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.

This week Team Meatbag discovers the price of being friendly to strangers in space. Oh, and also we get to do more exploring, which is still very neat and definitely not overshadowed by the big oopsy…

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'…
