We are featuring a feed drop from a brilliant show on the RQ Network: Planet Arcana. Created by the talented J Strautman and B Marsollier.  Planet Arcana is a science fantasy audio fiction, presented by two game runners, and built through a D&D 5e framework. The show will appeal to fans of actual play and audio drama alike. The world of Planet Arcana is rife with mystery, intrigue and crime and no answer is ever straightforward. What really happened at the Riskotheque casino? Who’s been stealing Android organs? And why? 4000 years after a calamity known as the Big Oops, the world of Planet Arcana is a place of humans and androids, neon metropolises, sunken cities, phenomenal parties, paranormal oddities, and a pantheon of Major Arcana. An influencer, a drug dealer, and a cowboy walk into a casino, then into a vast mystery of science, magic, and Tarot-inspired gods. Three Fools on a simple quest to find a key, and open a box. Introduction and outro by Lowri Ann Davies. Listen to Planet Arcana on The Rusty Quill website, on Acast, or wherever you get your podcasts, or learn more about Planet Arcana on its official website.   If you want to support planet arcana and its creators, until November 15th, at 10 PM PST head to www.rustyquill.com/foolserrand   For ad-free and early access episodes and exclusive bonus content you can join their Patreon at Patreon.com/planetarcana  Credits:  Co-Creators & DMs J Strautman and B Marsollier  Performed By J Strautman, B Marsollier, Peter Marsollier, Shaun Oldfield, and Skye Wallace Editing, original music, and sound design by J Strautman Sound effects from Nikko Hunt's Cinematic Sound Pack [https://nikkohunt.gumroad.com/l/dpclP] used, under CC by 4.0 [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode].

We are featuring a feed drop from a brand-new show recently launched on the RQ Network: Plant Murder. Created and Hosted by Aaron Reardon the talented creator behind Selene.   Plant Murder is a podcast that unearths the deadly intersection of plants and true crime. Each episode delves into the dark history behind fascinating plants, their fatal impact on infamous figures, and the mysterious circumstances surrounding their use.  In this first episode, Claudius, the emperor of Rome, is seated at a feast surrounded by his family, trusted servants, and assorted delicacies. But something about this night is different. It happens fast—. One minute, he’s gorging himself on his favorite foods, the next, he collapses, and vomits blood across the mosaic floor, his body convulsing. Within hours, he’s dead. As Claudius lay gasping for breath on the cold marble floor, his body wracked with convulsions, the evidence of his murder was already slipping away. What killed him? Poison in the mulsum wine. The oysters? Or his favorite, a tiny hidden killer – slipped onto his place of Mushrooms! And who put it there?  Join us for this episode of Roman intrigue as we peel back the mystery and determine if it was Plant Murder!  Introduction and outro by Billie Hindle. Listen to Plant Murder on The Rusty Quill website, on Acast, or wherever you get your podcasts, or learn more about Plant Murder on its official website.  For ad-free episodes, extras, extended reading, Q&A's, polls and discussions you can join their Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Cleverthan   Credits:  Written and narrated by Aaron J Reardon Voice Talents Quotes - Tali Hamilton Tacitus - John Kennard  Show theme: Poetic Justice by John Humphrey PRS Publisher: 2496 Sound and Music Some Ambiences composed by Michael Ghelfi Studios  *A note on ableism and Claudius: While history often mocks Claudius as a fool, it’s important to remember that these slights were due to his perceived indecisiveness and political naivety, not his physical afflictions. His stammer, limp, and other challenges were frequently weaponized against him by a ruthless elite, but his struggles did not define his intellect or accomplishments. In fact it showed great strength of character to weather those slights and persist. Claudius’ weakness lay in his trusting nature, not in his disabilities. It is my hope that this episode reflects that understanding.  Sources for this episode can be found on the notes of the original episode on Plant Murder here: Plant Murder Episode 1 Content warnings: Poisoning, Murder, Conspiracy, Sudden Death, Eating / Overeating, Sickness, Bleeding, Bullying Mentions of: Incest  SFX :  Sickness, Gurgling, Dying noises
