In this episode, scrutiny accelerates the Frontispiece Four's plans for Overthree, and things start to get both complicated and dicey in the process... This episode was still in the period where Nik was having audio issues we didn't discover until later, so while we've tried to make it as invisible as possible, there is a stretch at the end that just lacks Nik entirely, much to our chagrin.

Welcome to the after-show, patrons and other listeners alike! Since we're releasing this one-shot to make up for not having the 1 Feb Borrowed Light episode we were supposed to have... Still, we hope you enjoy listening to us continue being quite silly!

We bring you this one-shot from the meat-locker to cover for issues getting the next Borrowed Light out on time... or at all... Some of the audio has been massaged, but still isn't easy to hear -- fortunately, because the game this time is no-top-to-be-over math-em-up TEN MILLION HP PLANET, so lots of what there is to hear is the most exciting thing of all: MATH!

Our Punks explore their neighborhood some more as preparations are completed, and the much-ballyhooed auction begins... This episode is also more lightly edited than most, but hopefully, it's not to the detriment of its enjoyability, and perhaps Adam will get to clean it up more in the future! As the poet once said...

Having gotten the gang together somewhat reluctantly, they now start to prepare to disrupt a dangerous auction with a mix of caution, distrust, care, and tomfoolery! This one was a real crunch to get edited and posted (late) thanks to IRL things, so it's more lightly edited than most, with more background noise, more dead air, that sort of thing.

Welcome to our second full campaign, "Borrowed Light," playing Hard Wired Island by Paul Matijevic, Freyja Erlingsdottir, and Minverva McJanda! This is our session zero -- basically a planning session we've recorded and put in the feed as part demonstration, part explanation, part preparation, and part revelation (by which I mean, it's kind of a type of Dice Peeks in feel, which is why it doesn't have its own Peeks in the Patreon feed). We hope this episode is entertaining, informative, and useful going forward into the campaign, and we hope you enjoy the official start of Borrowed Light in episode 2.1 - People of GPol, posting shortly!

Welcome to the after-show, patrons and other listeners alike! Since we're releasing one-shots to tide you over while we rebuild our buffer of Hard Wired Island episodes, and our Patreon is currently paused, we're putting the Peeks for Exiles here and on our Patreon's public feed -- we hope you enjoy this look at what could be yours twice a month if you support us with real, actual dollars!

This one-shot in Ben Klug's moody, contemplative game of item descriptions, Exiles, is a somber, silent, GM-less journey into the bleak world and fractured history of four wanderers in darkened lands... This month's in-between one-shot is a different kind of thing than we've done so far, a lot quieter, in both literal and figurative senses. We hope you enjoy it; it was very rewarding to record! The intended experience of these in-between one-shots in March and April 2024 is to be a little woolier, so we hope you still enjoy them -- and look in the main feed for the Dice Peeks after-show, since these are being released while our Patreon is temporarily paused! We are still bringing you our Hard Wired Island campaign, Borrowed Light -- and in fact, this episode is ever so slightly late going up due to recording toward our buffer for that campaign! As the poet once said... "The Arsonist" by Thrice. Exiles is by Ben Klug. Cover art by Joanne, aka AnythingSews!

This one-shot in Erika Chappell's short, bloody, hilarious SALVATION: Blessed are the Ultraviolent will probably stand for some time as our most indulgently excessive one-shot! If you're familiar with "Conflictmallet 4x10^4," you'll probably recognize some things, including some of the effects work Adam has done in the edit... The intended experience of these in-between one-shots in March and April 2024 is to be a little woolier, so we hope you still enjoy them -- and look in the main feed for the Dice Peeks after-show, since these are being released while our Patreon is temporarily paused!

Give this peek into the eldritch alternate origins of the stage musical a listen to find out exactly how many buckets of blood it takes to put on a show!

Welcome back to the Extreme Meatpunks Forever universe, and to the Drew-GM-ed adventures of Viz, Bill, and Rad! This is the first of a two-part continuation from our one-shot using the pre-publication version of Heather Flowers and Aura Belle's TTRPG, so look forward to the exciting conclusion next time! Content warnings are given by Drew at the beginning, but include: body horror, dysmorphia, dismemberment, political violence, and gore. As he notes, we're not being edgelords, that's just the stuff you can expect when meatpunks and fash clash! Check out Extreme Meatpunks Forever, the TTRPG and the video games!

In this episode, the players and Hollyhock God of the Nightfall campaign look back on the last two years of podcasting, and have a wide-ranging, Q&A session with some Dice Peeks energy and discussion thrown in. We hope you enjoy it! As the poet said… “The End of the Rope” by They Might Be Giants. "Cliffhanger Fanfare," “Theme of the Dice Punks” and its acoustic version by Drew Messinger-Michaels."

Welcome to the after-show, patrons and all other listeners alike! To celebrate the end of our first full campaign, we're putting the finale episodes' Dice Peeks in the main feed -- we hope you enjoy it! It does start off punchy, and keeps going punchy, but we hope you'll enjoy the weird energy, and the peek behind the scenes -- and if you do, look forward to our next regular episode, which is a full-campaign retrospective! And hey, thank you to our patrons, who have supported us with actual dollars, allowing us to buy recording & editing software, audio equipment, and TTRPG books & systems, including our next big adventure, Hard Wired Island!

In this episode, our Nobilis pursue the end of gods, and whatever may come next... Scheduling Note: This episode is the final part of a marathon, nearly-12-hour recording session we Punks did to give Nightfall the send-off it deserves. The first part was posted on 1 September 2023, and this true, for-real-this-time last episode of Nightfall is going live between regularly scheduled updates, as soon as life allowed us to finish the editing on it -- thanks for your patience! We'll also be putting these finale episodes' combined Dice Peeks after-show in the main feed, for all to enjoy! After that, for 15 September, we'll be posting a retrospective episode covering the whole campaign. 1 & 15 October will be our… triumphant? …return to Extreme Meatpunks Forever (GMed once more by the inimitable Drew!), and we'll have something special for you on HALLOWEEN! Finally, Des's Unknown Armies miniseries will begin airing on November 15th, and our next full campaign, Hard Wired Island, will begin after that. Check out REIGN and Nobilis! As the poet said… “Punk Rock Never Happened” by Dash Rip Rock. “Theme of the Dice Punks” and its acoustic version by Drew Messinger-Michaels. Art and editing by Joanne Spotswood.

In this episode, our Nobilis make a great start of the daunting task of ending the war between the gods, one way or another... Scheduling Note: This episode is the first part of a marathon, nearly-12-hour recording session we Punks did to give Nightfall the send-off it deserves. During that, we identified a few good potential stopping points where the episode could be split up if needed, since editing 12ish hours of four people's audio is a task it's hard to predict the duration of. And it's good we did, because despite planning ahead, life has prevented Joanne and Adam from getting the whole thing ready for airtime by the day this goes live, September 1st! That said, we want to avoid making our wonderful listeners wait a whole half a month to hear the rest if we're at all able, so here's the plan: This first part is for you to enjoy right this instant, the next part will go up as soon as it's ready, and we'll be putting these finale episodes' combined Dice Peeks after-show in the main feed, for all to enjoy! After that, for September 15th, we'll be posting a retrospective episode covering the whole campaign. October 1st and 15th will be our… triumphant? …return to Extreme Meatpunks Forever (GMed once more by the inimitable Drew!), and we'll have something special for you on HALLOWEEN! Finally, Des's Unknown Armies miniseries will begin airing on November 15th, and our next full campaign, Hard Wired Island, will begin after that. Check out REIGN and Nobilis!
