The Network Defenders
Who defends the realm of collective consciousness?
The Network Defenders have long been a subtle protective influence over the realm of dreams and data. Now, half the Network Defenders have gone missing. With KnightFall’s most recent disappearance, can Snowshoe and his deadly crew find the missing Defenders and save themselves from the sleepwalkers, glitches, and their own worst memories?
The Network Defenders is the first instalment of Planet Arcana’s new self contained side series, A Fool’s Errand. These self contained stories are suitable for new listeners.
This first instalment features new guest players Drakoniques (Beyond the Brook) and Samm Star (Transplanar), returning guest player Noordin Ali Kadir (GUDIYA), and main cast members J Strautman and B Marsollier as the game runners. Other Planet Arcana main cast add their fingerprints to the final product with Shaun Oldfield as tech producer and video editor. Peter Marsollier and Skye Wallace provide additional production assistance.
J Strautman remains as editor, composer, and sound designer for the instalment, with B Marsollier providing additional music and lyrics.
