Explorers Wanted
We are a weekly actual play podcast using the Numenera (http://numenera.com) Discovery and Destiny rules. Set one billion years in the future, we journey across the Ninth World. There have been eight worlds before this, where civilizations rose to intergalactic heights only to fall into ashes, leaving a world of strange relics behind them. Join our ragtag crew of messy adventurers as they navigate weird ruins, contend with criminal intrigue, and ignore their own better judgment... Repeatedly.

Also, when we recorded our Session Zero's our sound setup was not as good as it is for the normal episodes, so please bear with us if you hear some background noise that normally would not appear.

This was just a gag trailer that Daniel created for the cast based on some of the early recordings. The improvisation in ChaCha's session zero that led to the hatred of juggling was too good for him to ignore and so he envisioned an AU where the BBEG is a master juggler.
