And now in this, the final hour- behind the pizza-slick shroud of RANGO™® the deceiver of Bengaman's- our fellowship gathers in the neon light of an arcade and our man of no name but of many birthdays is challenged to a dance-off.

The Birthdaying continues with PART TWO of the saga! Cleo, Dr. Ze, and their new compatriot "the man with no name" are reeling in tickets and getting close to not being invited back.

The hunt for the egg continues as the Bastards "stealth" through the enemy base. In between the splitting of the party, the massive firefight, and all of the ...questionable choices- will the young ovum ever make its way back onto Reese? Will the Bastards get a chance to be a family again? Or will this rescue op end on the roof of this base- surrounded by enemy fire, as an escape ship hovers precariously above their heads... - Starring: DM Dick Dynamite the Dungeon Master Richard

All of the Bastards and their newfound compatriots have gathered back at the ship and are about to set out on a... mission of stealth? Can they do it?

Either way, they're on the trail, deep into an enemy base- to retrieve their lost loot... - Starring: DM Dick Dynamite the Dungeon Master Richard Kimber-Bell Herodotus Arthurion Mendleroth III -- Even Mehl Amundsen Cleo deCap -- Taylor van Biljon Dr Ze/Doctor

After a SECOND narrow station escape, our Bastards have finally dropped into contested space. Buckled in with their crate of credits, a mildly jostled but intact mystery charge, and a creaking but still cruising ship- things are looking promising, at long last. Except- a planetary body may be approaching in the front-illuminated by the faint glow of an enemy armada from behind, and the inscrutable, perfect dark of a twisting figure, not in front, or behind- ..but everywhere. And it hungers...HOLD

Our adventure begins. Our scene is the Midspace star station. A long-forgotten diplomatic hub torn between three warring empires.
