A Fun Live-Play Adventure

This is a live-play group playing a sci-fi game with in-character voices, dice rolling, and a "Star Daddy" GM. The cast is smart and funny (and communist). I really enjoy their romps across the (Stars Without Number TTRPG) galaxy. Things are dark, deadly, and rediculous for the crew. I really enjoyed the first story arc but the second ("Goonies") arc less so. I'm just now listening to what comes next. The cast is an absolute joy as long as they are never given any true political power. DO NOT GIVE STAR DADDY ANY POLITICAL POWER. ☆☆☆☆
