It’s a Gamble

The flip of a card, a roll of the dice.
We start, once again, with another big heist.
A slick team of criminals take it in stride.
And they have no idea what’s happened outside.

It’s a Gamble visits a psychedelic world where consequence is newly dead, love is in trouble, and the main characters just can’t get it right. Follow a brand new set of Fools juggling complicated relationships, calamities, and folly in Planet Arcana’s new 8-episode Actual Play, using A Fool’s Errand as the game system.

Planet Arcana’s new actual play, It’s a Gamble, is the first to use A Fool’s Errand as a finalized system, custom built by and for the Planet Arcana crew.

It’s a Gamble features new guest players Shenuque Tissera (My First Dungeon) and Alex Nursall (Woodbine), with returning guest player Lexi McQueen (Strix U). J Strautman and B Marsollier remain dual game runners, Shaun Oldfield produces, and Peter Marsollier provides production assistance.

J Strautman remains audio editor, composer, and sound designer for the series, and B Marsollier provides additional music and lyrics.
