A Fool’s Errand | "The Network Defenders" E01 - Memories

Ep. 1
•

Planet Arcana presents The Network Defenders: the first instalment of our new mini-series entitled “A Fool’s Errand”, a story built using our new game system of the same name. 


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?
