Podcast appearances and mentions of Jonah M Jackson

Previously, our heroes dealt with some of the aftermath of The Big Snag. After a debrief at Dedenny's, Pearl and Luca (along with Detective Reynolds, Louis, and Professor Nichols) are going to take a closer look at the Team Smoke Lab. What other strange experiments have they been working on? What do they hope to achieve? And will there be shenanigans to lighten the mood?? GM: Jonah M.

In the aftermath of The Big Snag, our heroes have some loose ends to tie up. The battle turned out in Pearl and friends' favor, but was this as thorough a victory as it seems? Questions remain: What is happening with Professor Nichols and the Salvatores down in the lab? What was Team Nasty up to while this all went down? And what did the smoke on the roof actually do??

Previously, Pearl and Luca faced off against each other in the final round of the Crimini City Fighting Tournament. With Fanta and Jackie Cham of Team Punch triumphing over Toofus and Maximilian of Teen Squad, nothing stands between Pearl and her exhibition match with Leroy, except... whatever these mysterious baddies are plotting! Will Pearl make through it her entire battle against the Gym Leader? What are Leroy and his suspicious allies plotting? Where is Sully? And how does Pearl expect to get the Swing Badge with all this other nonsense going on?? GM: Jonah M.

Pearl and Luca have been whisked away to a whimsical (or maybe not-so-whimsical) winter wonderland where everything looks like claymation in this episode inspired by classic Rankin/Bass Christmas specials! It seems that Danny Delibird has summoned them here for some unknown purpose... What's wrong in the all-Pokémon settlement of Velvet Foot Village? What is the pseudo-mayoral authoritarian figure up to? Can our heroes save Christmas through the power of friendship?? GM: Jonah M.

Previously, Pearl and Luca both advanced to the fourth and final round of the Crimini City Fighting Tournament! Maximilian hit hard, but Brian's Wobbuffet took him down with it! Pearl kept her cool as Fanta triumphed over Shane's Sliggoo and Kadabra! And Toofus gave all he had against Hitmonlee and Hitmontop to get Luca the win over The Man! Now the best friends must face off against each other. Who will get a chance to fight the Gym Leader? What will this mean for their plans? And what is happening outside of this arena?? GM: Jonah M.

Last time, Pearl and Luca advanced through the bracket of the Crimini City Fighting Tournament, making it past the first round! Luca's Teen Squad stayed strong against Tom's Krusty Krew and Jackie Cham made Pearl and Team Punch proud as she annihilated Jasper's Fancy Lads! Now the rest of round two awaits - will Luca outsmart Brian and Team Punching Bag? Who else will advance to round three?

Previously, Pearl and the rest of the team in the Noibatcave figured out a plan for the Crimini City Fighting Tournament... to the best of their ability. With some factors still unknown (like the whereabouts of the still-missing Sully), they went with their gut and set their pieces in place. Now the Tournament is here, and Pearl has already advanced to the second round! But will Luca join her as she advances through the bracket? What challenging foes await? What Pokémon will taste the glory of victory? And will anyone absolutely choke under the pressure?? GM: Jonah M.

Previously, Detective Reynolds spent the night sneaking around the city's shady underbelly with Louis as they searched for more intel about what is being planned for the Fighting Tournament as well as clues to Sully's whereabouts. After calling in some reinforcements, they find themselves back in the Noibatcave ready for an early morning meeting. What will our heroes plan to stop the dastardly deeds already set in motion? Will the children be able to hold their own in the Fighting Tournament? And will Pearl please get out of bed so that this meeting can get started?? GM: Jonah M.

It's Elmer and Zilla's first Halloween, so Pearl and Luca have decided to take them out for a night of frightful fun at Crimini City's most highly-rated haunted attraction: Father Spooky's Creepy Emporium! This museum full of haunted knick-knacks may seem freaky, but their tour guide is sure to be even freakier!  DM: Jonah M.

Previously, Luca and Sully went to the Crimini City Gym to sign Luca up for the Fighting Tournament and gather information. After checking into a hotel room, Sully decided to stay behind and attempt to establish herself as a double agent. As night comes, Pearl and Luca may be getting ready to settle in, but Detective Reynolds won't be getting much sleep tonight. What will Reynolds discover as he explores beneath the city streets? Will he find out what Sully has been up to this afternoon? And will Reynolds and Louis ever get to just hang out?? DM: Jonah M.

Previously, Pearl and Detective Reynolds (aka "Uncle Ryan") went to the Crimini City Gym to register Pearl for the Fighting Tournament. After settling on a team, Pearl convinced an unsuspecting security guard to give her a tour and she managed to hack into the building's security cameras. Now it's Luca and Sully's turn, and they've got some tricks up their sleeve. Who will Luca register on his tournament team? What will they discover in their investigation?

Previously, Pearl and the gang all reconnected in Detective Reynolds' Noibatcave and began to plan for the Fighting Tournament. After getting some crucial intel from Ringo, our heroes are setting out to make the most of this last day before the tournament by preparing and gathering as much info as they can! Which Pokémon will Pearl register for her tournament team? Can she and Reynolds find a way into the Gym's security office? And can Pearl convincingly fake having bowel problems?? DM: Jonah M.

Pearl, Luca, and Sully's arrival into Crimini City was not as friendly as they'd hoped it would be. Immediately after entering the city limits, they were accosted by members of Team Nasty and Ringo got away! At least, they thought he did! But now, with a new unlikely ally on the inside and old allies reconnecting, our heroes are gearing up for whatever is happening at the Fighting Tournament. Where in Crimini City could Detective Reynolds have found a safe place to stay? Is Professor Nichols doing alright? And how long can Sarah and Jonah discuss musical theatre in one episode??

Previously, Pearl and Luca battled against Hawlucha and Ditto in the ruins of Old Crimini to prove they were strong enough to become the Pokémon's new trainers. After the angsty bird and sentient pink blob agreed to come along, our heroes finally arrived in Crimini City. What secrets lurk in the shadows of this hazy city? Do its bright lights and attractions hide something more sinister? And what do you mean walking through dark alleys to avoid crowds isn't safe?? DM: Jonah M.

Previously, Pearl and Luca tested their mettle against a Machoke and Primeape in Mr. Leftovers' Pokemon Colosseum and came out on top with Mudslide, Pebble and Maximilian! After receiving their prizes from the trash-filled Reuniclus, they encountered the Hawlucha and Ditto duo who had previously lost their fight in the arena. After talking with Darla, the Pokémon agreed to a battle to see if they would come along with Pearl and Luca. Will these companions find a place with the Cuddle Bunch and Teen Squad? Will they prove their honor in battle? And will our heroes finally make it to Crimini City?? DM: Jonah M.

Previously, Pearl and Luca made their way into the ruins of Old Crimini with Sully and Ringo. After encountering a couple of unfriendly inhabitants in the seeming ghost town, they realized there was some sort of activity happening in one of the few standing buildings among the city's ruins. Now that they've stumbled into some sort of Pokémon-led fighting arena, our heroes are in a tight spot! Will Pearl and Luca make it away from the mob of angry Pokémon unscathed? Will they compete for prizes and glory? And what's the deal with the floating blob of Jell-O running the show?? DM: Jonah M.

Previously, Pearl and Luca (along with their chaperone and imprisoned outlaw) found themselves at the Lonely Oasis, the last remnant of the former Crimini Lake. They encountered a couple of rowdy new Pokémon friends and got some rest for the evening. Now, they continue their journey to Crimini City, approaching Old Crimini and the ruins of the original city. What Pokémon call this ghost town home? What secrets lie in the dilapidated remains of this ancient settlement? And will Pearl actually be sneaky for once?? DM: Jonah M.

Previously, Pearl and Luca continued their trek across the southern Podostroma Plains with Sully and Ringo in tow, continuing toward Crimini City. Along the way, our heroes battled a couple of bodacious bovines! We now find our crew approaching potential shelter for the evening, but remaining wary of the area's current inhabitants. What Pokémon call this mysterious locale home? Will our heroes find out what other stories this place holds? And is it Pearl's turn to stumble across a long-lost relative?? DM: Jonah M.

Previously, Pearl, Luca, and Sully finished their mystical experience at the Solar Cairn as the group of guardian Darmanitan dragged Ringo back for questioning. Afterward, Ninetales tasked our heroes with carrying the Radiant Stone so that it could take its true form and return to where it belongs. And to help them, she gave Darla and Maximilian the ability to talk! With a new quest and a new captive, our crew resumes their journey to Crimini City! What distractions lie along the way? What shady acts might their fugitive attempt? And has someone finally made Pearl keep up with her dental hygeine??  DM: Jonah M.

Well, it always feels bittersweet to reach the end of a semester, but today is our last meeting of this lecture series on The Keepers. I hope you have been filling out your study guides. We last left Virgil and Jacques in the dark and dreary depths of the Chaga Mines following their battle against the Malamar known as the Cunning Serpent. Having rescued all but one of the missing people of Amanita Town, Team Catapult convinced Pandora to allow them to search the remainder of the mine for the last abducted resident. But a sinister power still lurks in the shadows of the cave, a dark passenger carried by the unaware Jacques. Can Virgil guide his beloved companion back to the surface? Will our young initiates find what they're searching for to complete their mission? And what will be revealed if our heroes once again find themselves in the light of day?

**This episode was recorded before 3/1/2021. The game system used in this episode is no longer being played on current recordings of the podcast.** Last time, Pearl, Luca, and Sully made their way to the Solar Cairn. Upon arriving at their destination and attempting to access its power, they realized they were not alone. Angel Mooney, now riding with a gang, appeared with the intention of destroying the cairn and stealing what was inside! Now that Mooney is gone, our heroes have some questions for his captured companion. What did Mooney want with the cairn? Who is his gang working for?

I hope you've been studying because our final is rapidly approaching. We are getting ever closer to the end of this lecture series on the Keepers, and the events we cover today will definitely be on the test. We last left Virgil and Jacques in the Chaga Mine with Pandora, searching for the missing villagers in what they believe to be the home of the Gliscor and Drapion. As our heroes descended into the mine, they came across a horde of Gligar along with other evidence of the predators' habitation. But as Team Catapult investigates this supposedly abandoned butte, a dark presence beckons to them from deeper within. What lurks in the shadows of the Chaga Mine? What horrors must our young heroes face next? And will Virgil find the key he's searching for? Let's find out in our latest installment… Cunning Serpent! DM: Jonah M.

The game system used in this episode is no longer being played on current recordings of the podcast.** Previously, Pearl and Luca spent some time training with Sully at her home in the Podostroma Plains. As a reward for their efforts, Sully's Oranguru, Tang, taught some special new moves to members of The Cuddle Bunch and Teen Squad. A new day has come, and since our heroes are still ahead of schedule with their travel plans, Sully is taking them to see the Solar Cairn. How old is this mysterious monument?

The game system used in this episode is no longer being played on current recordings of the podcast.** Alright class, settle down and make your way to your seats. Today we are continuing our lecture series on the Keepers - we are nearing the end of this semester, and we've still got some big events to cover. After leaving the Artisan's Alley with an array of new clothes and accessories for their Pokémon, Virgil, Jacques, and Pandora are now preparing to find and investigate the home of the Gliscor and Drapion. Hoping to get an answer as to what amplified the violent nature of these dreadful beasts, Team Catapult and chaperone have decided to investigate the rock formation near the destroyed merchant's cart and the mysterious butte that was revealed through Jacques' visions. How have these creatures affected the rest of the desert residents? What unexpected encounters may happen as our heroes conduct their investigation? And how scary could a monster lair really be?

The game system used in this episode is no longer being played on current recordings of the podcast.** Previously, Pearl and Luca camped out on the Podostroma Plains while making their way towards Crimini City. During the night, they were ambushed by predators of the wilds who hoped to make our heroes into a quick snack! After defeating and capturing two of the beasts, they settled back in to finish their night's rest. With the morning's arrival, Pearl and Luca have stumbled upon an old friend of the Salvatores. Who is this Aunt Sully? How many people does Luca even know? And what's this big monkey up to?? DM: Jonah M.

**This episode was recorded before 3/1/2021. The game system used in this episode is no longer being played on current recordings of the podcast.** Hello everyone, settle in please. We are continuing our lecture series on the Keepers today, following Team Catapult's dealings the morning after the Showdown at Low Noon. Late in the night, Jacques found himself in his strange dream realm once more, his focus being pulled toward a large formation in the Deathcap Desert - a butte with an odd glow about it. With questions lingering about the origin of the predatory Pokémon, our heroes are set to investigate this mysterious locale. But before that, our young Initiates have decided that it would be best to investigate the local market first, because merchants usually know things. And so we find Virgil and Jacques on the hunt for information, and perhaps trying to procure goods and services along the way. What is this place like in the daytime when there aren't beasts lurking on the outskirts of town? What clues can Team Catapult pick up from the townsfolk?

Today we are resuming our lecture series on the Keepers after the big, climactic events that we discussed last week. We last left Virgil and Jacques in the direct aftermath of their showdown against the Gliscor and Drapion in the middle of Amanita Town. Through careful planning, clever execution, and some timely improvisation, they managed to capture both of the awful beasts. However, the battle has taken its toll, and we find our young initiates battered, bruised, and exhausted. As Team Catapult goes to bandage their wounds and restore their strength, it seems that the people of this desert town can rest easy once again. But questions still remain… what did these creatures really want? Where did they come from? And what has happened to the people who have gone missing?

We are continuing our lecture series on the Keepers, and today is a big one! We last left Virgil and Jacques making their final preparations for the monsters' upcoming attack. After getting some key information and just as importantly, a Shard, they settled on a plan to attempt to protect the town and defeat the beasts. As the most thematically appropriate time of night approaches, the moment for our young Initiates to confront the monsters from the desert is almost here. With Chevalier the Eevee let loose to be a distraction while Virgil and Jacques launch their assault and with Pandora nearby for support, Team Catapult is feeling as ready and confident as they'll ever be. What are the beasts encroaching upon Amanita Town? What do they really want? And will Team Catapult put an end to their reign of terror tonight?

But even though they swept the competition in the Normal Rank Contests, Lady M showed them they still have a long way to go! As they prepared to leave town, Pearl tended to some overdue business and learned some lessons about money along the way. Up next, our heroes are on their way to Crimini City for the Fighting Tournament! As Pearl and Luca leave Chantarelle City, it's time for a change of scenery as they make their way back into the Podostroma Plains. What Pokémon will they encounter along the way?

Today we are continuing our lecture series on the Keepers as the real twists and turns of our tale approach. If you recall, we last left Virgil and Jacques conducting their investigation of Amanita Town, attempting to discern what awful beasts had been attacking the settlement, what they were after, and the best way to stop them. Whether it was a shocking revelation or a grim reminder, seeing the destruction left behind by the creatures was unsettling to say the least. After doing a large amount of evidence gathering and obtaining answers to some of their most urgent questions, our young Initiates are heading into the next phase of their mission: developing a plan of attack. What last-minute information can Virgil and Jacques get to help them achieve their goal? How will they even attempt to deal with creatures that seem so far out of their league? And will Team Catapult get the street cred they so desperately long for? Let's find out in our latest installment… No Mistake! DM: Jonah M.

Now that our Contest shenanigans are over (for now, at least), it's almost time to say goodbye to Chantarelle City! But the questions remain: what is Pearl gonna do with all this prize money?

Hello class, everyone get to your seats, we've got a lot to cover today. We are continuing our lecture series on the Keepers, and things are only going to ramp up from here. Where we last left off, Virgil and Jacques had overcome what felt like the universe itself throwing something that they were incredibly ill-equipped for directly at them in the form of two large, territorial bird Pokémon. Their unlikely victory was a strong reminder of the power of wits and the mind over sheer force, and an important confidence boost leading into the encounter to come. Now that our young Initiates are feeling better about their abilities and Pandora doesn't feel like she has to babysit them (as much as she did, anyway), our trio of Keepers are making their way into Amanita Town to begin tracking down the beasts threatening the dusty settlement. What do the people of Amanita Town know about the awful creatures? What has happened to the unfortunate souls who have encountered them already? And will Team Catapult get the information they need before the beasts come again? Let's find out in our latest installment… Amanita Aberrations! DM: Jonah M.

Previously, Pearl, Luca, and Peach left the mall and went to check out the Chantarelle City Contest Hall. When they arrived, they met Lady M - a Top Coordinator and the winner of last year's Grand Festival! Needless to say, the gang was a little... starstruck. But after getting some helpful information about what to expect, they're ready to show what they've got in the Normal Rank Contests! Is Elmer ready for her big debut?

Previously, Luca faced off against Lem and finally earned his first gym badge! After his victory, Pearl decided that they should celebrate in true Cuddle Bunch fashion - by going on a shopping trip! Following an afternoon of eventful purchases, our heroes are heading over to the Chantarelle Contest Hall to learn more about this new competition!

Alright everyone, settle in, settle in. Today we are continuing our lecture series on the Keepers. As I'm sure you'll recall, we last left Virgil and Jacques on the road to Amanita Town with Pandora as their chaperone. She set up a training exercise for them to try their hand at tracking, and the boys took it upon themselves to battle two large and ferocious beasts that they found in the process of attacking each other - a far cry from, well, crying at the thought of sparring with each other. Now that their adrenaline is pumping, Team Catapult has decided to try their luck looking for something bigger and badder to fight. Is this plan as ill-advised as it sounds? Will it pay off for Virgil and Jacques to hit the EXP grind this hard? Or will their hubris be their downfall? Pandora's on standby in case they royally mess this up, so let's find out what happens in our latest installment… Food Chain! DM: Jonah M.

Hello everyone, please take a seat. Today we will be continuing our lecture series on the Keepers. Where we last left off, Virgil and Jacques took care of some final business before departing for Amanita Town with Pandora. Because a backpack to put your Slowpoke in is very important. The team hit the road in the Iron Chariot and stopped after a while for a little training session. While Pandora searched the area, the boys decided to do a little wild Pokémon catching, with… varying degrees of success. Now that their crying is nearly at an end, it's time for some real on-the-job training, getting a lay of the land and encountering something a little more dangerous than small birds. What test has Pandora come up with for our young initiates? Will Virgil and Jacques find themselves in over their heads? And will this test actually help the boys understand more about the world around them? Let's find out in our latest installment… Ecosystem! DM: Jonah M.

But thanks to Luca, she was able to wake up with enough time to start her challenge! Now that she's cleared the trial, Pearl is about to face off against Lem! Is the Cuddle Bunch ready?

Hello class, please take a seat and settle in. Today we are continuing our lecture series on the Keepers. Where we last left off, Virgil and Jacques spent the night in the Keeper Fortress having wounds attended to and gearing up to leave for their next mission. Virgil began his journey into Pokeball crafting under the tutelage of Gregor, and Jacques learned that the mysterious shrine had bestowed a strange ability upon him. With the morning's unusual occurrences allegedly at an end, the time has come for our young initiates to depart for Amanita Town with Pandora as their guardian. How else will they manage to delay their departure? What information has Pandora been keeping from them? And is this Slowpoke *really* going to become an integral part of Team Catapult?

Hello everyone, and welcome back. I hope you enjoyed your break. Today, we are resuming our lecture series on the Keepers. If you recall, we last left off with Virgil and Jacques returning to the Keeper Fortress after a few hours of free time inexplicably became a life-altering experience. Bloodied and bruised from an encounter with some large feline Pokémon, they came across a mysterious shrine in the Shiitake Forest that left them with more questions than answers as they were confronted by phantoms of their past, present, and future. We now find our young initiates standing in the Great Hall of the Fortress at the end of their strange field trip, in need some good rest before their next mission tomorrow. Will the other Keepers be suspicious of what Team Catapult has been up to? What has become of the foul creatures they caught in the wilderness? And whose bodily functions will be talked about way too much?! Let's find out in our latest installment: Mental State! DM: Jonah M.

Jonah M. Jackson and I launch into Uncharted Worlds to discuss Transform, a move from the Shaper playbook found in the Far Beyond Humanity expansion. This move is mechanically light, relying on another basic move for its trigger, but offers amazing flexibility in play. As you might expect when morphing into wild, alien beasts, the narrative impact of this move can be widely varied depending on the situation. The GM doesn't play a major role in the actual move, but it's incredibly important for you to discuss how you plan to use this move prior to the game.
