    We're a consistently irreverent podcast, but some things really do matter. Though we're just a bunch of idiots playing D&D (in space) and sticking the recordings on the internet for 'entertainment' purposes, this is something we all feel strongly about. In response to recent events, we'd like to release a brief message of support and solidarity. An episode will be uploaded as usual next week. All our love, and best wishes, Jon Coleman Aaron Madray Mike Cole  Tom Owen Tom Kirk

    The crew stock up and fly out on a (poorly kept) secret mission. In the latest episode of Espersito, the GM wastes a beautiful voice on a one-off character during a shopping spree, Dumas attempts questionable crafting techniques to produce some special ammunition, and Dora meets an old friend with incredibly thematic naming conventions. Join us as we discuss Zork, spread the good word of Universal Paper Clips, discover Guthrim’s kinks, and discuss the most memorable of Marvel villains!

    Dumas, Hud, Dora, and Rebook return to the Dwarven flotilla as somewhat unlikely heroes. Having saved more lives than they could ever have imagined, our crew of adventurers must now embark on an even more dangerous mission, with even more at stake. Celebrations are thrown, candidates for medals are snubbed, shady dealings go down, and a meteoric (and probably ill-advised) promotion is awarded!  Please note, that due to technical difficulties / incompetence, this episode is shorter than usual, and partially in a different format. I hope this does not impair your enjoyment of the drama.

    As the dwarves make their idiotically expedited exodus, an epic battle rages both within, and in the skies above the spaceport. With a flotilla of ships ready to escape the spaceport, and a number of inventive traps Home-Aloned to protect the defenders*, our adventurers must fight to try and save as many dwarves as possible. This may prove difficult, with interruptions from co-workers and partners, digressions regarding Hud’s sunglasses and Dumas’ milkshake, and the GM recounting the time he was almost within the same general area as Will Smith. Revel in the highs and lows of the GM’s wildly inconsistent rolling! Experience the jarring tonal whiplash of interspacing horrific loss of life with immature dick jokes! Listen to grown men discuss nerdy pillow talk, and say ‘pew pew’ far too many times in one sitting! In this fight-tastic iteration of… Espersito! * Honestly, the traps are rad (quite literally, in one case), but I lost the audio where we set them up. I’m so sorry.
