Strap in for a sickening voyage.

“Hold on everyone,” you tell the crew in the Helm Room. “I have an idea. A very brave idea…” You valiantly leave the room, then sneakily tip-top over to the Escape Pod Room. The room is locked, but after inserting your Captain’s Club card into the reader, the metal door whooshes up. This is your […]

You swallow the pill with a bottle of New Water in the Escape Pod. Then you bravely decide to not abandon everyone in the ultimate act of cowardice. You stand up, hitting your head against the top of the pod. Damn, the ceiling on these things is small. You leave the pod and head back […]

Your escape pod blasts away from the Hiyabuddie. Through a small porthole window, you can see the Zibblins overwhelm your ship, until the angle changes and they look invisible to you again. Wow, those guys really are tricky. Not your problem anymore though.  On Flee TV, they’re playing a movie called Bad Captain, about a […]

While the crew cheers their escape, you run to the captain’s toilet and… well, it’s not pretty. Medical Officer Bennigans hears your retching and asks if you’re “okay in […]

The ship suddenly stops. No enemy fighters. The Hiyabuddie is light years out of harm’s way. You feel lightheaded and fatigued, but otherwise okay for now. So you’re excited to continue on as captain. After all, every adventure, every jump to warp speed, is yet another high stakes roll of the dice, where personal humiliation […]

“Laser Cannon Operator Ripz,” you say, pointing to Ripz, the Laser Cannon Operator. “Keep operating the Laser Cannon, Ripz.”  The snake-headed mutant shakes his head at you. “I can’t hit the Zibblins, captain. They’re not even thhhhhree dimensional. It’thhh unfair!” Ripz hisses. “Well, keep firing until you do hit them!” You sit in your captain’s […]
