Episode 111: Lightening Crystals in the Hard Wired Hinterland

High atop of might airship we scout for the best ways to expoit those wonderous devices:  The Lightening Crystals.  In the Hard Wired Hinterland you can use them to steal up to 90% of an object's weight.  From there it is a short leap to squirrel suits and Buck Rodgers jetpacks. We are joined by Richard and Melody Tucholka who reveal upcoming projects and inside secrets to Tri Tac Games.

Episode 108: Bangor Maine Pt 3

This week we finish our discussion of Bureau 13's primary training, reliquery, and dangerous supernatural containment facility.  We concentrate on the last 2 parts this week. What kinds of objects must be hidden away and destroyed? What kind of creatures cannot be redeemed?  And what do you do if they cannot be contained?

Episode 105: Tziel - Fringeworthy Race developed

This week we continue our series on the Fringeworthy Races with the Tziel, a lizard men like race.  Trav, John, and Bruce delve into their culture, biology, and birthing practices to bring them far above the easy cliche of the stalward native companion. This was a lot of fun and a lot of surprises.  Thanks for all the questions.

Episode 104: Super Rich Characters Part 2

This week we finish our discussion about how to play Super Rich characters in your games, how they can transform a game, support the party, and generally bring the awesome. Then we have a special segment where we detail most of the gencon 2012 sessions in Indianapolis.  Plus for no additional charge, we have an interview with Richard Tucholka detailing his new releases scheduled for Gencon, including the very first Canadian space rpg! How can our prices be this low?  Then get this:  Richard Tucholka will personally be running 2 game sessions at Gencon.  Be one of the lucky ones to get into his game sessions.  They will knock your socks off!

Episode 103: Super Rich Characters part 1

This week we have Eric from the Travcast telling us how to run awesome super rich characters.  Next week we will conclude with answering a comment from our facebook page about this and how to implement super rich characters in your campaigns and game systems.

Episode 102: Bureau 13 through the Ages Part 2

This week we continue our exploration on how to run Bureau 13 in different eras in its history.  We go from the 1920's to the future. One correction is there was 2 published artifically enhanced human pieces.  The Augumented Man, Hells Night by Richard Tucholka is the best reference.  The Battle Body Implants, Stalking the Steel City by Bruce Sheffer was not a complete adventure but was a character addition to Bureau 13 lore. We will be doing more elaborate podcasts on these eras in the future.  Please feel free to contact us on what questions you have or areas you wish us to elaborate in those podcasts.

Episode 100: Everyone Getting Their Wish

Welcome to our 100th episode and our 3rd Christmas special. This week we pose the question:  Can everyone on the planet get their dearest wish fulfilled all at once (or at least on the same day)? Then we continue into banter about what we think was our best episode so far and what we bring to the podcast community that the others don't.

Episode 99: Bureau 13 Basic Equipment part 2

Welcome back to our last double digit episode.  We continue to discuss the basic, essential equipment needed for every bureau 13 investigation.  Be sure to listen next week for our Christmas Episode which is also our 100th episode. Thanks for all the support.

Episode 98: Basic Bureau 13 Equipment

This week we begin our coverage of basic Bureau 13 equipment loadouts.  What should be used and available in a modern supernatural espionage investigation?  Blix is out but pops in for a second. We have an audio issue this episode.  Sorry but this is the best we can do.  Future episodes will be much better.

Episode 97: Adventuring during a Disaster 4

This week we conclude our series on setting an adventure during a disaster.  We gush about floods and water damage.  Then we raise our eyes to the heavens as Death from Above descends on us.  Space catastrophes. We may continue this series with a final episode on disasters caused by man seeking things he was not meant to know.  Let us know if you are interested.
