    RQ Network Feed Drop – Planet Arcana: Episode 1 – Welcome to Riskotheque

    We are featuring a feed drop from a brilliant show on the RQ Network: Planet Arcana. Created by the talented J Strautman and B Marsollier.    Planet Arcana is a science fantasy audio fiction, presented by two game runners, and built through a D&D 5e framework. The show will appeal to fans of actual play and audio drama alike.  The world of Planet Arcana is rife with mystery, intrigue and crime and no answer is ever straightforward. What really happened at the Riskotheque casino? Who’s been stealing Android organs? And why?  4000 years after a calamity known as the Big Oops, the world of Planet Arcana is a place of humans and androids, neon metropolises, sunken cities, phenomenal parties, paranormal oddities, and a pantheon of Major Arcana.  An influencer, a drug dealer, and a cowboy walk into a casino, then into a vast mystery of science, magic, and Tarot-inspired gods. Three Fools on a simple quest to find a key, and open a box.  Introduction and outro by Lowri Ann Davies. Listen to Planet Arcana on The Rusty Quill website, on Acast, or wherever you get your podcasts, or learn more about Planet Arcana on its official website.     If you want to support planet arcana and its creators, until November 15th, at 10 PM PST head to www.rustyquill.com/foolserrand     For ad-free and early access episodes and exclusive bonus content you can join their Patreon at Patreon.com/planetarcana    Credits:    Co-Creators & DMs J Strautman and B Marsollier    Performed By J Strautman, B Marsollier, Peter Marsollier, Shaun Oldfield, and Skye Wallace  Editing, original music, and sound design by J Strautman  Sound effects from Nikko Hunt's Cinematic Sound Pack [https://nikkohunt.gumroad.com/l/dpclP] used, under CC by 4.0 [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode].
