About the backwater bastards

Backwater Bastards is a comedy improv actual play podcast played by a group of artists from all over the world.

The adventure began in 2018 with our first complete DnD 5e homebrew campaign “Rhalloran”, which is now accessible on Patreon, so you can see where we learned all our tricks. We have since moved on to the final frontier in “Orbital Refuse”, a new campaign that uses a sci-fi game system created by none other than our very own DM Dick Dynamite (Richard Kimber-Bell).

We have recorded and published over 140 lifetime episodes, added a second show called SideArm, and we release every Tuesday and Thursday. We’ve got a tight little community on Discord, and we’re STILL growin’! (Seriously, somebody send new pants.)

Our intrepid team produces, edits, and, creates the show, (aka tapes it together and puts out the fires), and EVEN manages to step out to guest on other shows and live productions. If you’d like to work with The Bastards, let us know! We are big fans of collaboration and no stranger to the wild wild weird of new ideas.

So join us, listen to our show, and when you’re fully briefed- come find us on the web!

We have been searching whole worlds for you, traveler.

Richard “DM DICK DYNAMITE” Kimber-Bell

The voice of Haex Masath the half-orc sorcerer and Cleo deCap the human bear, Tay is a graphic designer, actual multi-tool, and the secret wizard that powers our socials, brains out production strategy, and whatever else needs a sticker on it.

Daniel “DAN” Matthews

The voice of The Baron DeBauche and Dr. Zafrey Elektra (affectionately known as Dr. Ze), Dan is a concept artist for games and film, the engineer responsible for the Bastard sound, and the guy that started it all. Working behind the scenes on almost everything we’ve got, if there’s a hat, you can bet Dan’s wearin’ it. Or is that Ze? Wait.
