Deck of Many Aces – Details, episodes & analysis

Join Chloe and the RPGeeks as they play through a game written by actual NASA (yes, really!) and fight to restore one of the biggest scientific instruments in the world!

NASA went and made a TTRPG so we thought we'd get some nerdy friends together to play through it!

The RPGeeks go live every Wednesday at 7pm UK time.   / rpgeeksdnd

Our heroes travelled to the Eternal Shards, only to find them childless. 

Their services are still required, however… Raina drinks (responsibly). Delphi debates stabbing a child. Tosyha inquires about the buffness of a local. Morgan hatches a plan.

A straight-talking bard, a social pariah, a sweet-faced noble, and a distinctly distracted warlock walk into a meeting room in a bustling city. Their task: investigate ever-increasing strange occurrences. Sounds straightforward. But as they travel to the Eternal Shards, they find the situation far more complicated…
