UniversiD&D presents its newest original season, Arcadia: A Space Opera.
A dead empire. A drifting city-ship. A mercenary crew in over their heads.
After the collapse of the Edenic Empire, the galaxy fractured. On the edge of the Arcadia sector, the city-ship BEOWULF is a sanctuary for outlaws, opportunists, and corporations eager to fill the power vacuum. Now, its pastel-lit streets hum with uneasy tension—and the crew of the Orpheus has picked the worst time to start asking questions.
UniversiD&D Productions is a cinematic actual play podcast that strives for deeply unique (bordering on experimental) storytelling. If you are a new listener, we recommend starting at the prologue of season 2 (Arcadia), and continuing from there.
