Hello!

I have been listening to this podcast since May and it has been my driving buddy for the last 6 months and now I’ve finally caught up.

Help! What do I do? How am I supposed to drive without all the snark and drama and derring do of the bad heroes?!

P.s it’s really good thank you!

Hello there!!

It's a joy to hear we have been your driving buddies for so much of the year!

Of course there are no heroes quite as bad as we are, but for more misadventures may I humbly recommend @shrimpandcrits and @monsterhourpod! You will find chaos, levity, and in the bonus content you may even find me!

Looking forward to keeping you company with future Bad Heroes episodes — thank you for the kind words.

❤️ Drea

Voting for the CRIT Awards is open until June 30!

We're thrilled that our very own Drea Silvertooth has been nominated for Best GM of a Paizo game and Lian Xia Rose for Best Player in a Paizo game. 💕 If you're one of the people who threw in a nomination, THANK YOU!!

When Drea won a CRIT Award last year, it resulted in endless teasing from the Bad Heroes cast. Here is a compilation of them getting dragged.

(Spoilers for Bad Heroes Ep. 67)

So, Rivha got bit. Thrice.

There’s an appropriate amount of nerves and tension. Rivha’s seeing that awful ghoul poison creeping up her skin, up her veins.

All sound is fading, as all is lost…

And then a twinkle, a shine

And then Rivha rises to strike a pose

As Conga by Gloria Estefan starts playing

And the Ghouls hiss in revilement

As the wet meat grinder truly begins.

@badheroescast

Glorious

(I also do really very much appreciate the horror of this whole scenario, it’s just an incredible moment)

I saw this when it came out, and it’s a damn shame I didn’t immediately post it. This is one of my favorite podcasts and the main reason I seek out ttrpg podcasts on actual podcasting platforms now!

(Take a shot for every ‘podcast’ I said in that last sentence)

Bad Heroes: They’ve got great and terrible monsters of all kinds, lovely queer characters, sinister queer characters, enemies turned friends, intrigue, mystery, very atmospheric sound design, a wicked theme song (you can hear it in the trailer) and a cellar full of barrels of laughs. And if none of that’s enough, Talgron’s gonna get you if you don’t.*

Why should you be scared of Talgron?

Listen to Bad Heroes on all major podcast platforms or catch their devilish debut on YouTube this fall!

*There is no legal threat on your life, Talgron does what he wants, we could not control him even if we tried.

[badheroescast]

We are totally blown away by this thoughtful rec, what a joy to read <333 Thank you!!

P.S. While everyone should be scared of Talgron, Vyer is a fair and lawful nation and he will only get you if you commit a crime

P.P.S. Not listening to us is a Vyran crime
