Astronomica
Welcome to Astronomica, a science fiction OSR actual play podcast using the Stars Without Number RPG system. Join Star Master Stan and regular players Colin, Cullen, Geoff, and Kristen as they crew the definitely-not-piloted-by-a-rogue-AI ship The Admiral Grace. From encounters with magnificent space whales to battling intergalactic corporate scumbags, there is nothing this crew can't make way more complicated than it needs to be. Tag along every Wednesday and listen in as we learn that the true friends were the ones you decompressed and maybe accidentally spaced along the way.

Ep 22: One More Paradox for the Road
We join the crew of the Admiral Grace mid-conflict with three AITF (Artificial Intelligence, Tobacco, and Firearms) bots on the ground and the ominous sound of the Dove of Peace drilling into the ice above. While Mackie and Anton try desperately to pull Hopper away from his efforts to destroy the AI core, Hilde swoops in to check the wreckage for salvageable material. It's only a matter of moments before the scene changes yet again and the crew is faced with a terrible choice: try to restrain Hopper in the dubious safety of a security corridor or release him to the unknown danger of the Dove's nominal justice.
