The Bastards are taking a brief hiatus so that they can experiment, play, and recover from the tornado that was 2024.
In the meantime, they will be hosting game nights in the Discord, pausing the Patreon for a month, and then releasing some hot, fresh SideArms. (Don't forget that you can speedbinge them on the 7 day free trial!)
Our heroes will be BACK and ready for action in 2025, with a plan to get the whole gang back together... Or die trying.

Hello Backwater Bastards listeners! This week, we're introducing you to The Sprouting, another actual play podcast we think you'll enjoy!
The Sprouting Season 1, Ch. 01 The Meeting of Souls - Pt 1
Welcome to The Cradle. Our protagonists meet at a fuel stop... sorry, Gas Station... and come to the realization that travelling onwards as a group is far safer than travelling alone. As they navigate this eldritch plant strewn world, what horrors might they encounter?
I guess you're about to find out.
