're telling me the Whisper in Bronze herself came to you in a dream. Hundreds of years ago. Before you were born." "No. I mean, kind of. It's all muddled--it was Brigh, but it wasn't. And she was magnificent. She wanted to protect me, or protect everyone…." The description went on and on, full of loops and contradictions and confusion. Brother Behrak watched the android, and animated as he'd ever seen her, while she puzzled through this revelation out loud. And it wasn't that he didn't believe that some other version of her had actually met a god so much that he didn't understand it. Almost nothing his dear friend ever said or did made sense to him really, but he guessed that was sort of her curse. It was obvious Casandalee had some sort of gift for prophecy--but it was rarely clear what direction her visions were going. He didn't envy her one bit. And he did what he could to help, though helping was mostly just sitting there and nodding while she raved without pause. Still…it did seem like she was closing in on something. At least, some of the time. "So, if I'm right, it's up in Avistan. I'm going to need to get permission from the High Clockmother for a few days off for research--you'll come with me, of course. We're going to need maps. It must be a thousand miles away! Maybe more! Can you imagine--I mean, the world is so huge, and if I'm right, I've seen a huge piece of it already, I just need to remember." Behrak stopped smiling. He wasn't sure when he'd agreed to take time away from his duties helping maintain Alkenstar City's impossibly complex system of clockworks in order to research…Avistan? He realized now that he must have drifted off and stopped paying attention. What did Casandalee need those maps for? --------------------- We encourage you to check out our Patreon and/or Ko-Fi, as they've got sweet sweet benefits and also you can help us get to our goals--we're making great progress towards full episode transcripts!

bonus

It's the triumphant return of Machine Learning! No time has passed since the last time we did one of these, so let's jump in the "not far back at all" machine to recap some episodes from near the end of book 2, when absolutely nothing bad happened specifically to Vaargas. BIG SPECIAL THINGS Our Hopefinder Third Party Kon game with special guest GM Jason Bulmahn drops today! The creator of Pathfinder 2e and Hopefinder (a Pathfinder 2e hack) will be running the game he made through a one-shot he wrote on 2/19 at 2:00 EST (and whatever that time correlates to for you. Wherever you are.) We'll have a podcast version of it up later...but you're going to want to see this on the big screen. Or the small screen. The screen part is the thing I'm emphasizing. Check out https://www.pf2events.com/schedule for more details, and all the other great events that are going to be part of this convention, and maybe check out some of the independent, third party content that's going to be showcased there! Jeff and Sam will be joining Steve and Griffin from Hideous Laughter Productions on The Zone of Truth on 2/27! They'll be talking Iron Gods, taking questions from the audience, and probably not revealing how many cats Sam has. Hop into the Hideous Laughter discord server to pose your questions, and check out the episode on their main feed next week. ALSO! Network Against the Machine Patreon slash Ko-Fi are changing for the be better. Last year we hit a couple big goals, attaining self sufficiency for podcast expenses, and opening up the aforementioned bonus games, which have really rattled some peanuts. This year, we’re going to turn things up a bit. More benefits, basically—more reasons to support the pod and network that fights against machines so you don’t have to. Thought, I mean, you still have to fight against the Machine, probably. But that’s for later, you know, when the revolution comes. In the mean time: fun podcast stuff! We want to make sure that we’re providing value to those of you who are willing and able to support us on a month-to-month basis, but we also want to make sure that we’re not unduly locking people out of content they might enjoy because of their economic circumstances. There’s a needle to thread here—and we are always open to hearing feedback on how we’re doing. $2 – The Glaucite tier When you join this tier, you already get access to original music on our crowdfunding sites, plus Discord role access, but now you’re also going to get a thank you on our website—you know, since we thank you for supporting us. But the biggest change here is that we’re adding a Patreon podcast feed, and it’s going to be available to everyone who supports us. Well, what’s going to be on this feed? The Story Machine. We’re going to start releasing a Story Machine on this feed every month, starting with our first multi-part story, “Foul and Fair,” beginning at the end of March. We’re going to have a new crowdfunding goal to up that rate to every other week in the future. If you can’t afford to join in on our crowdfunding, don’t fret! We don’t want to lock you out of these stories—transcripts of them are still going to be available on our website. $5 – The Adamantine tier You get all of your existing benefits, including The B.R.I.A.N. Identity maps, the stuff described in the previous tier, and the new benefit: you’re going to get a chance to name characters and places in new Story Machine arcs, and/or Gootube flavors. Here’s how this is going to work: for the first part of Foul and Fair, for instance, we have eight character slots and two places up for names. Have a PC name you’d like to see immortalized in audio and text form, or a brilliant idea for a tavern, a shop, that sort of thing? If you’re at the Adamantine tier and above, send it over to us via Discord or email or the built-in messaging thing in Patreon, however works for you. We’ll work as many names as we can into the stories, and when they appear you get a credit in the show notes, in the transcript, and in the audio credits. If you’d rather throw us an absurd flavor combination to upset Izzy with, you can send those to us as well, and we’ll find ways to work them in. For some reason, those tasty, goopy containers just keep coming up. $10 – The Djezet tier All the stuff listed before this, plus Skymedal dedications, and we always need more of those. The more dedications we have, the more Skymedals the cast gets. There’s a mea culpa due at this tier—we’ve promised you an out-loud, personalized expression of gratitude on a Machine Learning and those haven't happened. We're very sorry about that! Starting next ML episode, the wrong will be rectified. As far as new stuff goes, we’re going to share with you eBook and/or PDF versions of The B.R.I.A.N. Identity adventures so you’ll have everything you need to run them in your home game, and eBook and/or PDF versions of some of our Story Machine stories. In that case, once part 1 of “Foul and Fair” is all up on the
