Tales from the Glass-Guarded World

This month we're back to a music release, and it's the intro theme from the Tales of Bob miniseries "Cowboy Bebob"! It's inspired by the music of Yoko Kanno and the Seatbelts from Cowboy Bebop, of course. You can hear Mike's friend Norman (from all the way back in high school!) at the beginning. Art for this episode is by Trevor a.k.a. @CosmicAmazing on Instagram. Next week we'll be back with Part 2 of the Star Frontiers playtest.

We're rapidly approaching the end of TFTGGW, but we're taking a break from the main story for this amazing playtest of some new homebrew rules for the classic Star Frontiers role-playing game. Pink, Brandon, Pavel, and Rhett each play members of S.C.U.M., the Splendid Company of Upstanding Mercenaries as they undertake a very shady mission. We think you'll really enjoy this three-part miniseries! At some point we'll have a Star Frontiers over on the Tales of Bob podcast, but first we have to iron out the wrinkles in the game itself. Art for this episode is by Brandon Weigel and Shaunmakes! Connect with us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Discord. Let us know what you think! You can also send us an email. We have an entire channel on Discord for end-of-show questions, some come ask us about those things you always wondered about or risk never finding out!

While Zartok, Ansna, and Gerlos are spreading the Far Off One's magical jars, the rest of the Glass Guardians (Tara, Aster, Coral, Mama Sass, Gasten, and their deck hand, Silver Eyes) are trying to spread the good word about Coral Petrichor, the new god of knowledge. It's time for another narrative skill challenge! Our Spelljammer combat rules are up on the DMs Guild! Check them out. Connect with us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Discord.

The party has split! Zartok, Ansna, and Gerlos are spreading the Far Off One's magical jars around the inside of the crystal sphere that contains their solar system (we're using the classic 2nd Edition Spelljammer cosmology, not the 5E Spelljammer cosmology). Can they succeed at a skills challenge and place enough jars for their plan to work? Our Spelljammer combat rules are up on the DMs Guild! Check them out.

The party has been trying to get some answers, ideas, or decisions out of Mun the Immortal, in his orbitting wizard tower. So far they've only learned that the Far Off One's plan would work. Now Mun has teleported to Corellon's Needle to talk to Coral, who is sulking after Zartok said some unkind things. Brace yourself for some big revelations!

Just when the party seemed victorious, the enemy spelljammer started falling. With only a few rounds before both ships smash into the ground, can Aster and Coral make their way to the other ship to try to release Corellon's Needle from the grappling arms? Coral still has a revivify spell ready for Gerlos, right? Our Spelljammer combat rules are up on the DMs Guild! Check them out. Connect with us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Discord.

After spending an episode trying to break their ship free, and setting the enemy ship on fire, the Neogi have launched another assault!

It's the first release of the month, so we're back to music. This time it's from Tales of Bob: Broken Tusk Rising. We have a lot of combat music for that show, because 1) Pathfinder 2E adventures have a lot of combat, and 2) combat tends to be a bit drawn out. Next week we're back to the Glass Guardians as their ship continues to be grappled by the Neogi Mindspider. Connect with us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Discord. Let us know what you think! You can also send us an email.

The heroes are so, so tired, and the enemy just keeps coming. If they happen to earn a breather, they'll use the time productively and then take decisive action, right? Right? Okay, so this episode is going to be a bit less exciting. Our Spelljammer combat rules are up on the DMs Guild! Check them out. Connect with us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Discord.
