Hello everyone and welcome to the inaugural voyage of the Inspired Incompetence podcast! I know most of you were expecting us to be starting our Tyrant's Grasp playthrough this week, and believe us, we wanted nothing more than to bring it to you, but alas, 2020 had one more gut punch to throw at us before departing. This gut punch came in the form …

This is it, folks. The gang rides the waves for the last time in our piratical finale as we draw a close to our Skull & Shackles adventure. It's been over two and a half years following this band of misfits all over the ocean, but the time has finally come to say goodbye. Don't think for one second this means we're done, however. Though this is our…

It seems things are going well outside, so now we rejoin the gang as they plunge into the sea caves beneath the Hurricane King's fortress where he is bravely hiding out. The big question remains, though: how much of a gauntlet remains for the gang to rush through before they find him? As always, please remember to subscribe, rate, and review us in …

As the gang continues their infiltration of the Hurricane King's fortress there just happens to be a massive naval battle going on in the lagoon outside. This week, we're going to take a step back from the infiltration to see how that battle is progressing. We're even getting a bit of help as the gang is joined by James Schwarz of the Dimension Doo…

The gang is in the midst of their final push towards the big ending they've been striving for for so long.

It has finally come to this. After all the social climbing and a veritable mountain of corpses, the time has come for the gang to re-form the hierarchy in the Shackles one axe swing, one slaw swipe, one fireball, and one booking at a time. The foe is ready and waiting, but will it matter? As always, please remember to subscribe, rate, and review us…

There are some big things happening in the Shackles these days. Invasions and incompetence and just rank corruption all the way down.

It's time for another Pirate Meeting y'all! This time, there appears to be urgent business coming, and the gang needs to rally the Pirate Council to action if they're going to rise to the occasion.

The assault is on! In quite possibly the largest threat the gang has ever faced, their oldest foe is yet to make an appearance despite promises to the contrary.

It's amazing who you get to meet when you become a high roller. All of a sudden, everyone wants a meeting, and this time around it's the head of one of the Shackles largest cities.

After a stunning move with the gang avoiding not one, but two potential combat situations, this island is turning out to not be as deadly as advertised. Things can quickly change though, especially when this particular band of pirates are involved, as it appears despite their efforts, they are still no closer to the information they seek. What othe…

Holy crap, we've been doing this for 100 episodes already?! In a crazy turn this time around, the gang has discovered some corpses washed up on a beach that are not what they seem.

The gang's first meeting of the Pirate Council is in the books, and they seem to have come away from it with a promising new lead on some information that might help them on their continuing quest to eliminate Barnabus Harrigan. Now the trick becomes: will they be able to follow up on that lead before anyone else does, or will it slip through their…

The time has come to dive into Book 5 of Skull & Shackles. The gang has overcome a lot to get this far, but finally, they join the ranks of the Pirate Council.

The party is finally upon us!

Another great victory for the gang as preparations are underway for their upcoming party.

This feels weird. No one is on the brink of death, no one has any prevailing detrimental conditions (unless you count puberty), the island seems to be reined in, and the gang is off doing what they do best: piracy! This is a rather refreshing change of pace, but we all know it can't quite be that easy, so what is going to go wrong this time? Let's …

Just when the gang was starting to feel safe on their island, they just had to go out and explore one more time. At least no one died this time (for long), but now there's a couple of gigantic crustaceans and a few thousand of their closest friends harassing the gang. Don't they get it? This isn't their island anymore. It seems the gang will have t…

Huh. It turns out there is a cure for insanity, after all. Who knew? Either way, it's time for the gang to finish the job they were given. It's time to make sure the newly minted Sharksbane Island is fully cleared of threats and time to get prepared to host some very important guests. As always, please remember to subscribe, rate, and review us in …

What's a little brush with death among crewmembers eh? Everyone's just fine now...physically, at least. It seems that brush with death has left a couple members of the gang with a slight case of insanity, so now they're all off to port to find someone who can take care of this little snafu. What price will the gang have to pay for this treatment th…

For once, things are looking up for the gang. The island has apparently been cleared of all of its major threats and inhabitants, so now begins the cleanup. As some of the crew gets to work making the fort presentable, the gang heads out to investigate a few other points of interest around the island to make sure there aren't any other nasty surpri…
