About this Podcast Series:

At the edge of known space, the UASN Oracle, a military destroyer turned science vessel, begins a survey mission in an unexplored star system. In the face a dire threat to all of humanity, Ardelle Leath, a junior officer, on board the Oracle, will struggle to overcome her past and fulfill her duty to the United Alliance Space Navy (UASN) as leadership is thrust upon her.

'Flight of the Orace' blends immersive story telling with ambient sounds and music into a military sci-fi audio drama. It's also a solo role-playing 'Actual Play' experience that uses the OneDice role-playing game (RPG) system to both propel the plot forward and to handle conflict mechanics. Out-of-character (OOC) moments pull back the curtain, revealing die results, insights into game mechanics, character decisions, and on-the-fly world building. Content Rating: PG-13 for action violence, gore, and some minor foul language. For detailed information about the content rating, see my About page at https://www.patreon.com/rollponderandplay/about

About this Episode:

Welcome to the first episode (well the "zeroth" technically) of the 'Flight of the Oracle' podcast, a military sci-fi audio drama and solo RPG actual play! This is the "session 0" where we discuss the setting, the RPG system used to handle conflict resolution, the protagonist I'll be playing, and the UASN Oracle, the ship that the podcast is named after.
