Welcome, Artists, to the world of Divination RPG! The PHB Cast is entering their spooky era for this limited series run of the Tarot-driven TTRPG, Divination. A little about the game: Divination is a Tarot-driven roleplaying game about the voices inside a person’s head. What does it mean to be Tarot-driven? Simply that the cards are at the heart of everything from mechanics to story: they've defin...

Hey Voidfarer, quite a ride huh? Hey now, no tears. Try to remember the good times. I tried to teach you everything I know about the Void, now it’s time for you to make a go of it on your own. Don't be afraid now, the Void is endless and dangerous, but also filled with life and hope- go out there and get after it. In this one Raine, Xandar, and H.A.R.T change the Void.

Hey Voidfarer, these are the times we live for. Some folks live life slower than molasses running up hill in the winter. But me? I’d rather live it fast. We might not have much time left, so why waste it? In this one, Raine, Xandar and H.A.R.T. set their sights on the finish line.

Hey Voidfarer, this is your pal Orion Starcross interrupting your regularly scheduled programming to remind you that “aliens” are nothing to be afraid of. Our friends from the stars have a lot to offer us as long as we keep an open mind and open heart. If we want humanity to thrive in the Void we’re going to need all the help we can get. Just remember, galactic integration doesn't mean we have to...

Hey Voidfarer, time to see if this little show was worth the price of admission. When I was tearing it up on this old rock as a youngster I remember sneaking into an R rated VRfilm with some of my buddies. Can't even tell you what it was about; all I remember is the feeling of getting away with something. Like a drug. In this one Raine, Xandar, and H.A.R.T blast through.

Hey Voidfarer, when all is said and done and the last body falls- who’s gonna remember who actually shot first? Naw, history will always be revised to paint those left on top in the best light. Begs the question, at the end of all this… if it’s left up to you Voidfarer, what story are you gonna tell? In this one Raine, Xandar, and H.A.R.T push forward.

Hey Voidfarer, they say you can never really go home. Honestly, I never tried it myself. Maybe it’s the thought of going backwards, maybe it’s the look on the faces of the ones I left behind. I guess we’re all running from something. I’ll keep on Voidbound until that day it all catches up with me. In this one Raine, Xandar, and H.A.R.T give it away.

Hey Voidfarer, clocks ticking. If you got any cards left in that hand of yours, now's the time to play’em. What are you so worried about? Never knew you to be afraid of a few surprises. In this one Raine, Xandar, and H.A.R.T get real.

Hey Voidfarer, the barrier is pretty thin when you get to thinking about it. All that separates you from the howling void is a sheet of metal and maybe a few copper wires and pipes. Only takes a small breach to tear through that warm precious flimsy atmosphere and cut you to the core. Don't go opening things up unless you’re ready for what’s on the other side, waiting. In this one Raine, Xandar, a...

Hey Voidfarer, you ever spent time on Dracona? They say it's the oldest habitable planet in the Void. The creatures there ain't like anything you’ve seen. The Flayers, the Elves… they all took one look at those dragons, and turned the other way.  In this one Raine, Xandar, and H.A.R.T salvage what they can.

Hey Voidfarer, you ever roll with a fleet? Nothing like it. Being part of the swarm. A hundred ships at your back and all of a sudden the Void’s not such a scary place. Careful though, while there’s certainly safety in numbers- a bigger target’s always easier to hit. In this one Raine, Xandar, and H.A.R.T begin the interrogation.

Hey Voidfarer, nothing like a dogfight to bring a crew together. Out in the void time moves different. The scratches between action can feel like years. But in a single shot that powderkeg goes boom and you’re all one bad call from oblivion. Can’t really know if you are ready till you gotta be ready. In this one Raine, Xandar, and H.A.R.T join the fray. Support the show at patreon.com/thepodhasbee...

Hey Voidfarer, we leave little things behind everywhere we go. Sometimes intentionally, sometimes not. A Void long trail of things we’ve touched and discarded. When you finally return to the dust that makes up everything, what will you have left behind? Who’s following that trail? In this one Raine, Xandar, and H.A.R.T take it on themselves.

Hey Voidfarer, there’s a lot out there in the Void that can’t- that shouldn’t be trusted. Pirates & mercs, AI’s & sometimes even planets. But above all else, across any systems near and Far… never trust a politician. In this one Raine, Xandar, and H.A.R.T fix what they can.

Hey Voidfarer, I’m no good at goodbyes. A good one though… that can feel like a new beginning. We don't have each other forever. So next time they ask you to dance, just say yes. In this one Raine, Xandar, and H.A.R.T take them home.

Hey Voidfarer, it only moves when you ain't lookin. Take time to catch yourself, to check up on eachother, or count the fallen. Just remember, your enemy don’t sleep. And every second you give is a second he takes. No take backsies now…  In this one Raine, Xandar, and H.A.R.T move to extract.

Hey Voidfarer, the body also has ways of getting rid of things it doesn't want. No, not just the gross stuff, but the other things we ingest throughout our lives. Virus and infections like anger, guilt and shame. The body stores as much as it can handle before it all comes pouring out. In this one Raine, Xandar, and H.A.R.T step in it.

Hey Voidfarer, the body’s got all sorts of ways of defending itself. And the body remembers. An attack against flesh, an attack against the system- the body keeps score. Be sure, next time it won't go down quite as easy; if it goes down at all. In this one Raine, Xandar, and H.A.R.T make a diagnosis.

Hey Voidfarer, you don’t leave folx behind I respect that. I remember when my old squad deserted me on a job that went south of bad. Right in the middle of a glass storm on the green moon of Dracona. Weird, wasn’t the fear of a lonely death that came first. It was the relief, the relief that I wasn’t taking anyone down with me. In this one Raine, Xandar, and H.A.R.T look behind.

Hey Voidfarer, can’t let the infection get too deep. Wait too long and it’ll be all rot straight to the bone. Get in quick, decisive like. Even just a little piece left is enough to fester. Won’t know where you begin and the decay ends. In this one Raine, Xandar, and H.A.R.T make the incision.
