The Bastards are taking a brief hiatus so that they can experiment, play, and recover from the tornado that was 2024.
In the meantime, they will be hosting game nights in the Discord, pausing the Patreon for a month, and then releasing some hot, fresh SideArms. (Don't forget that you can speedbinge them on the 7 day free trial!)
