Actual Play
The BastardQuest podcast brings together four friends from over ten years of improv and sketch comedy, indie filmmaking, and pop culture podcasts. Forged in the small town obscurity of western Kentucky, BastardQuest takes a unique approach to the world of actual play podcasts, with a format based around ridiculous narrative setups, colorful character acting, balanced crunch, and the art of improvisation. Over time, our show has also grown to include a healthy dose of lesser-known tabletop roleplaying games, shining a spotlight on exciting new releases, uniquely fascinating systems, and independent developers and publishers.
