J is one of the Dungeon Masters for Planet Arcana, and the co-designer of A Fool’s Errand, a tarot-fueled science fantasy game set in a vibrant post-calamity world of Androids, Humans, and those in between. We sit down to build out characters and explore the world of the game, discovering a calamitous, world-shaking Big Oops along the way–and asking the question “what is life like for the people alive in its wake?”
AJ is an Actual Play performer, video editor, cosplayer, and (like me) a wearer of many hats; you can most recently hear them on the latest arc of One Shot, playing Machine Impossible, and as a player on The Lurking Legends (a rotating GM, One Piece-inspired Actual Play series). We sat down for a game of Friendly Neighborhood Superhero, a game about superheroic action and protecting your community. We geek out SO MUCH about superheroes, y’all. It’s great.
Chris is a voice actor, actual play producer, and founder of Taíno Tales, an award-nominated, queer latine-led TTRPG actual play channel. We sit down to play Ironsworn Starforged, and encounter a horrifying discovery and a dangerous showdown on a snow-blighted wasteland planet!
For more Pale Dot, check out the newest episode of Party of One (Plus One) on the Patreon feed for a special session with the game’s designer, Devin Nelson!
Austin is the host of Secret Histories of Nerd Mysteries, a podcast breaking down the untold stories behind questions such as “Why does Charles Entertainment Cheese love birthdays so much?” and “Why are Saturday Morning Cartoons such Toy Commercials?”, as well as one of the designers of Kids in Capes. We sit down to play The Weaver’s Observatory, an adventure about a desperate traveler climbing a tower to ask Fate for a holy boon!
