Hey everyone! This intro has been updated to keep up to date on how we've evolved as a show. For those wanting to start from the beginning, each of our 3 seasons is designed to be jumped right into and each 1st episode contains a recap of the story so far and a reintroduction to the characters. In terms of audio and editing quality, Season 1 is the lowest, but improves greatly over the course of the season.

You can also jump in on any of our many Oneshots. These are fun self contained stories and do not spoil the main campaign. We also have two Oneshots of the Scifi Horror RPG Mothership.

Please check out our socials @nwtbpodcast and our twitter at @nwtbugbear for some amazing artwork of our episodes and characters, also to keep up to date on what's happening. We also have a youtube channel NWTBPODCAST which has some great video versions of our oneshots.

Happy listening!

The battle with Karnethrax has tested the adventurers to their limit, will Qalthus prove an ally to their cause? or betray them....

Before getting into the serious role-playing character driven drama here at Nobody Wake the Bugbear, it's important for us to relax, eat snacks and warm up the vocal cords. Here is a small outtake reel and an example of what is generally left on the cutting room floor. 

Warning! Limited editing, some bad parody and explicit language.

We're kicking off July with a continuation of our Mothership RPG colour anthology. Join us as we create new characters on the fly to play through the next Oneshot in this great system. We will be playing Rane in Blood by Eric Alsandor. You can find the adventure and more at his itch.io page at https://spider00x.itch.io/rane-in-blood as well as DrivethroughRPG. See you next week for the start!
