Season 3 News & January 2019 GOTM Game: Return of the Obra Dinn

To kick off a new year and a new season, we are excited to announce some new developments for the Game of the Month Club for Season 3 in 2019!

Happy New Year, everyone! Over the last year, we’ve played and discussed 10 games and it’s been a blast. We really enjoy making this podcast so we want to expand it with a few new shiny things.

Patreon – We now have a Patreon where you can support the podcast with small monthly donations. If you do, you can and get cool perks in return like early access to new episodes, polls about our content, blooper reels, and more! If we reach $100 monthly we will also be giving away a copy of each month’s game in a drawing. This will help us cover the expenses of the podcast so that we can do even more.

This also means that we will be sticking to a more regular schedule for the new year. Patreon supporters will get new episodes on the 1st of every month (starting with s3 e1 on February 1st), and episodes will be released for everyone on the 8th.

Discord Community – We want to hear from listeners and fans, so we set up a Discord server for Little Rock Games. There, you can hang out and discuss our games, Game-of-the-Month picks, and more. Feel free to join if you want to chat with us and figure out what we are up to.

Twitch Streaming – We know it can be hard to keep up with a new game every month for the podcast, so we are going to start streaming some of the games we play on Twitch. That way you can follow along and get our freshest takes on the game. This is a great way to experience the games we play if you can’t pick up each game every month.

We are also introducing a Game-of-the-Season, which we will play over the next six months and discuss in our Season 3 finale. There are some games that are difficult to fully experience in one month, and so this will allow us to give bigger games the time they deserve. Our first Game-of-the-Season is God of War, which is available only on PS4. Just as with our monthly games, we’d love for you to play along with us (if you haven’t already) and send us your thoughts for the episode that we will record at the end of June!


Finally, for our first episode of Season 3, Brad chose Return of the Obra Dinn by Papers Please creator Lucas Pope. Join us in exploring the mystery of the abandoned merchant ship, Obra Dinn. This episode will be our first Patreon supported episode, so subscribe to get those new perks!

Return of the Obra Dinn is available now on Steam and a demo can be found on Itch.io.

We have a lot to look forward to in 2019, and we hope you’ll join us!

Gamble, bluff, negotiate, and tell tales of space adventure. The richest scoundrel may win the game, but everyone enjoys a great story!

Hi friends! We’re excited to announce the launch of our very first Kickstarter project for Galactic Scoundrels! We’re blown away the support we’ve gotten so far. In our first 24 hours, we managed to get to 42% of our $17,000 goal! HUGE thanks to everyone who’s backed us so far. We couldn’t make this game without you.

Cruise on over to the Galactic Scoundrels Kickstarter page and join the campaign. As a new start-up company, your support of our inaugural game release means Little Rock Games will be able to continue to develop and produce great games for years to come. We’re glad to have you with us on this part of our journey, and we’re grateful for your interest and support.

THANK YOU!

About Galactic Scoundrels

Galactic Scoundrels is a game made by and for people who love science fiction stories from the morally questionable end of the galaxy. From Firefly to Cowboy Bebop to Star Wars to Rick and Morty, the game has a trope for just about every scoundrel story out there, but it tilts toward the space-western genre more than most.

You have one goal in the game: to become the richest swindler in the galaxy, while telling some beautiful stories along the way. You’ll attempt this by agreeing to some not-very-nice jobs. Whether it’s an assassination, a kidnapping, or just an old-fashioned smuggling run, everyone playing tells the tale of each job one event at a time. Every action taken, every roll of the dice, every card played advances the story, complicating the adventure of the scoundrel who’s trying to make it to payday. Adventures can be serious or silly, tame or wild, absurd or plausible, whatever the players in your game decide. Along the way, the game will have you gambling, bluffing, negotiating, and occasionally tricking other players for a bit of extra profit.

It’s a wild, woolly mess of a galaxy out there, and it’s filled with stories. See if you have what it takes to survive them in Galactic Scoundrels.
