Transcript This week, now that the part of season 3 that was funded by Kickstarter is over, I've got a treat for you: the backers-only bonus episode with Mikey Hamm, designer of Slugblaster. You didn't think I was gonna just hold on to an episode this good forever, did you? It's the show's namesake mechanic! Mikey is currently Kickstarting Two-Hand Path, a solo game roll-and-write dungeon crawler. Check it out. While I thought this episode would be a big of a goof about a goofy mechanic (and it is), it also brought out some of the most thoughtful thoughts on deploying mechanics with precision and purpose that I've had on the show yet. Also, we had a blast. A slug blast.

This week on Exploding Dice, the team continues to dive into their greatest loves: breakfast. Also, things just don't seem to be in ... Look up to the skies, heroes! Nothing to see here!patreon.com/geekioshow@geek-io.nettwitter.com/geekioshowfacebook.com/geekioshow

It's back to school season for the Gatewatch! Certainly nothing at all wrong can go happening when group visit college old El's! Join us this week on Exploding dice where we find out what angers our players more than stairs! Hey! Look at the sun! ... wait, why is it so dark?

The gang is hitting the streets, trying to find out what's going on with their friends, and get some answers of their own. The crew decide to hit up some old haunts and scrounge up some answers. Is Rickas palling around with someone special? What's going on with the food? This episode won't be forgettable!

This week, the team gather back together as a whole. Some questions are answered, and some are opened even further. The gang's all hear, and it's a wild ride!

With the first wave of battles over, it's time for our intrepid heroes to take a much-deserved break! There are a lot of loose ends to tie up, questions to answer, and... breakfast pastries? Will Zee and Katrijn ever make it out of their office? What will El make next? Will Jec ever get that drink? And who is Kevin, and what does he have to do with all this? Find out this week on Exploding Dice!

We get to the exciting conclusion of our sewer adventure and deal with the consequences on this episode of Exploding Dice.

Once again, the dance of life and death begins. The group, stronger and fuller than ever, faces a threat that could be the end of everything. Old friends show new faces, and new friends show they are not to be trifled with. Not everyone with a happy ending, though… More questions than answers this week!

Who would have thought that sewers were miserable places? Who would have thought mad science was evil? Who would have thought that a Chaos Mage was a bad tour guide? This week the whole force of the Gatewatch faces their biggest enemies: walls.

Family issues are the pits…. After cleaning up the beef, they then get introduced to a new, fascinating, interesting, exciting person from El’s past. The team gets bigger, and a major job for the Gatewatch shows itself.

Man, stairs are so much fun, right? We are changing the name of this podcast to the Staircast soon, just stay tuned! *cough* Anyway, the players realize they are a little short on people who can make fun of Rickas, so they suddenly remember they have two other team members to check in on! How are Team Nature doing? Witch one is going to lose it? This week on Exploding Dice: Stair into the abyss and it will stair back.

Let me Telle you a tale, shall I? The team, battered, bruised, and nearly defeated, have discovered something nefarious. Hunted, scared, they are required to accept help from a darker source.

It’s time for a Nightscape Knockdown! Life and death dance among the flames, who will come out on top? Who will be on the bottom?

At the door to the Nightscape, the gang are immediately presented with a very large problem. To which, there is a simple solution. They are surrounded by enemies and lawlessness, will the crew find the information they require? Or will this turn into a different kind of party?

The Gatewatch begins their first investigation, but first, lunch! Let’s paint a picture on a wall, a group of reluctant friends trying to find their way to a place where none of them know, how will they get there? What forms will they have to jump through? First, they must face their first real opponent: PUBLIC TRANSIT! Turn green with envy, we’re going places, people.
