S1E03: Past Prologue; S1E04: A Man Alone
Past Prologue: This episode really gets going as the first post-pilot plot. Bashir is an amazingly dumb twink. Sisco's default setting is "Fuck the Cardassians". Jude loves a sexy lizard.
Issue 11: Risk, Issue 12: Hidden Role
Risk: Chuck's luck only stretches so far. The daughter reveal is a hammer blow. Neither Justen nor Jude should play poker. Every page in DIE is a piece of art. The joy that comes from a party adopting an NPC. RIP Fordi la George.
Hidden Role: It's not like Molly can die worse. Human Centipede Orobouros.
S1E01-02: Emissary
Remember Wolf 359? Benjamin Sisko sure does! We meet all the oddballs and non-Federation characters (purportedly to get around various Roddenberry rules). Jude contemplates the non-orb-shaped-orb. Wormhole shenanigans! Religion! Ear Stuff! Sisko is Captain Dad.
Your last stop for trash in the Alpha Quadrant
This is now a Star Trek podcast.
Yes, after covering JMS's one-sided slapfight with DS9, we are now covering DS9. Get ready for lots of warcrimes airhorn.
Issue 9: Self-Insert, Issue 10: The X-Card
Jude uses scrum in RPGs.
Self-Insert: Charlotte Bronte? We start to get some answers, for what that's worth. Worldbuilding! What is an RPG? Children are sociopaths.
The X-Card: Fate can only bend around one person.
Issue 7: Wisdom Check Issue 8: Legacy Heroes
Mysteries in RPGs are hard to do.
Wisdom Check: Leroooy Jenkiiins! Chuck continues to be the worst, and we enjoy not enjoying him. Except for Jude, Jude just hates him. Charisma isn't appearance. Mistress Woe would be Jude's patron saint.
Issue 5: Premise Rejection Issue 6: The Grind
BabPod: DIE is a production of the Okay, So network.
Issue 5: Premise Rejection
Issue 6: The Grind
Premise Rejection: Humanitarian crises are a usual outcome of RPG parties, right?
DIE Issues 3 and 4
cw: monster fucking
Loooong deviation on the White Rat series. A big ol' dotted line between the horrors of war and Warhammer 40k. The inverse-Spider-man power question of "with great power comes great moral hazard." Charlotte Bronte??? Are all wizards nasty?
Comics are not struck work, so please join us for DIE Issues 1 and 2
CW: Eye trauma
Honestly we probably should just cross-brand this with Athrabeth.
We talk a bit about the philosophy of RPGs and our personal histories. Jude claims Jenga mastery. We all have seven sets of math rocks, minimum. How do you pronounce "Geas"?
Please listen and read the show notes.
Hello, and welcome to the Babylon Podject. We are not talking about any episodes today, because earlier this week SAG-AFTRA released new guides to podcasters with relation to their strike. The guidelines for this rule defines rewatch podcasts as struck work. This is confusing because as both fanwork and critical content, we would not think this applies to
